How much can a SA pocket, assuming the following conditions:

If...

-I don't have to pay rent -I live a fairly conservative lifestyle -The only time I would go out is if it was a social thing with co-workers... I'm a relatively reserved person

The forum says ~$4k, but that's for summers who are paying rent and going out 3-4 times a week.

I'm considering saving the money from the SA stint and (if its enough) go live in Asia for a bit (I have a few places in mind where COL is maybe $20 a day at most).

Thanks.
