Budapest, Hungary Pros: cost of living is relatively low especially for things like utilities etc. Very strong social programs to support young families (6 months maternity leave paid at 100% followed by 18 months of benefits paid at up to twice the minimum wage, plus up to 30 months of unpaid leave for one parent, access to preferential rate loans, grants etc. without means testing for young families, etc.). Excellent and cheap public transport. Beautiful city/architecture. Cons: purchasing power is relatively low, inflation is outpacing salaries and interest on savings, extremely populist government with little hope of change, high levels of corruption, less progressive attitudes towards feminism, gender identity, sexuality, racial diversity. Older folks often don’t speak English.
