Answer
For two adults, a comfortable but not luxurious budget in Uruguay is typically estimated at $2,400 to $2,700 a month. For a two-person household, $2,400–$2,500 is cited as the very lowest benchmark, while for one person, a stable monthly income of at least $1,500 is cited.
This amount is not a universal standard: rent, the neighborhood, eating habits, healthcare, transport, and how often you spend money outside the home have the greatest effect on the total. Therefore, a couple's budget cannot simply be divided in half for one person: some costs, such as housing and internet, do not decrease proportionally.
A practical approach is to first compile your own list of essential expenses, add rent separately, and set aside a reserve for unexpected costs. If income is unstable, a comfortable budget should include not only monthly payments but also an emergency fund for several months of living expenses.
