I am talking about Czech republic, Slovakia and other countries that were once under Soviet union control.
Median pay is ~ 1737$ a month (20884$ a year)
Minimum wage is ~700$ a month (8400$ a year)
Now a gallon of fuel is 8,2$
Rent for an 2 ROOM flat (one bedroom, one dining/living/Kitchen room)
is 650$/month in a cheap city.
Now in the bigger cities you can pay up to 1000$ for two room apartment. Hell even for one room apartment.
And if you want to buy? 300k for 2 bedrooms. The old unreconstructed ones.
Sure in the villages you can buy cheaper ones. But then, galon of fuel is 8,2$.
And if you want a newly builded flat in the city? 370k for 2 bedroom. Starting.
Our average monthly groceries are around 350$ for two people. And our diet is basically only pasta with ketchup.
Also do you know how much pay you get after 6 years of uni as a doctor? 1500 a month. You get to 2k in about 5 another years. If you get lucky. Its a joke.
Thank GOD we have universal health system and free universities. We barelly go by as it is.
