It all depends on which company you go with.

I went with NOVA and well...

We all know how that's turning out *sigh*

My official wage was something like 250,000¥/month
take off taxes, unemployment insurance (HA!), rent, utilities, and a phone bill and I was looking at 160,000¥ take off food about 140,000¥

I was able to save about 1000$/month and have 400$ as fun money every month, (However that's so easy to spend as one night at Karaoke can be between 50-100$, go out every weekend and your moneis gone)

But then it cost me 1000$ to get here (had to pay that back) 2000$ to go home for x-mas and when NOVA went belly up about 2000$ just living while waiting to find out what the hell was going on.

Average hourly is 20-30$ as an english teacher, average rent is about 700-1000$ depending on location, size and roommates, average food cost is 100-200$/month if you cook (double if you don't) average phone bill is 50-100$ same for any other utilities (water, gas, electricity, internet) Average taxes is effin redonkulos.
