I posted this in another thread, but I'll put it here so that it's not so obscure,

Wanting to get an idea of the approx annual costs of living in in Vero beach while attending FSI. The last quotation for accomodation I got (2007) for their campus accomodation ranged from: (low)$18/night to (high)$25/night.

Extrapolated: for 1 month (low) $540
Year (low) $6480

: 1 month (high) $750
: year (high) $9000

I understand on campus accom costs more than in the surrounding areas just about anywhere you go.

They say food should set you back $120-130 a week:
: 1 month (based on $125) $500
: year $6000
I'm the kinda person that buys groceries and prefers to cook most of the time for maybe two meals /day (breakfast/dinner)
What sort of lifestyle do you find yourself as a hardworking student/instructor at FSI?

so for a year living in Vero should set you back between $12500-$15000.- not icluding a conservative beer fund

/ travel home for a couple of days maybe once a year
Those figures seem pretty high, or are they realistic based on your experiences what other overheads can one expect outside the scope of flight training? Does the pay as an instructor (flying to the wire most of the time) allow an almost comfortable lifestyle or should I say what approx percentage of your income goes to living? Are you able to save money-(the large beer fund

) maybe?
