Let's compare the costs of basic living where you live, I'll start..
I'll put down the categories first so you can just quote or copy them and fill in between the lines, I'll be listing the prices in dollars and compare to what I know stuff costs in the States. Here are the categories I've came up with:
1) A solid rent - talking three rooms and a better location
2) Real estate - a small appartment (two rooms ) and a house or a bigger condo
3) gas
4) Shoes, clothing and accessories
5) Electronics and PC stuff
6) Groceries
7) A solid internet connection ( say 2 mb no limit)
8) a cell phone bill if you use a cell for business (say 300 free minutes)
9) A dinner in a better restaurant and a low end restaurant
10) A beer on tap in average is about 2 bucks
11) a cab ride (say 5 miles)
12) whatever pisses you off
-----------
Prague is ranked to be the 8th most expensive city in the world compared to income.
1) A solid rent can be from 1 300 to 2 000 USD / month (talking three rooms and a better location)
2) Real estate is crazily expensive, a small appartment (two rooms )costs easily 150 - 200k USD.
If you want a real real estate like a condo or a small house it will be easily like 350 k+ .
3) Count the gas beeing about 9 bucks / gallon,
4) Shoes, accessories and clothing in average 30 - 50 pct. more expensive than in the States.
5) Electronics and PC stuff is about twice as expensive as in the States.
6) Groceries about the same, but steadily growing.
7) A solid internet connection (2 mb no limit) 80 - 120 bucks / month
8) a cell phone bill about a 100 bucks a month
9) A dinner in a better restaurant is about 20 - 30 bucks
You can get it for 8 - 10 bucks in local pubs but it usually won't be exactly a gourmet experience.
10) A beer on tap in average is about 2 bucks (about 4 in the center)
11) A 5 miles in a cab is about 16 bucks
12) If you'll live in the center they will be likely to charge you about 900 USD / year just so you can park your car in front of the house if you don't have a garage.
Just curious..
