Hi Guys,

I am wondering if €1600 enough as living expenses for a single person.

Let's say that I want to live in 1 to 1.5 apartment in area A or B, and I want to go out twice a week (go out in my dictionary means to eat out with friends or do some local activities). also, this should include gym transportation and food.

here are my calculations:

1- 700 accommodation (warm)
2- 400 groceries
3- 100 transportation and mobile utilities
4- 200 entertainments
5- 200 unexpected expenses

total: 1600

Would you just verify, is my assumption correct? Is about €1600 good enough for a single to live? I'm looking at eating out on weekends, cinema, gym, etc.

please advice
