I'll give you BASIC & low cost end of budgeting your monthly outgoings & then YOU work out whether you could survive.
Furnished 1 b/r Apartment RD $10,000 per month MINIMUM 1 months Dep & 1 month in advance = RD $20,000. Food shoping (eating IN rather than out, it is a lot cheaper) RD $10,000 per month. Transportation around town RD $3,000 p.m. Basic health insurance, RD $500 p.m. Scams & other unexpected outgoings in first 2 months, RD $8,000!!
Total outgoings in first 2 months (without nights out or any other fun/entertainment) will be in excess of RD $55,000 - Net loss RD $15,000.
Sorry to disappoint you but you had better save up to RD $100,000 to give yourself a fighting chance & hope to get a job that pays RD $20,000 per month within the first 3 months of being here!! NOT a optimistic outlook though as jobs are hard to find these days even at RD $10,000 p.m.!
Good luck to you - Grahame.
