its enough to survive, but not enough to enjoy. also depends your current situation. if u stay with parents u no need to pay rent, bills, etc, heck i bet internet bills also your parents pay, right? just pay maybe rm200 to parents. then, take public transport if its convenient to your workplace to save on toll and petrol.
eat simple things enough, once a while u can reward yourself with nice meal though
cut down on entertainments like movies, download movies jer la

and there are always better options for mobile broadband. Eg: if you not using much, why not get Digi 1GB, its only RM18 per month!
there are so many ways you can save, look around for groupon meals promo as well
Yeah that's what I do also. Go lurk around Groupon to find some good deals.

Btw, about the Digi 1gb, you sure is only RM18? Confirm? What's the T&C?

haha..no... they need experience. I'm lucky cuz back in uni I'm the kind that is fascinated with machinery and stuff, although not in my course but i learned on my own. so i can answer their questions during interview.
do you mind putting down your breakdown? some alteration can be done. with GST and increasing price of stuff, us the youngsters really need to watch our spending.
like Dr M said la: RM4k is not considered rich nowadays woo

I considered lucky because I am a local and I am currently still staying with my family.
Roughly RM2100 after EPF and Socso
Parent - RM500
Petrol - RM200 (Subsidized by my sister)

TnG - RM100
Saving - RM600
Installments - RM150
Phone Bill - RM100 (Subsidize by company)
GF - RM400 (Sometimes overbudget also)

Got some left overs for some misc like daily meal outside, occasional clothes buying..
I force myself to do savings because I've been through times without a single cent to use. There's one time I spent RM4.80 per day for 2 week for transportation. Bring food from home.

I still haven't count my insurance and car loan, which is also bared by my sister. Again, I am very lucky actually.
