Hmmm reading your responses about the young lady who has asked whether $1,900 would be enough or not, I am getting worried about the offer I received.

I am offered €2,050/mo. after all taxes in Madrid. I suppose there's no way I am going to be able to afford living alone comfortably in a 1 bedroom apartment after being used to earning $4,850/mo. in Washington DC which appears to be cheaper than Madrid.

I am 24, male, drink a lot of wine ( ), social smoker...

Also, does anyone have an idea how much pool memberships cost?
