I have used around MYR500 (from 27th Sept - 7th Oct)
Seoul Metro - 35,000
Bus ticket - 18,000
Food - 50,000
Accommodation - 45,000 (3 nights)
Clothes - 15,000
Tour Admission - 4,000
I visited Hye Won on 28th Sept, stayed at Happy Guesthouse for 3 nights until 30th Sept for 45,000 won. Then I stayed with Chi Won (Couch Surfing - free) and now stayed with Joy Farm (practically free but with a yearly fee of WWOOF of 50,000 won).
18,000 won used for ticket from Seoul to Chunyang.
Food is somewhat differs from individual but I try to find Halal food which is more expensive compared to normal food. So, basically it depends on your 'desire' hahaha..
Clothes - I bought a 15,000 won sweater from a warehouse sale in Myeongdong which was cheap. Later, got to splurge to buy a better winter jacket.
Tour admission - Changdeok palace - 3,000 won, Deoksu palace - 1,000 won, Chi Won's mother paid for me a 12,000 admission for Yongin's folk village. She is really a kind mother.
There is a method on how to save on your Seoul Metro expenses but I will tell in another post.
My budget so far..

It is possible and I have done it.
However, your plan and budget will determine where you will go. I can't say for sure exactly how much, so you have to show me what you gonna do for the 3 months you gonna be there.
Email me your plan/itinerary at zemoneko@gmail.com
I will give you my rough estimation.
I have a question about T-Money. Is there a minimum amount you have to load or charge?
Thanks.
The T-Money card is priced at 3,000 won and the reload value is up to you.
For a single ride of subway train or city bus of less than 10km journey you should have at least 1,000 won in the card.
Thinking about whether to purchase T-Money on next trip to Seoul. Saw some (the basic no frills card) for 2,500won but didn't buy because it was a short trip.
Reloads can be done at the machines in subway stations right?
You should get one. The T-Money card will make your travel a lot easier. ^^
You could reload the T-Money at any subway station and also convenience stores.
My pleasure ^^
