    20k per month? After rent? You’ll be living dandy if you can afford to spend that money freely. Many expats living in Chengdu get by on a 1/4 of that, rent included.

    Poor bastards.

    Get a butler. Actually give me 10 thousand a month and I will be your butler.

    After paying 18,000 rmb for rent you will have to live on a pretty strict budget!

    Just kidding. You will be living large in Chengdu with a bankroll like that.

    20k after rent, i think you can afford not only a butler but also a driver if you want.  🙂  I never spent over 12k a month and that include 2000 for rent, 500 for the utilities, eat out every meals (never cook), some shoppings on Taobao for stupid little things, plus a round trip to HK.  well, this may go up a little bit cos the ticket in high season costs more.   anyway, i just started to think if i could spend that much, i will go for holiday at least once a month too.

    Dude screw Chengdu.  If your on a years vacation head down to Hainan learn to surf no winter to suffer.  Also you could give your parents back 10,000 Yuan a month.  You won’t need 20,000 if your just relaxing everyday.

    Just a friendly reminder, 20k/month may not be considered a big sum of $$ back in where you are from or mine (ie. Hong Kong), it is however quite a lot here to many locals.  say many of them are still making 2k or so/month… this gives you an idea.   Take care well and play low profile.  :p
