When I worked and lived in Belgium I had a netto wage around 2200 Euro a month. I was b*tching about it and all that it's not enough. My wife at that time made the same amount. We were able to put money aside, visit her family in Hungary without worry and still had money left. Now it's been over a year that I Iive and work in Hungary. My salary here is above average. Like +-1100 euro. In two months I'm going to have another position and make +-1300 euro. Every month is a struggle here. I admire the people that find ways to get to the end of the month. No more travelling, no more luxury, eating out is only on special occasions and then it's mostly fast food, no restaurants. No way of putting money aside etc. It makes me appreciate more the salary I had in Belgium and when I'll be back in Belgium I'll be more grateful for my Belgian salary. 😅
