During the time spent searching for employment how much money would I need on average per month or week?
Answer We recommend having about $1500 – 2000 per month for accommodation depending on size location etc. You can get away with about $100 / 150 per week for food. You can survive quite easily on $350 – 450 per week if you work smartly. Also, consider that you should get yourself a cheap run around car rather than hire a car. You can get a really good second hand Japanese car for about $7000 or you can get a perfectly good cheap runaround for around $3000 (one our recent arrivals got himself a bargain for $1000 a few months ago).
