How expensive is living in a major city in your country?

Please tell me about your country

>>212756403 (OP)
everyone owns his house here so it's really incomparable to countries where everyone rents

i live in Warsaw, I own my apartment so I only pay bills (around 250eur/month) + around 300 eur for food

>>212756403 (OP)
How big is a Studium

>>212757220
It's the total monthly cost (so including food, utilities and rest) for a student assuming they live in a shared appartment

>>212757281
I guess Milan is up there at Frankfurt/Berlin level

>>212757540
After tax it is only 1600 € and that is only for full time work.
The original pic is also the bare minimum to stay alive.

>>212757745
Whats the median salary in Milan?

>>212758305
Lower than Frankfurt

>>212757852
>i can ONLY afford my own apartment and food in a big city, but not my funko pops!!! hitler save me!!!

>>212758507
>my own apartment
Anon I...

>>212758305
1200/1400

>>212758523
erm sweetie, it's YOUR apartment (for the duration of your rental) it's in Mr.Goldsteins contract...

>>212758546
How does anyone afford to live there?

>>212758546
Post tax?

I pay 700 just for rent
200 for supermarket food
216 tuition
100 or so on transport
250 on going out
100 on books
100 on clothes
I wish it was only 1k a month bros
>>212758558
for 1k i could've had a mortgage instead, but mr shekelstein 1 would never loan me the money. So now I have stuck paying off mr shekelstein 2's mortgage

In London maybe €3280 (£2850)
1100 rent, 150 utilities, 200 groceries, 150 lunches, 400 Freizeit und sonstige Ausgaben, 850 tuition (as much as 4000 if foreign)
(these prices are in gbp)

>>212758609
Living paycheck to paycheck

>>212758616
Yes

>>212756403 (OP)
>germans making minimum wage will still have like 1000 euros left over at the end of the month
holy fuck someone just stick a lethal injection in me

>>212759326
That's absurdly high. How do people sfford this?
>>212760728
But what about people earning less than the median. How do they manage?

>>212756403 (OP)
I live here in Gothenburg and my rent is €551/month (44m2) with utilities, another €200 on food, €50 on alcohol, €25 on snus, €30 on internet and phone and the rest I save.

>>212761999
Living in squalor or not living in the city and commuting for hours every day

>>212760910
There are german cities and counties where earning 3000 € makes you a poorfag.

>>212762205
Sounds horrible

>>212756403 (OP)
Rent is like 650 EUR
Food etc is like 400 EUR
You need 1000+ Euro if you want to live alone

>>212760910
Of course its the largest economy is Europe what did you expect lol? But you can wipe your ass with saving 1000 Euro a month in Germany. That means you would need to work half a year to buy one square meter in a large city

>>212762324
And the commuter trains are expensive and very unreliable, often late or just cancelled. If you go by car finding parking will be difficult and expensive or dangerous

>>212756403 (OP)
so-so

>>212762369
Also you def cannot save 1k EURO in Germany on minimum wage. Minimum wage there is like 1.5k EURO net. Even if you live in some rent subsidized housing you cannot save 1k EUR from that

>>212761999

Most English people just don't go to uni in London. It's much more affordable elsewhere.
But for London there is:
- Full loan for tuition.
- Up to 14k p/a maintenance loan.
- Bank of mum and dad.
- The main London unis have bursaries. (These can go as high as 5k p/a.)
- Work on the side. You can get make more than 30 pounds an hour tutoring. You can get a job during the summer (which lasts around 3 months) and make quite a bit too (this is very common).
- Lots of students in London live with their parents.
The loans mentioned are structured such that you only repay them if you are a high earner later on.
But these are the costs for a richer than average person. People with less live less centrally and get the tube or cycle. Also don't need to go out so often and can save on food.

>>212756403 (OP)
I get €1600/month on my permabux and I spend between €1300-€1400 at most and that includes everything from my rent to food.

>>212756403 (OP)
when did berlin become so expensive?

>>212760910
bro poland has exceptionally low cost of living compared to the salaries
you don't suffer

>>212762167
who owns the skyscraper?

>>212762369
>Food etc is like 400 EUR
how do you spend that much on food?

>>212756403 (OP)
Well im a poorfag retard that only makes about 2300 a month after tax/health insurance is deducted so I can't live alone in any city sadly.

>>212764959
Balder, Erik Selins Co and Doxa. Three of the major landlord mega-corpos in Sweden. They are the ones who own the building and sell/rent the apartments.
It's the tallest building in all of the Nordic countries.
The cheapest apartment in the building is a 1 room apartment near the bottom floor and it cost €180 000. Those up and above floor 50 are €1million+

>>212765417
why were they allowed to disrupt the landscape?

>>212765140
We have higher grocery prices than Germany I'm not even kidding.
Local currency is very weak, 400 EUR a month is like 13 EUR a day, that is nothing. A single Kinder chocolate is almost an Euro here, a 2L cola is like 1.75 EUR, you dont need to buy these on a daily basis ofc but you buy a bread, cheese, something to put on it, a milk, a chocolate or something, it ramps up super easily it is brutal

>>212765536
Money.
Doesn't fit the city at all but nobody in the government cared.

>>212765589
I bought a gyro plate today for example because I did not want to cook and it was 10 EUR. You go out on a friday night, drink 2-3 beers, buy some food and you are easily at 25 EUR and you did not even go clubbing or anything that requires an entry ticket. This country is brutally expensive now for the local salaries

>>212765660
Even that Soba instant noodle costs 1.75 Euro at Aldi nowadays, 2 EUR+ at gas stations. 10 years ago you could just go to a gas station at midnight and buy like two of those (a pack is only 400 kcal) for cheap. Nowadays you cant even do that shit anymore it is unreal how fucked the situation is

>>212765536
Not him but we already had three towers in the city (Gothia Towers) the city leaders said "We will never build anything taller" because people complained already back then.
Then they changed their mind and said "Gothia Towers will get a fourth sibling". People were angry.
THEN they changed it again and built Karlatornet all by itself away from them, making it even worse.

It would have kinda fit in next to these. But they couldn't even do that..

>>212756403 (OP)
I spend 1300 euros a month, and I own an apartment with no loan for it. I do have a 300 euro a month loan for the car. I'm not exactly a big money saver, though.

>>212765417
Does not really look that bad it just look out of place in the environment

I live in Sheffield and pay £860 a month for a mortgage on a 100 square meter house with a drive way and a back garden. Feel crippled but at least I'm building equity I suppose.

>>212765589
How do voters of the ruling party support and justify this?

>>212756403 (OP)
sure if you want a place in the middle of downtown and literally nobody can afford that anywhere
in the suburbs rent is relatively cheap and affordable

>>212765589
>>212765660
>>212765762
Deserved for you pro putin scum, i hope your economy collapses

>>212770398
wtf i thought poland and hungary were friends

>>212770670
the average person here cares about these gypsies as much as italians care about bhutan

>>212770811
are you going to pull out of visegrad too?

>>212770938
Visegrad is irrelevant, this is like asking us if we are going to pull out of CBSS. It's another meaningless org that doesn't accomplish anything

>>212756403 (OP)
>most of these cities are cheaper than Athens

kek, it really is over
