How much money will I need to live in Seoul, South Korea ?
I’m currently 17 and have been saving up money since I was about 10 to go to South Korea once I turn 20.
I made about 8000 (canadian) dollars by family ( Huuge family timeline. I get a money from each division in my family each birthday. No, i’m not spoiled ; I’ve just been saving up for so many years, no my family isn’t rich either. )
I’ve also made about 1000 dollars since last year from doing other things such as odd jobs, working at stores, etc.
-9000 Canadian dollars then.
q1 Part 1. Can someone convert 9000 canadian dollars into won currency please ?
q1 Part 2. ^Would I be considered ”poor”^ with that amount of Won ?
q2. How much won is usually needed to live in Seoul, South Korea ?
Sorry if this was long. English is not my main language. I struggle at it 
Thanks so much 
!
Edit to second question I asked ~ Per year .
Well, this question is quite hard to answer, because you need to state how much money you’re willing to rent a house with, how much money you want to spend on shopping, etc.
Q1) According to Yahoo finance C$9000 it would be: ₩10100789
and according to XE finance it would be: ₩10,142,244… ahhh, let’s say they’re ‘approximately’ those amounts >.<
These are amounts of won (원) you’ll see on notes:
₩50,000 = C$45.55
₩10,000 = C$8.90
₩5,000 = C$4.45
₩1,000 = C 89c
Q2) Erm.. well it depends how rich or poor the person who’s judging you is? You’ll have to find a job there to earn money to keep up with your rent and your shopping (groceries, or clothes shopping if you need it).. unless you’re staying with family.
Q3) How long can a piece of rope go? xD
Really, it all depends how wisely you spend your money.. and how cheap your rent can get. It would be fine to have that amount of money and living with your family (if you have family there). You should keep saving up if you don’t have any family or friends you can stay with, or you might struggle a little with your rent and what not. I’m guessing you’re a girl too, so you have those shopping habits! xP
By the way, your English was fine and I could understand it. You speak/know better English than some of my family and friends even though English was their first language, and they’ve been speaking it their whole life.
Edit: I found a site you can have a look on to find approximate prices was stuff like electricity, internet, etc.

P.S, you can find much cheaper rents than the houses and apartments on that site. Most of those houses/apartments are like 3 bedroom 2 bathroom houses/apartments x]]]]]. Awkward sentence.
Hey, living in another country is a big transaction. The amount of money you have will not be enough to live on, not even close. It also depends on the area you want to live in and the chances that you find a good job there. 9000 Canadian dollars might support you for 3 or 4 months due to moving into a place and getting everything you need. I am from Seoul.
q1: You’d have around 10 million won.
q1: You would definitely not be considered poor because that is quite a lot of money to live off for a couple of months.
q2: I know that teachers earn around 2+ million won (around 2,000+ dollars monthly). So you’d probably want to make around 24 million won a year (24,000 yearly).
