- Please tell me, are my figures above realistic?

(For your reference, I am a single guy, living on my own. I will be out at work 6/7 days a week (7.30-5.30), so I will only be home in the evenings. I will own a budget car that is paid for. I will be able to eat breakfast / lunch and dinner at my workplace. I will socialise a couple of evenings a week, involving a reasonable meal in restaurant and a few beers. I am looking to rent a 1 or, if possible, 2 bedroom apartment in the Punta Cana / Bavaro area with the following facilities: fully furnished, all appliances (washing machine, refrigerator, oven etc), air conditioning, fast internet, telephone, cable TV, shower, burglar alarm, inverter / generator and parking - in a secure & safe complex / neighbourhood).
Thanks very much.
