I know there are loads of data sheets on various locations giving really good information, but I thought the forum would benefit from having a thread that gives members a quick summary on living costs on as many places as possible.

The purpose of the thread is to keep the cost information simple and uniform to allow members to make informed decisions, should they wish to travel there (all costs in US$)

I am sure members have often thought, "I would really like to travel to X for Y months, but am not really sure if my $Z budget is enough"

To keep it simple, I propose that only monthly accommodation and food costs are listed. From these 2 costs, members will be able to make an informed decision as to what the basic cost of living will be.

1. Monthly Rental Cost : $ (based on a studio / 1 bed apartment ideally within 15 minutes walk of the centre or in a location with easy access to the centre. Excludes utilities unless stated otherwise)

2. Monthly Food costs : $ (based on supermarket costs for 1 person for a month, but does not include eating out)

The final bit of information that members should add, is whether they think someone should come to the location for the women, either a straight "Yes" or "No"

Clearly this is very subjective, but it will again help people make informed choices and perhaps show differences of opinion between members on the same location.

Example of info for my town:

England
Chesterfield (Town)
$700 (excludes utilities)
$200
No

Comments (optional) : First world town, with good infrastructure and employment, situated between the cities of Sheffield and Nottingham. In my opinion there is nothing here for a single man looking for an attractive women. Full of plenty of chubby/fat women, with high bitch shields.....

If members want more specific detailed information on certain places they can then go down the PM route.

I realise the above leaves out things like utilities and player lifestyle, but it's purpose is to be a quick and easy guide to help members who may be thinking of going somewhere new.

Remember this could either be a place where you currently live or a place which you have detailed knowledge on.

Sorry, but it needn't be. Expatistan.com offers a systematic alternative to what you're proposing.

EDIT - I misread - apologies. My point remains, however; I don't see the advantage of this system over a more comprehensive and systematic one, like that which Expatisan offers (coupled with a datasheet for that city).

Ethan, the subjective comment relates to whether people think it is a good place to go to in terms of the women, not in terms of the costs.

I am trying to provide typical living costs based on what members have experienced and then to provide a subjective opinion of whether it's a good place for women.

It's a basic guide, but with enough data it could be a useful planning tool for members considering various locations.
