This is a great thread.
I’m a new expat to HK and to see peoples’ budget really helps.
Projection of budget after 2 months in HK for my wife and I (no kids, late 20s):
Rent: 25,000
Food+Entertainment, etc: 15,000 (I hope this figure is closer to 10,000)
MPF: 1,500 (yes to me this is an expense/investment as it decreases my monthly net income)
Utilities: 2,000 (estimated higher to give myself some room)
Cell x2: 600
Commute x2: 1,000
Home internet: 200
~45,300
*travel not included.
The food/entertainment is on the higher side for my personal liking, still trying to find/figure out decent restaurants without spending too much.
