A few questions from a guy moving to Bermuda soon

3 years ago
Dear all,
Thank you first of all for reading this detailed list of questions. I reall, appreciate your time.
If anyone wants to proceed with communication, we can exchange contact info through PM and get in touch for sure.
As a starter - I am supposed to move to Hamilton.
My questions are:
1. Is 75k a year enough to live or to struggle, since I read some posts and with all state's obligations I should stay with somewhat around 5100 a month?
2. Is it hard to be a smoker and occasional drinker, is it really expensive to buy cigarettes?
3. Are crime rates really high, because someone mentioned gangs?
4. I was thinking of biking to work. Is it hard or convenient to get a bike and go to work and back home with it on a daily basis, what is the weather like throughout the year?
5. My girl has a PhD in linguistics and would like to join me on Bermuda. Are there any expat policies like in Germany (flat must have 2 rooms for 2 people to be allowed to live in it)?
6. Are there job-searching agencies she can address to, or if I can do it for her and make it easier for her to relocate?
7. What is lifestyle like, meaning - night life, finding new friends etc.?
8. Is sports a thing over there, because I love to watch basketball and play occasionally, even other sports ofc?

Thank you all for responses!!! (:
