Food - well it varies from 0 dh to 500 dh... depending on how simple the day is. I could quite feasilby however do:

Food - 0 dh - we have breakfast supplied at work now :)
Transport - 0 dh - I live 100 metres from work
Cigarettes - 3 dh - assuming I smoked half a pack

So that's a 3 dh day. If I didn't smoke it would be nil, but I don't know how long I could keep it up for.

On average I spend about 100 dh a day.

i dont know dudes, probably like 10 dhs

if you really wanna be technical about it then maybe something like 100 dhs per day, if you include petrol, smokes (if you smoke), power, water, internet....etc. Stuff that you do all day

youll be suprised how much you spend if you list them down on paper

Dhs.100/day is quite fine, but if you love to roam around i think Dhs.100/- is not enough... :(

I thought room sharing is like AED1k/- per person in a month. I was suprised to know yours. hmm..maybe you're only paying 1/4 of the rent, aren't you?

Thank God, i dont need to worry all those monthly bills & rents, company is taking care of it now. :D

As a student you'll probably be ok with about 100 AED a day. Think about sharing taxi's with friends and you'll save. Even if you order out for both meals and go for fast food that will be about 50 AED a day. If you're smoking a pack a day (i hope you don't!) you'll spend another 5-6 AED a day. I am assuming your parents will help with utilities and rent.

Actually, think about grocery shopping with your room mates, share costs of a pizza or whatever else. Should be okay actually. But make sure you have some emergency money stashed away somewhere, for that evening at the club or trip to the hospital for the broken arm or that hot date!
