ERRATA: In the video, it is stated that Ukraine and Moldova will lose a significant portion of their population by 2000. Obviously, this is a mistake; the predictions are for 2100, not 2000. Here are the countries in Europe where it is hardest to make ends meet. What is the situation in your country?
Australia has gone to the dogs. To purchase a very average house in Sydney it only takes 48 years to save enough for a deposit. So you’ll be about 60 years old and by then prices would have increased even more. Renting is no better for a crappy house you’re paying $3000+ a month. Also overpriced food and highest energy prices in the world
The bottom line is this: Life is hard in every place in the world. Of course, a million factors are at play. Inflation and the costs of living are on the rise everywhere, the world is becoming very unstable. And most likely, it will all just get worse.
The biggest problem of those countries are low salary. As a Finn, i have studiet the situation in Moldova. Moldova is the second poorest country in Europe right after Ukraine. But the cost of living is cheap if it is compaired in Finland. Maybe some day i will sell everything that i own and move to Moldova. At least at the point i get retired from work. It would cost less than third to live there than here. Also there is some business options how to make little bit money at the same time to cover some of the costs.
You failed to mention that many citizens in Bosnia, Serbia etc got apartments during Tito's Yugoslavia, which they now own, so they do not pay rent, just the utilities.
I live in the smallest, cheapest town to rent in the UK, I'm making the minimum wage, I get 1500£, I pay for the rent with bills about 700£ / 800£, UK is lost
I can not agree that the cost of living in Russia (1.62) is a bit higher than in Portugal (1.55). I'm from Russia and live for 1 year in Portugal. But I would compare Lisbon and Moscow. The average salary in Lisbon is about 20-30% higher, but it's difficult to find a job there, unlike Moscow, where a lot of vacancies. Rent prices are extremely high in Lisbon. Besides, the quality of houses is much lower. It's about 1500 EUR vs. 500 EUR. If you decide to buy a flat, it'll be about 200k for a new building in Moscow and 350k for ugly old houses 1950s years in Lisbon. Utilities 3-4 times cheaper in Russia taking into account unlimited central heating and gas consumption, while in Portugal, you will be cold. Food is about 30% cheaper in Russia with great diversity compared to meager selection in Lisbon. So, I would say in Russia, the coefficient is about 1.0
@@wateo1782 The war + fidelização + it is required to live here for a while to deeply understand the situation. However, Portugal is attractive because of relatively fast time to obtain citizenship. Then, if you still see no opportunities (during this period situation may change and Portugal may offer some opportunities that are not seen now), consider an other countries.
Not even close. Check out Bulgaria's cost of living compared to income. Then compare the result to the results of Germany, France or every other European country you like.
i both lived in bg and germany. in germany I had to pay rent and the money left to me was 200-300 euros after my expenses. in bg I don't pay rent. the money left to me is still 300 euros but cost of living is lower here
@@emiltuzharski7017 Food is cheaper if you buy it from pazar. also you must take into account that most people in Bulgaria don't pay rent which is biggest expense in the western europe
In 2024 it’s so hard to find a country where the salary is aligned with the cost of living. People always say that the higher the salary the higher the cost of living, so no point to move but that’s far from real. In my country, Italy, very often salary is not paid or very low while cost of living is very high also because there is no way you can work or move around without owning a car. In Czech Republic however, things are much better, although the cost of living is rising even here. I am not sure about other countries but I think one of the best in Europe is Austria right now, assuming that you speak German, of course. Western and South Europe are doing pretty bad on multiple levels, cost of living vs salary included.
How is this figured out again? Cost of living?? Take England and Bosnia. Someone in England having a spiffy job with a 100k salary, and someone in Bosnia with a $15k salary. How much is left after taxes? Now, the person in England typically will mortgage a home and will likely end up paying $4-5 thousand per month on mortgage, utilities, and insurance. Add $2 thousand a month for property taxes. Now the Bosnians for the most part already own their own homes. No mortgage. No property taxes. How much does each have left for spending?
Hi! Thank you for sharing your valuable perspective! 😊 If you’re interested in the topic of taxes, you can watch a video we made on the subject. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/oweGllUA8wQ/v-deo.html Have a great day!
In Portugal right know is just impossible to live. I make more than average with about 1300€/Mouth. One studio in Lisbon is 1400€ plus expenses. Most part of the people make 1000/1100. One bedroom is 650€. Its crazy ! I blame tourism but also an increase in Immigration, there is no houses for everyone.
In most of these countries, emigration is high, but so is the income that these emigrated citizens inject into GNI through investments, tourism or simply by sending money to their parents who need it for care and medical expenses. That is usually what patches this income/expenses disproportion. In 2022, 2.5 billion euros were recorded just in private transactions that people from the diaspora sent to relatives and friends in BiH (through banks).
In Greece I was surprised by the food prices in grocery stores. Many prices were close or the same than in Finland (!), like the prices of dairy products
I kind of compare this to Gaus' law: If the sum of flow in and flow out of a certain isolated part of space is not zero in total, there is either deposition or extraction of material/charge/energy. If the costs of living are higher than wages, it means people are losing their savings or their property, they are being impoverished, and when they don't have anything left, they will be unable to work and will die, sedated by substances, or desperately try to not die and become criminals. Therefore, anyone who is in such situation probably works multiple jobs, but that only appeases inelastic demand and causes further prices hike. So, inevitably, any profession or holder of a job in high supply will eventually have to emigrate, either from the country or from profession, or become an outcast (homeless). The problem is clearly lack of control (stabilizing) loop arm, a push-back, which leads to greater and broader problems, such as relaxation-type oscillations involving periods of conflict, or even revolutions if the relief vent is blocked by stubborn myopic hard stance.
Hi! As we mentioned in the description and in the cards at the top right of the video, it is an error. Of course, we did not mean the year 2000 but 2100. Have a great day 😊
Regarding Ukraine: I will say that half of the salaries here are in the "shadow", taxes are not paid on them or paid a little. Therefore they are not put in statistics. Of course, the people on average are not rich, but I don’t see total poverty. There are pensioners, of course, and they are most affected by the whole situation. What infuriates me in many ways is the ability of many Ukrainians to appear poor, but in fact have good income and a safety net.
I have lived in Katowice, Poland and cost of living was definetely higher than salary. However the gap was small and I have no problem believing there are worse places where to live money-wise.
You have to bear in mind that the average monthly income was used here. In Germany it is $4,500 and I don't know anyone who earns that much or more here in the countryside. And so many people in other countries won't come close to the average monthly income either. My mother lived in Hungary for almost five years and she says that in rural areas salaries of the equivalent of around $350-500 per month were rather standard (average salary in the country $1,300) and often several generations of a family lived in one house to be able to afford it at all and without growing vegetables, possibly keeping animals if possible (chickens etc.) it is hardly possible to survive because food prices are almost two thirds as high as in Germany.
There must be ways how to cope with the situation of the cost of living being higher than an average wage. Otherwise people would not be able to survive.
Both partners have to work, double the salary. But it seems that for countries where the cost of living is twice or more the salary, I have the same question. Maybe investing money, or crime.
I life in Switzerland the cost are so high Not everybody has a high salary Not all Konsistenz good paid Im a single mother im working a lot as a teacher for pre kindergarten kidz my job isn’t good paid But as a teacher for kindergarten is higher paid The cost Herd are to high It’s a problem if the salary isn’t enough paid ……..
Just a quick note about Belarus: the kindergarten example is not valid since the private ones are not standard and the government owned ones are free as well as schools
I travel a lot near the ukranian border, so I see a lot of them on the roads. Although there are only 2 types: - car dealers who are bringing used cars from the west to Ukraine - big black, brand new Mercedes or BMW SUVs
You made quite inaccurate list taking rent as a regular monthly cost for all of those countries. Rent can't be calculated as a monthly cost in most of the Eastern Europe since most of the citizens of ex-Yugoslavia and the Eastern Block fully own the property they are living in due to the housing policies in former socialist countries. Also monthly expenses electricity/heating/broadband are quite cheaper compared to those in the major EU cities. Yes, you need to investigate a little bit before deciding to compare Bosnia to Portugal 😉
I’m surprised that there is no Hungary there. Apartment prices are doubled in the last 6 years. It’s over 10 years worth of whole net salary now and thats just your bogstandard flat. And also everything else doubled as well - cars, groceries etc
I lived in Kosovo, Serbia and Montenegro as a renter both worker and a student. Situation is very different. No real economy in Kosovo, everything is based on forein aid and money from workers in Germany, Austria etc. Montenegro you could make good money in tourism sector but the quality of life is terrible. No good apartments for outsiders. Serbia Belgrade is something different, was affordable but after the pandemic it became impossible for renters. I moved to a smaller town in the province, got married and got a small house. I barely made it thanks to my job being online. Many of my friends in Belgrade are stuck either with their parents or roomates. I dont know who van afford to buy a place in Belgrade, only drug dealers.
Serbia will be bad country untill they enter eu they have potential if they get eu funds wich they will never bcs they support russia and theyr goverment is very corupt but they wont become like germany they will be good in eu union for 15 years after this the coruption will eat them like bulgaria bulgaria was so hyped to get in nato and eu that now its eating the country with all of that coruption
Strange, it doesn't correspond to reality at all. Currently, the Czech Republic has the highest energy prices not only in the EU, which is reflected in the price of absolutely everything, and average salaries are very low.

Hi! According to Numbeo's data, Poland ranks 21st on this list. In fact, Poland isn't in a good situation, it's just that other countries are worse off. Have a great day! 😊
croatia should be on this list. croatian people cannot afford to buy a house or an apartment which is too expensive even for germans, italians, americans, french... yet their salaries are 10x better. one of the main reasons croatian people leave the country along with corruption and low salaries is because everything is too expensive.
Hi! Unfortunately, you’re right! We’ve explained what you mentioned in other videos of ours, like this one: ua-cam.com/video/UG0Pm6mS6Bo/v-deo.html Have a great day! 😊
In all countries that adopted the Euro, the standard of living has fallen. Ask the Slovaks. You earn what you used to earn, and you pay like in Germany. People in Poland do not want the Euro, and the current government, an agent of Germany, is trying to introduce it.
Hi! For this video, we based our information on data provided by Numbeo, which is supplied by the citizens of each country themselves. Have a great day! 😊
The title is misleading because the video uses rent for accommodation cost so the title should be "Highest Cost of Living for Renters". For overall cost of living the biggest factor is home ownership. In eastern European countries most of the people own their homes and don't pay rent, for example home ownership in Kosovo is 97.8%, Albania 96.3%, Romania 95.3% while in Germany it's 49.1%, Switzerland 42.2%, Austria 54% and UK 65%.
But for young people there is no way to own anything in those countries. The comparison is very valid. Yes old gen in eastern EU or someone who inherited property has it super easy and is on welfare richer than the Swiss....but almost no young people can even dream of this.
In Montenegro current average monthly net salary is 832 euros. And our prime minister said that it will be 1000 euros by the early 2025 and minimum wage will be 700 euros. But we will see. Our current minimum wage is 450 euros, as well as our minimum pension.

In Serbia 90 procent of people don't pay rent, they live in own property, electricity and water bills are not more than 50 euro per month. You say on Kosovo is 170 is rent cheaper than Serbia? So on Kosovo rent is free? What I say for Serbia is work same like most of EX-yu and countryes totaly incorect.
Do not know much about other counties on the list, but 1500 euros per month excluding housing is quite a lot for Belarus. Even for the family of 4. I wonder what standard of living is assumed when calculating these costs?
Your rent prices are 2 times lower. In Lisbon, to find an apartment for 1200 EUR/month is a luck. But I think it's possible to find a good one in Zagreb for less than 700
@@egor17992 could me, I'm from Split, so don't care much what is going on in Split. But in any case, you simply can't compare those two cities even as capitals of EU, as Lisboa is a great city in any real sense, and Zagreb is a shithole :D
If Portugal is there and Albania is not, either this stat is unrealiable or Portugal is doing pretty bad. No offense, but a country like Portugal and part of the EU should have a better economy than Albania.
It appears that there isn't much of a scientific approach in the video. Saying that I agree that it is close to the brain that Ukraine is in a terrible situation.
When are these numbers from? Because in Athens, Greece, the last couple of years (2023, 2024) there is no way you can find an apartment for rent on city center for anything around the median presented here (just below 500 euros). If you want to go that cheap, maybe you can find a rat infested basement in a neighbourhood where people are being stabbed outside your window every night, certainly not the median price!
@@gizemlikisi6213 Bulgaria is not just Sofia. In fact the wages in the rest of the country are much lower than those in the capital And people do pay rent actually.
Croats are a great pessimistic and self-destructive nation, and this can be seen from the comments on social networks. There are impressions and there are facts. You have such an impression of life in Croatia, but the facts still show something different. Fortunately, I personally do not share your impression. I don't work in a state-owned company, I work for a private individual.
This chanal spreads russ propaganda. There are no russia, Bulgaria in this list. And Ukraine always had 2 part of salary: official is as usual 2-3 times bigger than minimal and unofficial 2 times bigger than official. And Ukraine have 5 mln private enterprisers without any official salary at all.

In Serbia, current average wage is 860 euros. The most of people lives in their own appartments, because zoung people in Serbia mostlz stays to live with parrents in their parrents house. Ussually houses with two flors, first, parrents, second kids and their families. At the moment. We have between 150 000 and 300 000 Russians living in Serbia. Mostly in two the bigest cities: Novi Sad 360 000 people and Belgrade 1 688 000 people. It almost doubled appartment prices. But, Russians will be always WELCOME in Serbia, but our govermant shoud do something to redistribute new Russians from Turkey, Georgia, Uzbekistan across whole country. Quality of life is simmilar in almost every part of Serbia, exluding two the bigest cities, little bit hihger and far south of the country, little bit lower. But rest of the country can be very good place for living. I hope, we will accept more Russians from Turkey, Georgia,... and asian countries. First of all, they are Russians, ideal replacement for serbian aged population. Second. They pushed up appartment prices but they will push up in mutch higher mutch larger measure domestic economy. 30 000 new small business opened by russian citizens alredy. Turkey has problems with inflation. lso, they accepted 3 milion of syrian refugees, by menthality and religion must closer to the turskih people. And they do not know what to do with them. One big part escaped to western Europe alredz but majority are still in Turkey.

NATO has stil moral obligation and debt of more then 100 bilions of us dollars to Serbia and serbian state.

Serbia is more Balcan, more mediternaian, more oriental country, compared to the Poland. Poland is cloer to the center of Europe. Center of the money source and center of euroepan culture. Also, Serbs and Serbians knows how to enjoy in life with realtively small amount of money. Serbians likes to eat, drink cafee in cafees all day, like to eat expensive food from the high class restaurants. Also.

Still cheaper than Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 but Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 has not that salary as Germans, just compare Almaty and Berlin (you spend about 12-20% to meal meanwhile we spend 40-80% on it)
Bulgaria has higher Purchasing Value then hungary we are not near top 10 but bulgaria is the 2nd most corupt country in europa and most ppl are rich in the goverment or the it section thats why we dont go on the list
You forgot Croatia, we have the highest food prices compared to salaries, insane real estate prices, insane new and used car prices... Germany has cheaper food with 3 times bigger salaries than in Croatia. We have a corrupt and traitorous goverment, and around 30-40% of traitorous population which votes for them every 4 years (I dont consider them neither Croatians or my compatriots). We are a beautiful country, but unfortunately a part of our population is traitorous to our young generations and their future...
One correction. We do not have a corrupt government, but a corrupt population. The majority declares declaratively against corruption, but this same majority participates in it and responds to it. That is why we have the same politicians in power.

Grouping the Albanian Republic Of Kosova with the terror state of Serbia together is so insulting. So out of 27 EU states of whom 22 do recognize the Republic of Kosova & 5 do not suddenly - those 5 states (Greece, Slovakia, Spain, Romania & Cyprus) have more say over some of the world's most powerful EU states like Germany, France, Italy or Sweden who do recognize the Albanian Republic of Kosova. Shame on you.
Kosovo is not a UN member state so it shouldn't even be mentioned as a country. It is still disputed territory. So, be happy that it was mentioned. And it is not the Albanian Republic of Kosovo.

This is just proof that Portugal is Eastern Europe
The biggest problem of those countries are low salary. As a Finn, i have studiet the situation in Moldova. Moldova is the second poorest country in Europe right after Ukraine. But the cost of living is cheap if it is compaired in Finland. Maybe some day i will sell everything that i own and move to Moldova. At least at the point i get retired from work. It would cost less than third to live there than here. Also there is some business options how to make little bit money at the same time to cover some of the costs.

I can not agree that the cost of living in Russia (1.62) is a bit higher than in Portugal (1.55). I'm from Russia and live for 1 year in Portugal. But I would compare Lisbon and Moscow.
The average salary in Lisbon is about 20-30% higher, but it's difficult to find a job there, unlike Moscow, where a lot of vacancies.
Rent prices are extremely high in Lisbon. Besides, the quality of houses is much lower. It's about 1500 EUR vs. 500 EUR.
If you decide to buy a flat, it'll be about 200k for a new building in Moscow and 350k for ugly old houses 1950s years in Lisbon.
Utilities 3-4 times cheaper in Russia taking into account unlimited central heating and gas consumption, while in Portugal, you will be cold.
Food is about 30% cheaper in Russia with great diversity compared to meager selection in Lisbon.
So, I would say in Russia, the coefficient is about 1.0
Why are you in Portugal then?
@@wateo1782 The war + fidelização + it is required to live here for a while to deeply understand the situation. However, Portugal is attractive because of relatively fast time to obtain citizenship.

I confirm for Portugal, but I would add the Netherlands and the Republic if Ireland :)

Not even close. Check out Bulgaria's cost of living compared to income. Then compare the result to the results of Germany, France or every other European country you like.
i both lived in bg and germany. in germany I had to pay rent and the money left to me was 200-300 euros after my expenses. in bg I don't pay rent. the money left to me is still 300 euros but cost of living is lower here
Maybe you lived in Bulgaria long time ago ,now living expenses like food ,bills are higher than Germany.
@@emiltuzharski7017 Food is cheaper if you buy it from pazar. also you must take into account that most people in Bulgaria don't pay rent which is biggest expense in the western europe
In 2024 it’s so hard to find a country where the salary is aligned with the cost of living.
People always say that the higher the salary the higher the cost of living, so no point to move but that’s far from real. In my country, Italy, very often salary is not paid or very low while cost of living is very high also because there is no way you can work or move around without owning a car.
In Czech Republic however, things are much better, although the cost of living is rising even here.
I am not sure about other countries but I think one of the best in Europe is Austria right now, assuming that you speak German, of course.
Western and South Europe are doing pretty bad on multiple levels, cost of living vs salary included.
How is this figured out again? Cost of living?? Take England and Bosnia. Someone in England having a spiffy job with a 100k salary, and someone in Bosnia with a $15k salary. How much is left after taxes? Now, the person in England typically will mortgage a home and will likely end up paying $4-5 thousand per month on mortgage, utilities, and insurance. Add $2 thousand a month for property taxes. Now the Bosnians for the most part already own their own homes. No mortgage. No property taxes. How much does each have left for spending?
Hi! Thank you for sharing your valuable perspective! 😊 If you’re interested in the topic of taxes, you can watch a video we made on the subject. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/oweGllUA8wQ/v-deo.html Have a great day!
In Portugal right know is just impossible to live. I make more than average with about 1300€/Mouth. One studio in Lisbon is 1400€ plus expenses. Most part of the people make 1000/1100. One bedroom is 650€. Its crazy ! I blame tourism but also an increase in Immigration, there is no houses for everyone.
Blame António Bosta.
In most of these countries, emigration is high, but so is the income that these emigrated citizens inject into GNI through investments, tourism or simply by sending money to their parents who need it for care and medical expenses. That is usually what patches this income/expenses disproportion. In 2022, 2.5 billion euros were recorded just in private transactions that people from the diaspora sent to relatives and friends in BiH (through banks).

In Greece I was surprised by the food prices in grocery stores. Many prices were close or the same than in Finland (!), like the prices of dairy products
Hello, and thank you for sharing your valuable experience! 😊 Have a great day!
I kind of compare this to Gaus' law: If the sum of flow in and flow out of a certain isolated part of space is not zero in total, there is either deposition or extraction of material/charge/energy. If the costs of living are higher than wages, it means people are losing their savings or their property, they are being impoverished, and when they don't have anything left, they will be unable to work and will die, sedated by substances, or desperately try to not die and become criminals. Therefore, anyone who is in such situation probably works multiple jobs, but that only appeases inelastic demand and causes further prices hike. So, inevitably, any profession or holder of a job in high supply will eventually have to emigrate, either from the country or from profession, or become an outcast (homeless). The problem is clearly lack of control (stabilizing) loop arm, a push-back, which leads to greater and broader problems, such as relaxation-type oscillations involving periods of conflict, or even revolutions if the relief vent is blocked by stubborn myopic hard stance.

Regarding Ukraine: I will say that half of the salaries here are in the "shadow", taxes are not paid on them or paid a little. Therefore they are not put in statistics. Of course, the people on average are not rich, but I don’t see total poverty. There are pensioners, of course, and they are most affected by the whole situation. What infuriates me in many ways is the ability of many Ukrainians to appear poor, but in fact have good income and a safety net.

Can you make another video where you put top ten countries with lowest cost of living compared to average salary
Tourists destroy.
It depends on your perspective.
You have to bear in mind that the average monthly income was used here. In Germany it is $4,500 and I don't know anyone who earns that much or more here in the countryside. And so many people in other countries won't come close to the average monthly income either. My mother lived in Hungary for almost five years and she says that in rural areas salaries of the equivalent of around $350-500 per month were rather standard (average salary in the country $1,300) and often several generations of a family lived in one house to be able to afford it at all and without growing vegetables, possibly keeping animals if possible (chickens etc.) it is hardly possible to survive because food prices are almost two thirds as high as in Germany.
Hi! Thank you for sharing these informations with the community. Have a great day! 😊
There must be ways how to cope with the situation of the cost of living being higher than an average wage. Otherwise people would not be able to survive.
Both partners have to work, double the salary. But it seems that for countries where the cost of living is twice or more the salary, I have the same question. Maybe investing money, or crime.

Hi! We are already preparing it 😉
What You forgot to menion that in those countries the majority are house/flat owners :)
You made quite inaccurate list taking rent as a regular monthly cost for all of those countries. Rent can't be calculated as a monthly cost in most of the Eastern Europe since most of the citizens of ex-Yugoslavia and the Eastern Block fully own the property they are living in due to the housing policies in former socialist countries. Also monthly expenses electricity/heating/broadband are quite cheaper compared to those in the major EU cities. Yes, you need to investigate a little bit before deciding to compare Bosnia to Portugal 😉

No good apartments for outsiders. Serbia Belgrade is something different, was affordable but after the pandemic it became impossible for renters. I moved to a smaller town in the province, got married and got a small house. I barely made it thanks to my job being online.

The title is misleading because the video uses rent for accommodation cost so the title should be "Highest Cost of Living for Renters". For overall cost of living the biggest factor is home ownership. In eastern European countries most of the people own their homes and don't pay rent, for example home ownership in Kosovo is 97.8%, Albania 96.3%, Romania 95.3% while in Germany it's 49.1%, Switzerland 42.2%, Austria 54% and UK 65%.

Kosovo is Serbia, oldest part of the country.
This Romanian agrees.
Lmao. It hasnt been for 30 years grow up. With your logic republika srpska is bosnia. You did anex it....
@@antonioangeloviii4748 It is for 1.500 years, just watch.
30 years 😂😂😂 grow up.
Yes keep dreaming
🗿
These countries are mostly old east block countries... It will take many years before they reach old European countries..
Hi! That's a very insightful observation! Have a great day! 😊
They are almost equally old and have been in Europe as long as they existed.
wtf is this list. Estonia is the actual n1
Hi! According to data from Numbeo, Estonia ranks twenty-third on this list. Have a great day! 😊
@@AmazingEuropeChannel XD what kind of fucking data they have there
@@AmazingEuropeChannel Not looking for a debate, but rather interested in where Bulgaria ranks? Bulgarians are miracle workers when it comes to stretching their salaries.
@raisinette35 Hi! According to the data provided by Numbeo, Bulgaria ranks twenty-second. Have a great day! 😊
@@AmazingEuropeChannel Ireland ranks above 10. No joke. Tell me if I'm wrong (which I shouldnt be)
В украине самая вкусная еда и самые красивые квартиры с ремонтом. Хорошие строители у нас зарпбатывают очень хорошо. И не только они. Уборщики и пенсионеры еле выжива
Finland should be no 1
Hi! Thank you for sharing your valuable perspective! 😊 Have a great day!
No. It should not. Finland's salories are high and the standard of living is very good.
@@butterflies655 you are delusional
@@butterflies655I live in Finland and take this into consideration:
Average salary for most ppl is 2000€ or below that.
I earn usually around 1800€ if I work at a nightshift.
Rent is normally 990€ for a decent size apartment. If it’s a newer or renovated apartment then even a really small one can cost up to 800-900€.
Phone, internet, insurance, car insurance, gas for the car and food.
My phone bill with an internet costs 40€, I have a gym membership 66€, car insurance 200€ every other month, because I travel to work by a car the gas would take up to 300- 400€ per month, food for just myself is around 300€ per month + I’ve got a cat. Electricity bills vary but the most expensive I’ve gotten during winter is over 100€.
Just tell me, how is that possible to even collect money for maybe a better house in the future or to provide anything for a child.
I also buy clothes very rarely and that also from a second hand stores
@@veganinwonderland5602Median salary is about 3199 eur (2024)
Man how you can put Malta and not mentioned Slovakia. Slovakia is definitely worse than Malta. It a must put that sh*thole to your list
Hi! According to the data provided by Numbeo, Slovakia ranks twelfth on this list! Have a great day! 😊
Your mother´s womb is a shithole and why it had to fart out a turd like you into this world is beyond me.
Bullshit
Kosovo is Serbia.
No
No it isn’t
It’s independent country
@@dattebayodattebanedattebasa Do you have books? Can you read?
@@TheBluewallcat yes, it’s accepted by majority of the countries including my country so it’s nothing strange that we’re learning about Kosovo as independent country
@@dattebayodattebanedattebasa It doesn't mean shit in my book. It was taken away from Serbia by force.
All of them are colonies..
since when does belarus/white russia belongs to europe lol, putin will laugh
Since forever lol. Learn geography, Europe does not equal to eu.
Europe stretches to the Ural and Caucasus mountains in Russia and partly in Georgia and Azerbaijan. You should know this if you have any schooling.
Since forever
I live in Poland next to Belarus
@kennyvandierendonck2389 Hi! Our channel covers not only the European Union but all the nations on the European continent (including transcontinental countries like Russia). Have a great day! 😊
Russia itself is in Europe and it is in Asia. So the countries west of Russia are in Europe. He said Europe anyway, not EU and Europe isn't the same as EU
I am not sure Portugal belongs on this list. Slovakia certainly does.
In corrupted portugal the monthly salary just about feeds a cat.
I know people in portugal who just eat bread all day.
@@claudiojunior9618 If You are Portugese perhaps You can tell us how it came about that Portugal is mentioned togehter with all these other s***hole countries?
@carstenf279 Hi! According to the data provided by Numbeo, Slovakia ranks twelfth on this list! Have a great day! 😊
@@claudiojunior9618 Checking the latest Corruption Index, Portugal is not doing THAT bad compared to Italy, Greece or Eastern Europe in general.
As residence of Lisbon i can assured you Portugal should be on this list where most of the people earn around 900 euro per month but you will not find a 1 bed room house even out of city center less than 1200 plus utilities minimum 300 euros.and most of the grocery item cost same as Luxembourg or swizerland. But 5 years before the scenario was completely different, thanks.
Not objectief 🙄
Hi! Thank you for sharing your valuable perspective! We reported the data provided by Numbeo, which in turn was provided by the residents of the involved countries themselves. Have a great day! 😊
The name of Macedonia is NORTH MACEDONIA. PLZ correct the nämä with the official one.🍓🇲🇰
Are you Greek?

Hi! According to Numbeo, Bulgaria ranks fifteenth on this list. Have a great day! 🙂
Grouping the Albanian Republic Of Kosova with the terror state of Serbia together is so insulting. So out of 27 EU states of whom 22 do recognize the Republic of Kosova & 5 do not suddenly - those 5 states (Greece, Slovakia, Spain, Romania & Cyprus) have more say over some of the world's most powerful EU states like Germany, France, Italy or Sweden who do recognize the Albanian Republic of Kosova. Shame on you.
What is kosova
It doesn't exist
Kosovo is not a UN member state so it shouldn't even be mentioned as a country. It is still disputed territory. So, be happy that it was mentioned. And it is not the Albanian Republic of Kosovo. It is the Serbian Province of Kosovo which was taken away from us by NATO, in complete violation of international law.

Life is not hard.. u choose it to be hard.. u just have to be a little bit smart and open-minded and you can have a good life.
Teach us bro
Sounds like something a sex worker would say
@@Yowise-q8k bro, there are so many opportunities now to make money.. and if you are smart enough , u can take your girlfriend, work together and save a lot of money for your purposes .. and if you are smart enough , you know humans need just 2400 calories / day , so you don't waste a lot of money on food , what an ordanary human would do....and if u save a lot of money , u can do it in a short period of time if you know how to cut expenses even if you make some compromises , but after you saved a lot , you can start investing in stocks or buy properties and rent them.. there are a lot of ways to make passive incomes once you already have a lot of savings..
@@GamingSKillZone if evry human do this the economys wont work thats not communism lil bro thats democracy democracy makes 3 standarts poor normal and rich ppl and if ur poor u most likly stay poor if ur normal u stay normal and same for rich the only diffrences from communism is that u have more freedom and u can make youtube chanell or become famouse to grow a bussiness to become rich from poor thats why ppl say communism was better bcs there was not a single poor person now in democracy if u dont go to school and u cant do anything u are being left on the streets unlike communism u cloudve defently find a job to be helper or factory worker now days even with high degree u cant work in factory and after 10 years when evrybody wants to become famouse there will be so many fms ppl that u wont be able to become famouse too democracy kills evrything with time and u will see it it makes rich ppl richer and poor people poorer thats why theres 10 times more prtotest rn then in communism bcs poor ppl were not sceared to know they will make ends meat to feed theyr familys
@@zkilerex9661bro I just explained u a way to have a good life, of course a lot of ppl wont do that cuz its hard for them to make some compromises or even to have a job , and yeah i know the economy wont work if everybody was doing that, but at least u can have a good life.
Im glad i dont wanna live in any of these countries
When talking about ukraine, try not to mention kiev and other big citites, those by far are not the worst off in the country. It's the small towns and villages that have been dying out on salaries 5000Uah/month for decades.
Hi! Thank you for sharing this information with the community. Have a great day! 😊
Hi , it would have been better to talk about Retiree who can live in those Countries and the cost living for the Retiree and not
talking about the Cost of living for the Locals !
Hi! If you're interested in the topic of retirees, we have already made a video about the best European countries to live in as a retiree, especially for those relocating from abroad. If you're interested, you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/0lLULM3n3qA/v-deo.html Have a great day! 😊
