Cost of living for single new immigrant in GTA

[SS66]

Sure.

I lived in a house with other 3 guys, so my rent was 525 and I had everything, cable, internet, room in the fridge and my own room.

Then 90 bucks in the bus pass.

And 200 bucks for groceries.... this was kind of tricky but stick to rice and chicken... rice and fish.... rice and tuna.... rice and sardines.... keep it as low as possible.

100-150 for incidentals


That's about it... I even managed to go for some beers once a month with my friends...

I lived like that for 2 years. Now I can't manage to keep it under 3.5K hehehe

Don't live alone... renting your own place is costly. Also you are responsible of paying bills... which add to your monthly budget.

IMO if you are in "saving" mode, living alone is a great way to throw your money away.

I get it. Thank you very much for the advice.
