Thanks for the feedback. Hungary might not be a top developed country, but there is a huge divide between a developed and a chaotic country.
1- Public transport is really huge. A car is a very expensive thing (especially a new one).
2- Car prices are two times higher than in developed countries. This is due to importing restrictions. Old cars are crazy expensive. My car appreciate just one week after I bought it by 8%.
3- This one is huge. In an unstable economy, it's not abnormal to see a sudden raise of 300% in some consumption good.
I do also assume/think that Hungary has an acceptable health care, too. Public health care here is another NO.NO. here. (ps the country is Tunisia).
otherwise, what are rents there like? It'd cost around $1,000/month to rent something respectable here.
Yes, I would never describe Hungary as a chaotic country.
I see how all of those things would drastically alter your needed income, especially the cost of a car and inflation.
I'm certainly not well informed on the cost of rent here, but I guess that 300-400€ per month should get you a more than decent place to live and work.
I checked the blog on your profile and seems like you're working on some cool things and doing well for yourself, congrats on overcoming the odds like that.
