Sure locals can live on less..but unless you're a backpacker and camping out...10K rmb a month is not going to cut it.

Yes I'm paying too much for a haircut, but I like that place's 45-min massage. :) I actually spend less than 5000 RMB/mo. The truth is (and I dunno if I should post this info here but whatever) 5000 RMB/mo is how much I make, so this post is sort of a lame inside joke for those who know me. All the costs I listed are accurate though, except I don't go out that much. Eat out twice a week on workdays? Bar or club every weekend? Totally not me. My woman says I'm a "宅男". I have short hair.

Cheers to your lifestyle. Whatever makes you happy is the most important--at least you're not troubling other people financially, or you're not loaded with debt beyond repair. Oh and I just had to say this: I love your post ender! It cracked me up a lot! Nice post!

How long is your hair? It should be 10-15 RMB with shampoo and cut. Yangrouchuan x2: 4 RMB :) Haircut: 40 RMB/mo (Upper-body massage included!)
