It would be great if someone could write something some sort of a living expenses plan on Osaka or Kobe!

What type of life can a single person live (who is happy to share an apartment, provided they have their own room) for ¥200,000 a month.

Why live in a place that costs $200,000 if most people are only making around $260,000? There are plenty of apartment in Osaka that I found in my last search going for around $100,000. It doesn't make any sense to throw away most of your income on rent and have practically nothing left after taxes for utilities, food, fun and emergencies.

Hi thank you for answering. What I mean was how I could budget my life there on that much (not spend all of it on rent! :)) I was hoping to maybe spend more like 70000 on rent. Would that be feasible?
