Hello and welcome to my channel! My name is Andrea and I’m so happy you are stopping by here! My husband Jan and I live in Prague, Czech Republic.

I love cooking and preparing, delicious yet cheap dinner ideas, with ingredients you can find almost anywhere! I also do grocery hauls to show you what I buy each week… I know how hard is to get organized in the cooking/eating part of life, so I hope my videos can help you out!

Small correction. The pass for public transport is INCLUDING trains in the territory of Prague (zone zero). :-)
I am really surprised to hear how expensive it is to live there. This was a cool breakdown if the prices and what to expect. 😎
Yes I think people have an idea of how much Czech life costs and it is not that realistic nowadays... Everything has change so much in the last 5 years
Try different city than Prague. Prague its like other EU main cities. For example try Plzeň, Olomouc, Ostrava or Brno. They are slightly cheaper and you can also find good job there. And its maybe better start of living in czech rep.
Vlastimil Zlámal I bet it is!! We are doing just fine! But indeed Prague might be too expensive for the salary! Other cities can be just as cool and more affordable
@@vlastimilzlamal2982 Brno určitě nebude markantně levnější než Praha. A upřímně si myslím, že žádný tyhle velký města nebudou.
@@stepanmejsner6407 slightly =/= significantly
Very good the research. Good information to make decisions and compare 👍
Thank you!!!!
Thanks For this very informative video one of the most well explained
Thank you for watching!!! :D
it is really interesting like somebedy who knows how things are doing in next countries are talking about how expencive is to live in Prague (of course Prague is most expencive in Czech Republick) ..
it just makes me mad to hear that almost everything is cheaper in USA, while salaries are more then double. What a life has to be there...
I do not know why but... me caes super bien!
Just to be clear:
The average pay of 37500 CZK is a value for whole Czech Republic but the costs listed are solely for Prague.
Hence i would like to clarify that average pay in Prague is actually 42 760 CZK.
Also if you pay for public transport on yearly basis it costs only about 300 CZK per month.
Borek Hanzl unfortunately babe according to 5 different sources the average moves between 28K and 40K making it average around 32K. And also if you rely on public transport is about to go to 500 per month so that’s that. If you are making more good for you! ;)
Andrea, zabudli ste povedať, že domy v Českej republike sú postavené z tehál, betónu a nie z drevených trámikov a drevotriesky. Prípadne má aj pivnicu (tie novšie už nie). Takže pochopiteľne je cena vyššia.
nice video keep going
Wonderful video. Very detailed. It will be great and helpful if you have all these numbers in a spreadsheet.
Oh man I had it but I don’t think I do anymore. Would be cool to do an update to it tho
@@ArepasforDinner That will be actually be great! Of course with the spreadsheet though. 😛
I’m Czech living in USA , I like your video , bc shows living is Prague is more expensive than people thinks . I can’t understand my self how apartments I’m Prague could cost so much , I’m living in Chicago and mine house is cheaper than apartment in Prague 🙄
Then you should check my video on the real estate crisis in Prague... I'm 100% with you... I feel people move to Prague cause of the "low cost" but once they are here is like a wakeup call... And now we have much more inflation than what we had when I made the video... Rents went up almost 15% since then... Fruits and veggies 20% water and electricity 10%.. Insane! Oh and salaries stayed the same of course :'(
At least one positive thing about services and prices :D We have so many talented tattoo artist and it's cheeaap. Well, for foreingers :D
Finally a realistic information about wages vs expenses in Prague, there’s a huge misconception that it’s cheap to live in Prague, not anymore! Can’t wait to get my EU passport and leave for another EU country where wages and rent prices are more fairly proportioned
Thanks for watching. I try to keep it soooo real. People have a love/hate relationship with my channel cause of that 😂
Keep it 100!!!
We are a family of 4 (two kids - just turned 2 years old and a 10 month old) and we try to made do with 33-34 000 czk/month including everything - rent, utilities, groceries, gas, car insurance, health insurance for me (I don't work), phones, internet, etc. However, it takes a ton budgeting and planning. Czech Republic is very expensive.
I have lived in 4 EU countries and CZR is unfortunately the most expensive of them all so far.
Wow!! Really??? I can't imagine how you guys make it!.. I guess outside of Prague is more doable in Prague it would be almost impossible... Rent by itself of a 2 bedroom apartment + living and kitchen is around 16K in a panelak... It would be hard
@@ArepasforDinner Oh, I forgot the going out budget but that is not a lot ~1k a month. Since the kids are not restaurant friendly yet and we take mostly only coffee when out and about.
It is not easy but is doable (I have lived with much less in Denmark as a student). And yes the biggest chunk goes for rent. We live in Prague 17 which has good connection by tram to the center and is also close to shopping centers so we don't drive far. I also don't pay for the public transport when I have the kids with me (which is pretty much always).
To be honest, we started managing our spendings a bit better since we limited the eating out (primarily because of the kids) and also my husband takes lunch from home. However, meal planning and grocery shopping only with a list helps to not overspend as well.
it’s a known fact that living as a family is much cheaper than a single person. Not to mention a solid social support for mothers and small children from the Czech government (and you’ve got two kids and from what I understand you’re a citizen, so your health insurance is also being covered by the government). Not to mention that rent prices are lower for locals renting from locals (it’s not a secret they charge more from for rent from foreigners).
You can get a very decent car under 200000czk. Used car are generally better value than new cars here.
Qué piensas sobre conseguir empleo en español o inglés cuándo eres estudiante? Es complicado? Podrías sobrevivir con un salario de estudiante?
El salario mínimo son 100ck/hora, con un trabajo a tiempo parcial podrías hacer unos 10.000 antes de impuestos. Al ser estudiante todo salario que no supere los 10k está exento de pagar impuestos. Una habitación en un piso compartido son como 8.000ck pero puedes reducirlo a 4.000 si la compartes con alguien más. Eso te deja con 6.000ck para transporte, comida, teléfono y otros gastos. Ten en cuenta que en muchos trabajos de estudiante la seguridad social y sanitaria no está incluida por lo que debes de hacerte con un seguro privado. Lo bueno es que hay muchos descuentos al ser estudiante, por ejemplo el transporte es como un 70% más barato. Lo malo es que los precios de todo son igual o mayores que en otras ciudades (ropa, cosméticos, comida...) Es bastante complicado pero se puede si te buscas los mejores precios y te ajustas mucho el cinturón. Yo llevo un par de años viviendo así y se puede, pero no es ideal. Olvídate de ahorrar y lo vas a pasar mal si hay situaciones como la del coronavirus ahora. Lo mejor, si es posible para ti, sería trabajar a tiempo parcial y que tus padres te apoyen con un extra hasta que termines de estudiar. ¡Suerte!
What happens if a person is disabled? Do they receive income or help?
It's a pretty socialist country so I'd say yes
what are you working in czech republic? i just curious because my boyfriend and i speak about our options in germany and czech republic and i don't know what are my possibilities without language knowledge. 😅🙈
I do photography here. But tbh has being very hard to grow as a photographer here. I still mainly work online as a photo editor for companies abroad
The prices are very high in relation to income. Prices are almost on pair with Sweden but a basic salary in Czech R is even less that social welfare in Sweden. Why are prices so high when salaries are so low? The math dont add up. Is it poor competition on the market?
I think it’s cause the companies that actually hire here do it cause of the low salaries. So yeah there’s no unemployment but salaries are horrible. On top of that there’s no real salary range. Like a person that makes little would make 800 euros and a person that makes a lot would make 2.500 euros (both low salaries compared to the range in for example Spain where a poor person makes 1000 euros and a person that makes good money makes 6000 euros
I want to do MBA degree in czech. do videos for international student mam
Oh I have no idea. I didn’t study here so I wouldn’t be able to guide you much there
Still cold??? Keep Safe, Someone is positive in N-COV
Yves Clemente yes! About 5 people!!! I’m taking all the measurements! Yeah it’s pretty cold still tomorrow is gonna be negative (Celsius) at night so still winter 🥶
With the average Czech salary, CZ is definitely unlivable
You need at least 80K per month, after taxes to live in Prague, even more.
Imagine, you have a family with 2 or 3 child, they have to go to school, you need an apartment, furnished, with 3 bedrooms, definitely more than 60 sqm, maybe you will buy one instead of renting for crazy amounts; you need at least one car (if you have child). You have to pay health insurance for them. You have to eat, buy clothes for the kids (in CZ clothes are ridiculous and too expensive) Must pay water, gas, electricity
I ensure you 60K after taxes is not enough, is nothing
The thing is that at the end of everything, you get nothing special in this country. Quality of everything is even very low
Antonio Colucci indeed is not enough for a family I was just talking about a couple. It yeah for a family you need a bigger place. At least on my standards. But right now I don’t have much info about it cause we are not there yet and we wanted to do this based on our experience and our friends. You are totally right. Honestly right now Prague is quite unlivable for a family moving in with kids as you say
It is strange for me as native citizen. I have four siblings and we growed up in 3 bedrooms flat. My parents never had 80k salary together and most people in czech too. I understand that foreigns have different standarts but you can live with much more lesser income. :)
Vlastimil Zlámal of course you can. I’m just informing those who are coming looking for a better life to do the research. Because many of them come here and then they realized their economic power is actually less than before
@@ArepasforDinner yes, I understand. :)
@Janabroderick easy.....you were alone and in a shared flat....
I'm talking about another level, a family with 5 babies.....do u know what does it mean??
