cost of living

Good day!

I am currently applying as a trainee in Japan to become a certified skilled worker in the food processing industry. I've been told that I will receive 65-80 thousand yen per month for the first year when board and lodging is free and then 120-180 thousand yen on the 2nd and 3rd year but without free lodging anymore. My question is : will I be able to survive on the aforementioned allowances considering I still have to pay for food and other necessities?

Thank you very much.

Do you know where you'll be staying? It might be kind of tight. I mean 6-8 hundred dollars a month is good with housing free. Better figure out where you're staying and the cost of housing there.

It would depend on your personal spending habits and how much debt you have. If you're frugal and you don't have a six-figure debt from attending TUJ, then you'll be fine.

80000 yen per month, are you sure? utility bills be payed for? even if they were I would not work and live in Japan of that, you will starve,

80,000Y per month spending money?! If UT and rent paid for. Maybe 15000Y food or less if you're smart. X amount on transportation (get a suica card from your job I hope). The rest is yours...are you coming here to save money, or build a resume and have a great experience?
