It varies a great deal... some people have to have nice things (big apartment, good food, partying, a car, etc) while others can get by on much, much less. What is the cost of living where you are? I'm sure it too varies depending upon the person's tastes.

That said, IMO you can get by in Japan for around $1200-1500 USD per month, maybe less if you share an apartment and eat cheaply, or more if you want nicer things. But that amount will get you a good, comfortable lifestyle without getting excessive.
