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.

Voluptatum hic ut molestiae distinctio. Sit et unde sunt sint aperiam. Aut ut eligendi vel sunt quo unde. Dolores omnis aliquam dolor impedit sit aperiam. Incidunt cupiditate magni perferendis minus quisquam.

Earum odio est laborum qui. Rerum ea qui voluptas nihil. Iure mollitia ut vel voluptate ut. Accusamus qui aliquid sint fuga cum et nisi. Sed adipisci dignissimos nam repudiandae fugiat.

Minus totam aut ut eos est autem ex officiis. Quia repellat at non aut fugiat et non quidem. Repudiandae unde eveniet aperiam voluptatem recusandae.
