Monthly bus/tram ticket = 45, rounded up to 50, because you always round up when doing expenses, never down. Good move there, the wienerlinien website says that from the 1st June the prices are going up to 49.50euro :)
With regards to the unknown sundries, what I try to do is work backwards - rather than saying 'this is how much I want to spend' and hoping I'll have the money for it, I figure out 'after fixed expenses, this is how much I have left over for food/sundries', and then I can work out how much, on average, I can afford to spend each day.
So first work out whether or not you want to save any of it, or whether you want to spend the whole 2.1k. Let's assume you have no savings. Your leftover money is (2500-1650) = 850. Divide that by 90 days (is that approximately how long you'll be living alone?) and you have approximately 9euros per day. This will be skewed, of course, because you're more likely to spend money on the weekends. But you know that if you've spent a lot less than 9euros per day in the week, you can treat yourself on the weekend :)
You'll have enough money, but you will have to be careful. But above all, MAKE SURE YOU EAT MORE THAN JUST LUNCH. I noticed that you only listed groceries for the weekend!! You better not be banking on skipping breakfast and dinner, m'dear, or you'll feel my wrath when I come home.
