@SortOfTested I wouldn't say that it sucks. It a *very* good amount in my country. You can definitely survive for a few years from 50k, if you wanted to around here.

@lamka02sk It sucks if it doesn't cover rent, transport and healthcare etc.
Doesn't matter how high the salary is then, you're essentially working at a loss. Cost of living over there is insane.
Now if you're getting that salary for remote work and living somewhere cheap - now that's very nice :-) -
r-fu2865y@AlmondSauce agree with you. Im living with my sister and shes paying for rent and food. If I pay or even chipin id be in the streets. Haha

SomeNone7135yFrom this we learn that the absolute numbers of how much you earn are pretty much meaningless. I live in Amsterdam, and earn a little more than OP, with my wife who earns a little less than OP. We are not poor, we can pay for our usual expenses (rent, food, transport, going out once in a while, travelling now and then) but we definitely don't feel rich, either. We also have previous experience living in different countries under different conditions.
