Restaurants (once out in a week, Non Drinker/Non-Smoker): if normal restaurants. 500

Rent: 2BR APRT 6000 / Villa 13000

Electricity/Water Bills: 400

TV/Internet/Telephone: 1000

Fuel: 250

Health and Other Insurance: 300 per person

Car cost : Honda Civic/Toyota Camry ??? about 1700 for new? But good companies might provide a car.

Add Leave Travel expense: Flight, etc

if you want, you can save 10 to 15K. But if you want to live a 'life' then savings could even be zero ! All up to your life style.

water and electricity during the summer can go up due to heavy usage.

clothing...depends upon what you prefer, branded,....non branded stuff.

complete groceries per week can go upto 800. seriously.......dont ask questions such as cost of toilet paper and soap.

you say a baby is on the way, add another 1000-2000 for the baby expenses during the month.

health insurance should be provided by the company, if you take it seperately then add another 350 for each member of the family.

again, if you do a proper search here, you will find out easily the range of a good salary and how well you can live.
