After a lot of questions in real life, I decided to make a video on how much this wonderful country called Serbia costs me to live in.

Hello from Las Vegas. Was planning on visiting the Balkans top of the year, but because Serbia keeps popping up every time I search “nomadic life” I’ll take this as a sign I that I must consider Serbia too. And Nis looks awesome. thanks for the video. Very helpful. So too are many of the comments.
It's much much safer than Vegas! You're gonna love it. I lived in Vegas and it's a shhithole! I fukkin hate that place with the dumb ass hoood booogers and crime. You deserve better! Good luck!👍👍
Welcome to Serbia, beautiful lady! You're always welcome here. I'd like to invite you to visit Novi Sad, Belgrade, Kragujevac, Kraljevo, Pancevo, Zrenjanin and other cool Serbian cities if you already didn't. You have my support on UA-cam. Wish you all the best, stay healthy, have a nice trip and time in Serbia. Greetings from Novi Sad.
hello sister, just to say if you didn't know something about monuments: 1. If a statue of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, it means that the person died in battle. 2. If the horse has one leg raised, the person died from wounds received in battle. 3. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. sve najlepse sestro i puno uzivanja ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the first reactions of foreigners to a longer stay in Serbia is a few extra kilos added:)... Of course, most of them later take a diet and sports activities to somehow correct it. That's one more reason to avoid driving as much as possible. Delicious food is not the only "problem", but also abundant portions, especially if you eat in restaurants. I spent some time in Italy and I was always hungry there. They eat like birds :)... People in the West have been robbed of the true taste of food by multinational companies, unfortunately. It happened so gradually that it went unnoticed like a lot of other changes recently. The food in Serbia smells and tastes like a real thing - it is not a perfect looking peace of plastic... Of course, there are changes here as well (read it : Montesanto), but it's still not to bad... The price of electric will go up very soon. They call it - the green agenda... One more thing, I would like to add - Niš and all other Serbian cities are very safe for the people in every time (day or night) and for the children. It is not perfect but it is safe enough. I am sure You noticed it... Also, people here are very social and like to hang out with friends. You can easily find a company :). The perfect marriage - western salary and Serbian life :). Best regards from Republic of Srpska !
Hope you'll have a great experience living here in Serbia.. greet's from your town neighbor 😊 please do more vid's like this, it's quite interesting for me watching strangers living and sharing thoughts from our beautiful country..
Nice! It would be interesting to hear what a South African person think of the way of life, considering that South Africa has a reputation of being very unsafe, at least in the larger cities.
Around hundred dollars per year gives you decent health insurance coverage with privately owned companies. Of course it won't cover major surgery, organs transplants and such. Government owned healthcare system is funded by deduction of fixed percentage out of your monthly income and it costs a bit less. Government healthcare system is a bit slow but it gives full cover for anything that needs to be done.
Bravo! Expats usually make grave mistake and live in Belgrade, and nevetheless, in center in Old Town, that is most expensive spot in Serbia... There is the rule in Serbia: the smaller town, smaller expences, so, if your main goal is lowest expences possible, aim for secluded mountain village :) There you simply don't have a places to spend money at all :))))))
@@user-ci7vu7eo9w Yeah, but beside the 300€ apartment you nees at least 300-400€ more to basicly stay alive, and many people sadly don't have this kind of money here.
@@user-ci7vu7eo9w Nope, because a lot of Russians and Urkaineans came recently, appartment rents went skyrocketing, you cannot find anymore even little studio in center for that money... I am on the end of the ends of Belgrade, and 50 m2 appartment here is now 300-350 euro per month... So in center, for the same, count at least x2, but better ones are already 1000+
@Barry Rosenthal It is subjective, from my point of view, Belgrade is the worst place to live in Serbia... It depends what are you expecting from life. And I am speaking as someone who is living in Belgrade 15 years already, and knows what is qualitty of life in other places in Serbia
I hope you post more. I will subscribe for it. Btw I'm your west African brother (Nigerian) born in Russia but I live in Nigeria. Fyi, you popped up on my recommendations
Congrats on going to a real country that actually defends its people. I couldn't believe the demographics I looked up of SA. And its down to some insane number. Glad Serbia its opening its arms to the South African people.
Serbia is opening its arms to every people of every country in the world. You're all welcome in Serbia! Wish you all the best, dear friend, stay healthy. Greetings from Novi Sad, Serbia. 🇷🇸
Serbia in a founder of NAM, also Nelson M. was friend of Serbians. Serbia is the least rasist coutry in Europe by U.S. studies. People speak more then 2 languages (they may not want to). Full of history, full of nice nature, just respect the coutry and our culture and you are in paradise.
@@ЗоранХулк Hopefully that will change with Chinese and Russian direct investment. And cutting out the Israelis and USA. Nothing good comes from having banksters involved in an economy. Look at America, its in free fall right now after Israel bled it dry when the Bolshevik-Israelis took over the US Government. Now they are feasting off the corpse of America with Blackrock exporting all of Americas wealth and real US inflation is over 30% . Serbians have a huge opportunity right now for direct investment. Push out the West and remain neutral.. The Neo Project is over, and Serbia has a major opportunity head for new alliances and offering citizenship to its diaspora and with a new found project. A Slavic Alliance of Nations Against the West and Neutral with the East...
Super excited to have found your channel as early as I did, on the ground floor so to speak Can't wait for more videos! I would love to know why you picked Serbia over South Africa, and some comparisons between the two
I am guy from small village in central Serbia. Your numbers are MOSTLY correct, but u are person who likes to spend a money. You can live relatively good in Serbia with smaller amount of money per ONE PERSON. THE MOST serbian families lives with 1000 us dollars per month or less, for 4 members. Health care is free for people with serbian papers. Health care system in Serbia is not perfct but isnt trush. That icecream, 2USD, it is hiper expensive for icecream. Icecream prices goes from 0,5 us dollars up to the 2usd. My favoritied is something like 0,7 us dollars. Milk+chocolate+strawberries. Around 100 grams in paper package. About rent a living space. 160 usd is resonable price in Nish, city where are you stacioned. For Belgrade, 160 us dollars for city center is unposible mission. You can rent only single room + right to use bathroom for that money. IN AVERAGE, YOU CAN LIVE MODEST+ LIFE in SERBIA as a SINGLE non SERBIAN PERSON for 400 - 450 us dollars per month.
Thanks for the extra insight! Yeah, one thing I'm sad about is that most people here just have enough money to survive - not to live. Most of my friends here think I'm nuts for spending this much here but man, the food. How can you not eat a nice punjena cevap 3 times a week
@@myslavlife Ha ha ha, yeeep, i agree. Actually, 533 usd isnt some huge money. I am wrong about 400 usd per person. 400 usd is enough only to survive. 700 usd is average salary in Serbi but medium salary is mutch less, around 450 usd dollars, 500 max.
@@myslavlife I always advice everyone including foreigenr sif they want to live liek kings in Serbai then have some bussines even small one somewhere outside it and then get montly passive income or anotehr way that most Serbs and some foreigners do is they live in Serbia then depending on the seasson and whats out there/hot so to say they then go eighter Austria,Switerland,Germany,USA find small jobs and work 2/3 jobs for like 2/3 maybe 4 months and spend there as minimum as possible then come back to Serbia and live like kings and buy bunch of things. Many did that and liek made their own houses by just doing that.My friend who sadly no longer is in Serbia he built his own house by each year since his 20s he for like 4-5 months went to eigehr Germany or USA (he had his far family members so it helped alot) then he would or his family wold find him 2-3 jobs that are seassonal but also negotiable so he manages to get 2-3 jobs and wok them. He then hords all that money with only spending on little food even taking discounts and so on.Then he finishes and comes back to Serbia.He basicaly within 4-5 years accumulated enough that he built his own house from scratch. Sadly he chose to leave Serbai cbs he found girl in Germany ad he satrted buissnes there so he ende sellin the house to the state to be demolished for new road that was going to be built there and sold it for like 3x the price. Its all about how samrt peopel are with their money and what tehir goals are.Its all about balancing stuff as i like to say.
@@myslavlife people often turns on water heaters (boilers), washing machines & electrical heating devices to save some money. but, as you know, cost of eletricity is not the issue yet. i'm so happy you are here and enjoying. best regards and keep that spirit!
@@manjag513 As a prospective EU member, Serbia has to align its prices of services to EU standard. Electricity is one item that will go up in price otherwise Serbia will have 'unfair' advantage when trading electricity across borders.
@@MrDomingo55 Yes, I agree, but I don't think it will be done soon, given that the standard of Serbs is worse than the European average. On the other hand, I think it is questionable that Europe wants an integrated Western Balkans at all, given 10 years of complete ignorance, especially after this granting of candidate status to Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, and northern Macedonia, Bosnia and Albania have been waiting for decades. I believe that we are part of European culture and that, throughout history, we have really given a lot to Europe in order to be treated that way - and I say that, who studied in France, traveled all over Europe several times, worked in Germany, Italy and Norway having so many frendships and connections. Imagine how the average inhabitant of this part of the Balkans views it all...
@@manjag513 Well, the government has to limit the borrowings so as to keep them within a limit, and comfortably they are under that limit. Lots of uncertainties that may force government to reduce investments in roads and railways.
Welcome to the lovely city of Niš, the Historical Cradle on the Crosroads of Balkan and main route of the Old World connecting Europe and Asia. Make sure to try the all the food and feel free to make contact with the locals in English, most of us, especially younger, know English and are willing to meet and greeet foreigners. Niš is a University town, so expect some lovely, lovely period of your life. :)
Okay, yeah. Thats about it. But if a person in Serbia, specialy in south has about 350-450€ salary... It gets hard. But, life goes on. Eatherway, I'm really glad that you visited my country. I hope you enjoyed, or still enjoy. 😅 Greetings from the North of Serbia, Novi Sad. 👋🏻
The thing is, she by herself is spending all that money. And we have families of four who are trying to survive with that kind of many. So yeah, while Serbia is very cheap for foreigners it is very, very hard for it's people and is not cheap at all.
@@jovanaputnik4170 Is not the greatest economy, it would be great with RF instead of EU, but there are not homeless camps in Serbia as they are all over US and even EU is increasing homeless.
If you are making money from USA or anywhere else, you can easily live in Serbia without any worries. Unfortunately, people there, making Serbian Dinar, are really struggling living. Oh, and I forget to mention, an average salary is somewhere between 300-400$ per month, and there are people who makes even less... So, yeah... Living there is not that easy and cheap for the regular Serbian citizen. For you, if you earn dollars, it's easy, of course!
Average person will not spend only 100$ a month on food, food in Serbia is 2X higher than in Russia and little bit more expensive than Italy. Some things in Italy cost 3-4X less, like olive oil, balsamico, canned beans, canned tomatoes and paste and the fuel is cheaper than in Serbia... 100$ a month means 330 dinars a day. That will barely buy you a breakfast and its a minimum to calculate per meal, so per day, you need around 1000 dinars, thats 300$ a month, so i dont understand how you calculated 250$ for nice food. You can technically squeeze it and eat for 700 a day, but that means eating popara and similar unhealthy pigs meals. I have grandma in Niš, ive been my whole life (30 years) and i like exploring, some places are bit cheaper than Belgrade, but majority is exactly the same. Taxi is MUCH cheaper in Niš and there are no hills, so you can buy a cheap bicycle and use it for everything, you wont be sweaty after the hill climb. People are friendlier in Niš, city has more greenery and its cleaner than Belgrade, especially the air. Belgrade was the most polluted city in the world, not that long ago.
Hi, I'm guy from Belgrade working also remotly as U and I want to do the oposite to what U did and that is to move to ZA for couple of months! :) I was thinking to go to Durban, but I'm open for other suggestions as well. I heard a lot of cons and pros about going to ZA, but I would really appriciate a word of person from there. Is there a way we can talk?
What is this ? What prices are these ? Is it filmed in 2010 ? Might be that we should move to Nis. Btw, I like your car choice , wife and me, we both drive convertibles. But, I drive to work, gas costs me 150 $ / month 🥺.
Depends on which train line. Railways upgrades cost money and takes time. Chances are that Belgrade Nish railway will be upgraded as a priority. You would then be able to travel quickly from Nish to BudaPest, once Hungarian section is upgraded and Novi Sad Subotica section finished.
I am wage slaving for 2 euro per hour up to 12 hours every day. Struggling to pay bills and bank loan. I don't have a car, I don't have a girlfriend and I am living in an old pre ww2 30 square metres apartment with black mold and roaches. On weekends I go swimming on our community pool, that's all I can afford. Life in Serbia is awesome for some and shit for others. Like anywhere in the world I guess 🤷
I also had a rough time earlier on, I was working 3 jobs to make ends meet. Then got into teaching and then IT. It allows for many more opportunities. Now I can live "comfortably" in Nis. Not Belgrade. Belgrade would kill me. Thats one of the things I struggle with here, watching people survive... Not live. Because the salaries do not allow living, just survival. I will touch on that in the future. For now, I am trying to focus more on the positives. For us from South Africa, Serbia looks like paradise - since we have similar socioeconomic struggles anywhere outside the cities (even there, it is awful for many). The salaries don't match the cost of living. But honestly, here you can go outside without fearing for your life. You can go for a quick walk to the shop without looking behind your back the whole time. Kids play outside. I would stay here, even if I had to go back to working 3 jobs again. But I hope it gets better
Sorry for the late reply - i missed this... It wasn't my first stop, I lived in the Middle East for a few years too while funding my studies. But Serbia... Well, adventure, opportunity, SAFETY, and in search of a happy life.
crazyyyy i live in germany and i am not studying anymore. But as a student i payed alone 400€ + for the shittiest apartment you can imagine. Now i am earning more mone of course but only my rent is way more than your total spending :D only the rent ... and the most funny part is, the most you have is while eating outside :D haha
Serbian language is pain cuz of cyrllic alphabet but lvl of English is pretty good so you dont even need to learn Serbian expecially if you live in bigger city
actually Cyrillic is the easiest part, as it is phonetic, so a person can learn to read Serbian before learning a word of it. grammar is the real pain for many foreigners.
Every public Serbian hospital I've Been looks more like a giant dirty torture chamber. I don't know why no one who works there cares about Taking down the 30 years of spider webs. When in Serbia, it's euro clinic for me lol..
@Franc Josef,ay dont tel lerned germany,ay no more watch turist blogs in may cantri, interest one time, you Franc tel mi lerned english, you right dont hate athers people, Sabaton 🇸🇪 pley song on Serbian army in Great War,no more word, period, welcome alweys,ay lerned dont hawe coment, you perfekt speak spanish, think ay hawe go coment you, you minor,ay dont tipest engish,bether speak,stey helti first,all best in life,period.for lack 🍀🍻 chirs for may techer

hello sister, just to say if you didn't know something about monuments:
1. If a statue of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, it means that the person died in battle. 2. If the horse has one leg raised, the person died from wounds received in battle. 3. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

That's amazing. 20 dollars for dr visit. It can be 700 pounds in uk for top specialust although usually around 300..
Around hundred dollars per year gives you decent health insurance coverage with privately owned companies.
Of course it won't cover major surgery, organs transplants and such.

That will barely buy you a breakfast and its a minimum to calculate per meal, so per day, you need around 1000 dinars, thats 300$ a month, so i dont understand how you calculated 250$ for nice food. You can technically squeeze it and eat for 700 a day, but that means eating popara and similar unhealthy pigs meals. I have grandma in Niš, ive been my whole life (30 years) and i like exploring, some places are bit cheaper than Belgrade, but majority is exactly the same.
Taxi is MUCH cheaper in Niš and there are no hills, so you can buy a cheap bicycle and use it for everything, you wont be sweaty after the hill climb. People are friendlier in Niš, city has more greenery and its cleaner than Belgrade, especially the air. Belgrade was the most polluted city in the world, not that long ago.
Hi, I'm guy from Belgrade working also remotly as U and I want to do the oposite to what U did and that is to move to ZA for couple of months! :) I was thinking to go to Durban, but I'm open for other suggestions as well. I heard a lot of cons and pros about going to ZA, but I would really appriciate a word of person from there. Is there a way we can talk?
What was the surface of your appartment
Bravo, Samo nastavi tako.. Ti si sada Srpkinja. 🙌🏻🇷🇸
Hello from Romania🇷🇴👋🏻
Avoid Belgrade if on budget but even in Belgrade one should be able to get cheap accommodation but it may be bit further out from main areas.
MORE CONTENT! :)
Opaaa WhamenQT :) so funny and cool to find this. Best regards from Novi Sad! That is some quality content right there.
What is this ? What prices are these ?
Is it filmed in 2010 ?
Might be that we should move to Nis.
Btw, I like your car choice , wife and me, we both drive convertibles. But, I drive to work, gas costs me 150 $ / month 🥺.
The wonders of "not being in novi sad or Belgrade" haha
super duper cool 😎
Ahhh nerve wracking
Can you please do the breakdown in writing in the comment section?
I was born in Serbia and live here for 40 years, but I have no idea how you spend only 100$ for food monthly.
bravo
I’m coming to Serbia soon
You are beautiful 😊😉
Hello from Belgrade
I love You❤❤❤
Dont try the train. Pony express is faster than that. Bus, bus, bus.
Depends on which train line. Railways upgrades cost money and takes time. Chances are that Belgrade Nish railway will be upgraded as a priority. You would then be able to travel quickly from Nish to BudaPest, once Hungarian section is upgraded and Novi Sad Subotica section finished.
make more videos
Can tourist get residence permit in serbia.?
I am wage slaving for 2 euro per hour up to 12 hours every day. Struggling to pay bills and bank loan. I don't have a car, I don't have a girlfriend and I am living in an old pre ww2 30 square metres apartment with black mold and roaches.
On weekends I go swimming on our community pool, that's all I can afford.
Life in Serbia is awesome for some and shit for others. Like anywhere in the world I guess 🤷
Yep, these videos are never meant for the average locals, who usually struggle. They're meant for foreigners who have the money.
I also had a rough time earlier on, I was working 3 jobs to make ends meet. Then got into teaching and then IT. It allows for many more opportunities. Now I can live "comfortably" in Nis. Not Belgrade. Belgrade would kill me.
Thats one of the things I struggle with here, watching people survive... Not live. Because the salaries do not allow living, just survival. I will touch on that in the future. For now, I am trying to focus more on the positives.
For us from South Africa, Serbia looks like paradise - since we have similar socioeconomic struggles anywhere outside the cities (even there, it is awful for many). The salaries don't match the cost of living. But honestly, here you can go outside without fearing for your life. You can go for a quick walk to the shop without looking behind your back the whole time. Kids play outside. I would stay here, even if I had to go back to working 3 jobs again.
But I hope it gets better
Are you still in serbia?
Why did you leave South Africa?
Sorry for the late reply - i missed this...
It wasn't my first stop, I lived in the Middle East for a few years too while funding my studies. But Serbia...
Well, adventure, opportunity, SAFETY, and in search of a happy life.

belgrade in 4 months, still deciding if vacation or long term haha
Novi Sad in Serbia I would estimate at minimum $1,000 usd per month without buying clothes, shoes, dental, medical, ...
crazyyyy i live in germany and i am not studying anymore. But as a student i payed alone 400€ + for the shittiest apartment you can imagine. Now i am earning more mone of course but only my rent is way more than your total spending :D only the rent ... and the most funny part is, the most you have is while eating outside :D haha
beautiful woman
Serbia 🇷🇸 super 👌
Serbian language is pain cuz of cyrllic alphabet but lvl of English is pretty good so you dont even need to learn Serbian expecially if you live in bigger city
You're right, but it would be really nice of foreign people to learn just a little bit of Serbian, just to respect the country they live in.
actually Cyrillic is the easiest part, as it is phonetic, so a person can learn to read Serbian before learning a word of it.
grammar is the real pain for many foreigners.
@Barry Rosenthal Bosnians understand Cyrillic since they are learning it in school. But they prefer Latin.
I love slavic languages. I wish all of them were standardized in the Latin alphabet.
@Barry Rosenthal but it is possible to write all of those languages perfectly in Cyrillic.
So why not?
Do you see many extremely tall men? How tall do you see. I hear Serbians are tall
Hopefully we become too expensive
"Gouda" cheese is pronounced the same way you pronounce "out" or "house" it is not "gooda" cheese!!
It's Dutch so its K-k-k-ouda cheese.
Wow you are beautiful
i like you
Every public Serbian hospital I've Been looks more like a giant dirty torture chamber. I don't know why no one who works there cares about Taking down the 30 years of spider webs. When in Serbia, it's euro clinic for me lol..
1000€

I hope that Serbia once and for all got rid of its imperial path, and will be able to join the EU and NATO in the next 10 years.
Thanks - please don't westernize the traditional culture with trippy hair and vibes - It's nice there because it's not about that...
