Rent + Utilities + Internet: 250

Groceries: 150

Ultimate Frisbee, Tennis, Cycling, Outdoor Gym: 0 (maybe 15 for equipment amortization)

Healthcare: 0 (well europe)

Travel + Fun: 150

No kids and GF also works, but most people even with kids live very well with a 10 to 20K net income a year here.

I have over 200k income but I just would not know how to spend more without just throwing money out of the window as most stuff is basically free. But then this is also not US but a European City

Is there a zero missing on the end of that? :)

Actually, that'd be quite high depending on where in Europe you are, but then 250 seems absurdly low.

Curious to hear which city you're in.

My GF owns her apartment and 500 EUR would be a normal price for all that so I pay her half of that as we share the apartment.
