 | Re: Reasonable living expense in Hong Kong Your scenario is earn HKD 16000 / month. (USD 2060) and save HKD 3800 / month. (USD 490) If accommodation is around HKD 2000 / month, then you would have plenty left of the table for spending before setting yourself an easy target of saving only HKD 3800. You should also be able to get return airfare thrown into your package if you stay for 1 year at these rates. Here is a great link on the cost of living in Hong Kong. Takeaway Lunch (lunchbox): HKD 30 Movie ticket: HKD 60 Big Mac Value Meal: HKD 22 Fresh milk 1 litre: HKD 25 Bus: Central to Stanley: HKD 8 Min taxi fare for 2 km or less HKD: 15 General Practitioner: HKD 600 Broadband: HKD 298 / month |

| Re: Reasonable living expense in Hong Kong Part of that will depend on your lifestyle and where in Hong Kong you're living. I've heard life in the New Territories is more reasonable. I can't imagine 16000/mo. going too far in Kowloon or Central. |
