I think it will depend on what kind of lifestyle you want here, what nationality are you? If you are western I would say you won't save much out of 20k, you would want a decent apartment / villa, good social life, weekends away. If you are the sort of person who is just coming here to work work work, then you will be able to save more. It will be trial and error until you find the balance that suits you and the lifestyle you want to have

I see a lot of people have already written a reasonable answer, but keep in mind following:
- about flat or car rental - depends who negotiates. If a European person or a westerner in general - forget it to find those rates. For them everything is double
- as many have mentioned - depends on lifestyle. For example one of the most difficult issues for women here - to find a normal hairdresser, beautician, etc. usually too expensive and very low quality / level of hygiene. If you go to a normal place - prices are ridiculous for what you get
