It seems that I have many things to think about. Honestly, I believe I have focused so much of my attention on making my move abroad that I neglected to properly make improvements on my planning of my life when living abroad. My impression was 1,500 a month would be ideal. But, after reading your comments I can see your valuable points. My only experiences have been dating filipinas. As you all know it is very inexpensive going on many dates in the phils. But, in eastern Europe or other asian countries this will ad up quickly. More things to consider.
Congratulations on your move I enjoyed this write up. As for EE $1500 a month will give you a decent lifestyle in countries like Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia. However the question you might need to ask yourself is what kind of girls do you want to date.
I just spent the weekend in Odessa and befriended two great Belarussian guys and their two hot girlfriends. While one of the girls was a solid 8 the other one was within the top 5% of girls within the Ibiza Beach Club. Whoever has been to Ibiza Club in Odessa in August and July knows how hot the girls in this club are. So you can imagine this girl was a 9 for me she was even a 10. Anyways while the two chicks were drinking champagne we discussed how EE guys spend money on their girlfriends.
And the guy with the hot girlfriend came up with a very good comparison. He said that you need to decide for yourself if you want to drive a BMW or a Ferrari. If you want to drive/date the BMW you will have more than enough money with $1500 but if you want a LTR or even mini relationship with a Ferrari or Lamborghini you need to be willing to spend some money.
Vronski already made a few good points which are including winter holidays in Thailand, 2-3 weekend trips to western Europe. Regular visits to high end restaurants etc.
But if you are happy to be with 7s there is no point that you will need to spend much more than $1500 a month in countries like Ukraine or the Balkans.
