It depends on where you live.
I lived in New York City for years. If you had a family, it would be hard to live there as on 6000€/mo, unless you had been living in the same apartment for decades. The median cost of a 2-bedroom apartment there is 3000€ a month, taxation is high (federal, city and state taxes), food is wildly expensive, etc.
I hear London and Tokyo are even worse.
- pedrosorio 5y agoIt’s reasonable to assume the politician earning 6000 euro a month was not living in NYC, London or Tokyo
- ta988 5y agoThere are people living with much less according to salaries distributions how do they do it?
- refurb 5y agoHard to live on 3000EUR/month after housing?
- nitrogen 5y agoUS salaries are pre-tax, so it wouldn't be 3000 left over.
