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 can truly sympathise with you. Were I still employed I would have taken home on a very good job USD6,000 per year pre-tax (min wage is almost USD 2,000 annually). At that bracket tax is only (!) 20% so let us say I end up with $4800 a year.
Forget expenses, I really don't spend more than i have to. I was able to send money home to parents like most Asians do= 3,000 per year. I have virtually no savings of my own.
So the simple answer is I can keep 3,000 per year. I rent a space in a flat (not a room), cook meals for many ppl to cut costs. we use basic free internet. So I can live on very little.
It seems like a good deal but only if you don't mind living this life every day and have nowhere to go.
