It certainly depends on the lifestyle that you live and want...but I think it certainly is possible. Factors like having a car, how many in your family, special diet and do you like going to restaurants etc can affect your budget. I am also assuming that your 拢1K/monthly included renting too.

Then yes, I think it is possible. Of course location will always dictate how much you pay too so you will need to decide on what area(s) you want to live . Don't forget health insurance too.
