Salary Reality

16 years ago
Hello - Just got an offer that is hard to know if the salary is "do-able" in HK. Approx $500,000 HKD Salary - I currently live in a one bed-room walk up apartment in NY - live a comfortable live style - go to the gym not one of those fancy facilities with designer water, take dance classes on occasion, eat out about twice a week. No kids and a partner who I will be supporting. Would like to live in HK Island if possible and save a little bit of money to travel in S.E Asia...let me know the reality of my current existence will be possible in HK.

Thanks in Advance
