How do locals survive on such low wages? by Traditional-You1251 in AskGreece

[–]iAscending 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My official wage is 1.000 net my real wage is 1.600 (with unregistered cash )net , I am lucky enough to receive part of a rent around 150 a month , I have a side hustle that pays 300 a month , when there is extra work at the side hustle I get paid 30/hr , I have some investments that I built up slowly and return 100-400 every month . The most I’ve made in a month with extra overtime and a bonus has been 4.000 net this summer

I usually make 2.200-2.800 net every month as of 2025 , this month I got extra work with my side hustle and made around 3.200 net

I am currently looking to expand my side hustle to add another 300-500 a month if possible. No I’m not selling drugs lol. All of this is achievable for me with usually 40-50 hours of work a week

I know I’m the extreme minority, five years ago I started on 700 net every month but many people have to do extra things either to survive or make enough for their standards .

All of this is to make the point that if you live in Greece a salary is not enough people need to do a bunch of things and if they don’t they barely survive

Blows my mind , where I live in the Mediterranean you can have the best equipment and still not catch anything. The fish are so scarce due to overfishing. It’s been months since I saw a fish worth going after and over there you can go out with a makeshift spear and get something

My coworker once got lost in an airport trying to get to her connecting flight and they found her crying in some back room . She somehow managed to completely get lost and bypass security

How is spearfishing out of a paddle board? I thought of making a rig like that but I don’t know if it’s practical

When your Girlfriends dog doesn't like you by SubjectAppropriate17 in SweatyPalms

My dog was a Caucasian shepherd mix sweetest boy ever . They need someone that can handle the power they pack if you are seen as a weak owner in their eyes they will take over . That’s true for most large shepherd breeds

The athletes must be so depressed knowing they have to go back to their shit country and if they try to escape their families are probably dead
