I saw this and thought, 10,000 thats a lot of money to spend in one year!
Here are my monthly expenses that don't change each month.
1) Internet 100yuan = 16.40 at present exchange rate
That's it.
Free apartment, free phone (I actually make money as they give me more than I spend on my cheap Nokia brick), no car, no car insurance, I get cheapo health insurance from the university.
So I spend maybe two hundred dollars a month, total. But thats from spending money in previous years to buy the things that I do with my free time: free weights, squat rack, bench, board games, basketball, bball shoes, running shoes, lifting shoes. But those are all old now and have already been used so many times their price/use ratio is very low.
I dont drink, dont smoke, cook all my own meals (mostly rice cooker and then some veggies stir fried, eggs and veggies for breakfast).
