Cost of living in stockholm

Hi,

I'm moving to stockholm in June to work, I've already got a one bed apartment sorted out, 3 stops from the central station (I'm in the city). I have no Swedish and am moving with my girlfriend, she doesn't have a job yet and does not speak Swedish either. I was wondering what type of lifestyle both of us could afford on SEK 16700 per month, I know this isn't a lot of cash, but at least this is what we have left after paying for the apartment.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

It depends on your living style. I live in a town outside Stockholm and spend approximately 7000-8000 SEK/month. In Stockholm it might be a bit expensive to leave.
