I want to talk about salaries. How much $ do you have left after paying taxes, rent, and basic expenses (electricity, water)
I get $10 000/y like a fucking slave
My spending basic is $5 000 / year, including food, $2 500 without food
I live in the former SSSR
Another reason to move away
Also they give me these communistic so called "benefits" when you get like prepaid cards for predefined services
You must be joking? $ 10,000 a year?
I get $ 2,300 a year! I worked in the fire protection with a salary of 185 dollars a month. Now I try to get a job in a special communication with the same salary.
Taxes in Russia about 50-60%.
P.S
I looked at your profile, that you are from the Czech Republic. I was born there, but I live in Russia. Ohh ... better to live in the Czech Republic, seriously.
I think it really depends on your cost of living. You can be earning $2000/month but you are living in a country who has a very high cost of living. House rent is big, food is expensive transportation cost much. So even if someone is earning more same result also applies. There are countries that dont pay big minimum salaries but daily living costs cheap also. I think no one really has much left overs from their salaries after all the expenses.
