How long is a piece of string?, almost impossible to answer as there are far too many variables. Lifestyle likes dislikes, standard of living, drinker/non drinker and so on etc.

 

Could be as low as 40k a month or 65k (the Govt figure for Visa's).

The other main issue is the unpredictability, you never know from year to year which way the Visa/Insurance ball is going to bounce, constantly shifting sand and it really is just impossible to predict/forecast. (IMHO)

I have friends living quite comfortably on 40 to 50 k per month.
