100 Euros a week pocket money should be fine
2 :
รข‚¬100 per week will buy you a daily paper. coffee and a pastry in the morning and a beer in the evening. It may also be enough for a club ticket and something stronger once a week of fortnight. The other thing is how far is your daily commute? Can you afford a bike to start?
3 :
Small beer maybe 2 Euros, large beer maybe 4 Euros. Grass and hash at coffee shop prices (Amsterdam) maybe 5 Euros per gram.
4 :
Is this 100 euros just for pocket money? Should be adequate if you're not planning on doing anything outrageous.
5 :
That's 400 euros a month just pocket money. I have to eat from that amount too, so if you're a little sensible in how to spend it, you will do just fine.
6 :
After paying all my bills I can spend 70 euros a week. With that money I have to buy my food, clothes, presents, buss tickets etc. It's not much but I can survive with that. I can't afford to go to the pub or theater all the time. So I think that if you can spend 100 euros a week and you don't have to pay any bills or food with that money it's possible to survive of that. Going out or traveling is expensive, but doesn't everyone has to make choices how much they want to spend on those things.

damn, you got it made, if you don't have to pay for your stay or for food what else is there you would need????? you can live it up on the weekend with that money, get drunk and party hahahahahaha or if you not the party animal, take a trip to the museum and have fun, 100 a week gets you pretty far, i wish i had that much to spend enjoy your stay
8 :
Public transport is kind of expensive, but if you don't have to pay rent or food and don't party too much, you should be okay.
9 :
I would advise you to ask for an additional compensation for transportation to your job than you'll be more than fine with 100 euro's a week, but don't expect to eat daily in a restaurant.
10 :
Don't worry that's enough.
11 :
With or without hookers and drugs?
12 :
if you don't have to pay for a place to stay and food its possible to "survive" on 100 a week, it all depends on what you want to do. You won't be able to get drunk of it daily (in a bar) but, you ll be able to do some fun things..

I don't think so unless you sleep outside and live off the garbages pales . Europe is very expensive . One cup of coffee is 2.50 eu . So figure out its $3.80 Cdn . or $3.00 Us . I was there in 2004 .Good luck
