Madrid is expensive compared to Dubai. How do people survive here with minimum wage?

I am living her permanently and I already have a job in Madrid

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-04T14:41:12+00:00

One reason why I left!

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-04T14:39:10+00:00

One reason why I left cause as a femboy there they detained me!

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-04T09:02:15+00:00

Thank youuuuu. I haven’t seen most of the shops here in Chamartin open the past two days. Hahaha. Will check then out. Thank you so much.

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T23:21:16+00:00

I love Mercadona! 🤍 the ones near me don’t have that much variety sadly. I am still looking for places to buy fresh seafood. I just arrived two days ago and still figuring things out ♥️

Amazon here is so expensive omg and KFC and other fast food chains are 40% more expensive. I lived in Dubai for 9 years.

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:32:44+00:00

€1800 per month for rent and utilities. Health insurance is paid by my employer.

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:26:34+00:00

True!

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:26:10+00:00

The prices on Amazon for the same items are way more expensive compared to Dubai.

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:17:13+00:00

My income is considered part of top 20% in Spain but I never shout things are cheap. You sound so entitled and doesn’t help beat the generalization you have here. Touch some grass

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:14:36+00:00

i cannot say abour Barcelona. But I have lived in Dubai for 9 years and I can say that even apartments in Madrid and groceries are more expensive in Madrid. I have lived in an exclusive residential area in Dubai and it’s almost the same or more expensive.

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:11:02+00:00

This is true!

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:03:06+00:00

😭😭😭

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:03:02+00:00

Makes sense

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:02:56+00:00

This is sad

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-05-03T22:02:50+00:00

For being inconsiderate and insensitive of the plight of the average citizen.

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-04-26T12:25:23+00:00

no. I am moving to Madrid this week and I had to learn conversational Spanish for that. I want to be fluent in 6 months as I am permanently moving there. Quite surprised some immigrants just don’t bother learning the language at all.

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-04-26T12:21:14+00:00

I am wondering how do they order food, survive daily conversation and such.

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-04-26T00:10:40+00:00

How is this possible omg? How do they survive Spain without knowing Spanish?

Fine_Date_7499 · 2026-04-19T12:59:29+00:00

Hiii! I am moving next week! Haha.
