That's pretty good money for S.A. especially with medical aid (health insurance) but you need to ask what plan they will give you. Some are just hospital plans that only cover the hospital & surgeons cost and not dentist and GP costs, X-rays etc. You should live quite comfortably.Try and get accommodation in "Sandton"

thx Western :-) I've never been there, so figures do not mean anything to me... I do not expect a lot from a life, but it`s always good, if possible, to make better choice.

This is a decent salary for a single person. If your monthly salary is R33,000 you will take home about R26,000 to live on. For a single person, you can easily rent a nice 2 bedroom place for around R5-7000 a month in a good area. A decent car can cost you another R4-6000 a month depending on the choice of car, food maybe R1500 a month. Fuel will depend on how far you drive to work each day, but work on at least R1500 a month for Joburg. The price is around R14 per litre. Clothing will depend on how you dress. A pair of jeans will cost between R120 (Mr Price) to R700 (Edgars) or more at a top brand shop. Yes you will be quite comfortable as a single person on this package.
