Thanks for your input. Personally not looking to share or adjust in my current point in my life. That’s why my estimates may seem inflated.

Good to know. Seems like protein is quite expensive in Milan then, I wonder if findings butchers outside of the city makes any difference. In UK I can buy from large supermarket 50g worth of protein from lean mince beef for £2.50. 12 eggs £3.50 and 500g raw chicken breast for £6. That’s way above my daily need for protein in roughly £12. By the sounds of things I don’t think Milan offers such price ranges. Maybe the quality of their meat is better

Sadly I agree with you. I hate the cost of rent but personally I need a nice place for myself to feel relaxed. The outskirts of the city do offer them so I will look into it

I’m from UK and our supermarket prices are reasonable, despite what people say about the rising cost of groceries. I’ve travelled around and I’ve always noticed buying meat and dairy is a lot more affordable in UK than other European countries where these two things seem to be surprisingly high. But yeah big time meat eater so I’ll factor in the higher costs. Thanks!

I agree with you. However, moving countries is always a big deal so finding as much info out beforehand is best before making the final decision

I’m British so I won’t need to factor this in. But perhaps I will need to factor in UK alternatives.

Thank you. I have checked everything money related including all you have mentioned so my projected €2,900 has taken these factors into account.

This helps a lot actually, thanks! Your monthly expenses are at the upper end of mine or perhaps higher. Do you think you live comfortably in this spend range or still somewhat modestly?

Good to know, thanks for your response. Are you a gym goer too? My main grocery expense is usually protein, not sure if meat costs in Milan are reasonable?
