Yeah...if you eat and drink out every day or if you smoke one pack of cigarettes per day maybe you'll somehow manage to spend that much. No way! In my case I manage just fine with about 3000kr per month (rent excluded) maybe even less and I eat 3 meals/day, get some occasional snacks, pay a 200kr membership fee for a sports club and manage to go out once or twice a week where I usually buy couple of beers or a coffee. I know this also highly depends on how often you hit the town and how much you eat, what other habits you have but after living in this city for two years I strongly believe that one has to be extremely careless with his/her money in order to spend that much.
