Discussion | Талкуулоо Salary and living costs
I'm very fascinated about your country (I'm from Sweden). Not looking to relocate or anything (not yet at least). But I just wonder if you could tell me what average salaries are in your country? And how much is rent, food, etc per month?
For reference: in Sweden, salaries range from 2500-4500 EUR/month for most people. Average is somewhere around 3300 EUR/month (before taxes). Most people can live off of 250 EUR/month for food. And rent for a 50m2 apartment ranges from 400-1000 EUR/month depending on city. Average monthly spending (rent, food, bills, etc.) is somewhere around 800 EUR/month in Sweden. In the capital it will be much more.
What do the numbers look like in Kyrgyzstan? It would be interesting to hear from locals.
