RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE:
1. Money can't buy happiness but it’s more comfortable to cry in a BMW than on a bicycle.
2. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.
3. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk

1) Luwan
2) 403 RMB per day (about 12,200 per month) excluding rent

Because really, you don't pay the things you buy in a 30 days spread. It is alot easier to give monthly expenses. The question should be revise to either monthly or average daily.... what a slow day.

Ayi, utilities, phone bills are charged monthly so it's easier for me to track my expenses monthly.
