Absolutely spot on.
There are students coming here to live and work, just for the experience. They know they will go home and soon fit in with the other people doing the same, many teach English. They can and do live on $1,200 a month. 21,000 CZK.
Rent is the biggest bill, then food, then heating, utilities etc. It's all fun and games and great when you're 18 to 25.
Would I want to do it at 60?
NO FUCKING WAY
Because as people are saying, the moment you want something more than the bear essentials, you need money. I would still be working if all we had was $1,200 a month to live on.
The upside of that is I would be here kissing ass.
