Living in Kathmandu is really weird, one day you could be full of cash and another day you have a hole in your pocket. You really need a money management strategy to have a peace of mind. On a typical day, I see people spend around 250 Rs and that too on daily items like food, transportation, telephone etc. A decent mid day meal costs anywhere from 100 Rs to above. Add a cup of coffee in a good restaurant and that jumps to 150. And an occasional friday night out for some quality time at bars would mean I have the shelve out 500 to 1000 rs.
