A few questions from a guy moving to Bermuda soon

3 years ago
Dear all,
First of all, thank you for reading this post. I have a ton of questions, but I will ask a few, we can exchange contact info in PM and proceed if anyone is willing to ofc.

Back to the topic - I am offered a job as a software support tech, and was given 75k a year plus bonuses, no retirement plan and some deductions included into the price.
My questions are:
1. Will this be enough or it will be a struggle? I calculated out that 5.83333 a month, minus all the obligations towards the country could leave me with somewhat around 5100, will that be a struggle on a monthly basis or not?
2. What is it to be a smoker in Bermuda, are cigarettes really expensive?
3. How expensive is it to go a dental office, because fortunately I am pretty much a very healthy person with no history of genetical diseases and problems?
4. What is the lifestyle like, is it hard to get around, meet new people or have a night life (at a bare minimum at least, meaning - I don't want to spend my life going to work and home and that's it)?
5. My girlfriend wants to join me, she has a PhD in linguistics and I want to put my blood, sweat and tears into bringing her over. Any ideas who to reach out to for a job position, or an agency, because she is willing to accept as many offers as possible just to get closer to me?
6. How hard is to get a bike and go from my job to my house regarding a distance of let's say - 10 kilometers? How smart of an idea is that, is weather really harsh or 95% of the time being sunny and warm?


And yes, the main thing missing in these questions that I wanted to leave for the very bottom of the topic - I should reside in Hamilton.
Sorry for typos and misspellings, and thank you all kindly in advance for responses and reading all of this! (:
