When I'm on vacation in Canada I eat out every meal (but usualy have breakast-lunch as one) + lattes, scone, donut throughout the day etc. I allocate myself $400 a week so $50-$60 a day but that's because I know the place and go to favorites, regular places and places with great food but affordable, also not alcohol. 👍 Shakshuka for example is considered a fancy dish, rare delicacy and would be $22-$28.

You probably work at entry level wages and try living beyond your means by buying things that people who work at much higher wages then you do. Russia is a whole different economic system. Communist. They have been subsidized by their government for, well, almost forever. The Russian government made it illegal to own property in 1918, and have only had Freedom to purchase a house since 1990. Purchase power parity is way way in American favor. Russians make very little money compared to U.S. citizens. It's easy to look over the fence and see something that looks better, but if you do the diligence required to be educated, you find the actual details.
It's because of the cost of labor n avg salaries. Most ppl don't make shit so even eating out at those prices is a treat. Everythings relevant so don't fall for the bs propaganda.

Hi Svetlana, lovely to see you again, it’s so good that you have given me a better understanding of the costs of daily life, I’m not interested in how much people earn every month that’s quite easy to find out, it’s knowing what it’s like every day, it appears to me that you’re fond of children and you would be a great mom if you chose to, it’s so nice that you value your friendships and to have the memories of them by choosing rings, where I’m originally from in northern Scotland things can be very difficult to find and expensive so it’s not much different to your life in some ways, I especially like that you enjoy cooking many women don’t like to cook now but I’m quite a traditional type of guy although I enjoy testing my cooking skills, my biggest expenses daily is accommodation because I spend a lot of time travelling, mostly I try to find budget hotels but it’s not always possible and it would usually cost between £50 to £100 a night depending what part of the world I am, I don’t think black is a good thing for you it’s only my opinion but you really are more suited to beautiful colours/colors, it matches your personality and I’m sorry to hear that you lost your hat also, I’m looking forward to your next video already ❤

Hola...mi amor...estaba viendo los videos...el primero que vi...es de dos años atrás... dónde te conoci... recuerdo que me llamo la atención el color de tu cabellera...estabas en un pequeño rio (arroyo)...con todos tus familiares...de eso hace dos años...despues desapareciste un tiempo...aparecias esporádicamente... estás bella!!! cómo siempre...TE ADORO!!! Fue así desde la primera vez...
Sveltlana if this typical for expenses it is cheap in surgut .I'm in Salem Oregon I went to a restaurant with a friend the other day for breakfast .the bill for both of us was $37.00. this was without tip . Also this wasn't an upscale restaurant.
@@justinasbar You are misrepresenting the average salary in Russia. The problem is that Russia and the United States have different tax systems, for example, in Russia they pay tax from the minimum wage, so most enterprises show the minimum wage of their employees (or close to the minimum), which leads to a distortion of statistics. Few people pay taxes on a real salary. It seems to me that you are a troll, because you know this feature of the Russian tax system, but you specifically kept silent about it.
I heard an interview with a lady who grew up in Siberia and moved to America. This was a couple of years ago, but she said that she and her husband took a month vacation in Siberia in her home town and even staying in the best hotels and eating in the best restaurants every day, they barely spent $500 the entire month.
Hello From Canada!!! I understand the salaries are lower in Russia, but you got it good there, there prices and quality of food and service looks better then here in Canada. Your are lucky to live in Russia at this times, no country is perfect. I enjoy your videos.
Yea well you know why Canada is going down the toilet because you have a left wing idiot in charge of your country, Canada is not great , Australian and New Zealand are bounds ahead of you , wake up just because your neighbors are idiots doesn’t mean you have to follow them. We are on your side .
Thank you, Sveta, for taking us around your hometown. It is very charming. Love those white bark trees. Birch I imagine. Compared to US, the Surgut prices are very reasonable. $35 a day is really quite modest especially if you are eating out. Best of everything going forward. 👍😊
I love that you gifted each other rings! It's so much sweeter than j;ust each paying for their own. Can't wait to see which state you're going to. Florida? California? Texas? And how did you meet your fiancé? That would be a cool stlorytime 😊
$35 is a lot in Siberia. For breakfast in the U.S. you'd pay $5 for a donut and coffee, lunch would cost $15/20, but I live in the United States and my salary is in dollars. Basically, you spend more in Siberia than you do here. Market fruits and veggies are the same price as here.
From what you mentioned in this video, I consider what you pay for utilities are somewhat rather high. For the rest that you mentioned I agree they are very affordable. Thanks for your interesting videos!
Hello from Hungary, here the taxi in the inner city of our small town does 2600 Ft (= 650 Rbl), 1 coffee in a coffee house 400-800 Ft (= 100-200 Rbl), breakfast in a little bar 2000 Ft (500 Rbl), 1 bus ticket in the inner zone 450 Ft ( 112 Rbl), 1 l E95 fuel 640 Ft ( average salary 320000 Ft netto ( 80 000 Rbl)

It's interesting to see the food they offer in restaurants, not just the prices. But they do seem reasonable rather than cheap. Is this because of recent inflation in Russia? I like the way you present though, and comparison with St Petersburg is a good idea!
Thailand, Egypt, Turkey also very cheap countries. Yet if you know economy basics, you should know that "cheap" is releated to your income. Avg salary in Syberia is ~500-600usd.
@@justinasbargross income is nothing. To really understand the cost/quality of living proportion you need to have something like this: (I-E)×PPP = income minus mandatory expenses (taxes, rent, utilities, medical insurance etc.) and the result is multiplied by PPP.
@@justinasbar basically yes. There is another simple financial instrument derived from the BigMac Index - comparing for different countries how many BigMacs a McDonalds cashier can buy for his salary per hour.
Svetlana privet love thus content format wise spending it is food prices are very low ang cool restaurants not to high see you in st Petersburg Svetlana happy birthday to your freind Christina 🥳
Svetlana sounds good to me. It was interesting. I would like to see the process of being citizenship in america. Gives me and others what it is like. Some of it I have seen when you were in poland.
I live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio and a typical lunch here is around $15-$20 with a small tip. Dinner is closer to $25 or maybe even $30 at a decent quality restaurant. I'm fortunate that I don't have to scrutinize my expenses very closely, but prices are noticably higher than just a couple years ago. I sometimes eat at home simply because I feel like I'm throwing my money away when I go out to eat. Regardless of my financial status now, I still grew up in a family that struggled, and now I feel wildly irrisponsible when I waste money like that.
I live on 10 000 rubles a week(one person), all utilities and food. Sometimes shoes or clothes as well. That is Penza city in Russia. And I agree, taxi is extremely cheap in Penza as well. That is one of the reasons I become lazy ))
just one thing, in your video showing iphone prices you showed that store inside a shopping center, but you can buy an iphone for pretty much international price on wildberries and ozon
One side of Russia I was not aware of at all...comparing to EU countries all those prices are quite afordable...not expensive at all.. what I saw in your videos is completely different from what they want us to see about your contry here in the western part of europe... I am glad for having the chance to watch yr videos...
Hi! from Victor Harbor South Australia, $4.75 would get you a cheese burger from our local Hungry Jacks that's it! but average wage here across the board is around AUD.$700.00 take home for a 38 hour week, fuel price at the moment for super is $1.85 per litre, one cup of coffee, averaging around $4.60 some places $7.00 ouch!
Eating out in Russia is ridiculously cheap, compared to Western Europe and the US. You could probably eat out 4/5 times a week in Russia, in the West it's a treat and disposable income is so low and restaurants so expensive. Only reason American eateries are busy is because they love borrowing money. Totally different from Russia.
@@RusGirlVlog I'm sure you can eat out 'cafe' meals' often at 500 Rub? Proper restaurants perhaps not. Honestly, Russians always bring up prices to income but you're in a much better situation than most in the West. Hopefully you don't get on the debt death spiral like the Anglo Saxons
@@adriansherman3290well, I go to a nearby bakery for lunch and I spend there 200-350 rubles daily. That's fine for me. I don't go to more expensive places alone anymore. I go there with my boyfriend and he pays there, not me.
@@RusGirlVlog That's between $2 and $3.50. It's peanuts compared to the West. Even crappy Starbucks, Mcds etc are more expensive now. That's another difference, man always pays in Russia, even pays for women not his girlfriend. In the West, so many split the bill. You should count yourself very lucky you live In Russia 😁
@@adriansherman3290 believe me, my boyfriend also can't wait when we can split the bill or better I pay for both of us 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But he realizes that is possible only when I get much more money than now.
I'm curious. You said you weren't going to need a warm hat because you are moving to the States. What area are you moving to? I would assume a southern state.
I spend at least 20$ at kwik trip ever time I stop there . If I need fuel ⛽️ the price is always rising with joe Biden , the cost of living here in the states is definitely higher but I have автомобиль 🚗 и грузовик . So it seems in Russian it’s not as common to have a car 🚘. I live in a smaller city in Wisconsin so nearly everyone has vehicle expenses but it’s the cost of freedom to drive . We can get food at our gas stations that is actually good to eat but it’s around 5$ for one sandwich hot or cold .
@@Magyarkhan I net $1,600 a month, my house payment is 960 utilities running about 400 a month so that leaves me 200 for food and gas in the truck. I'm failing but succeeding somehow. I feed my dogs and chickens too (which give me eggs). So I wondered how far my 16 hundred would go in countries with cheaper food and rent. I'm staying here in overpriced California.
@@konaken1035 I am from the Netherlands. Your wage is when you are about working 3 days a week here and we get compensation for housing if your salary is not enough. It feels you live in a house that’s too expensive for Dutch reference
I wish I could go to Russia and live like I'm a millionaire LOL. But obviously not with the current situation. I wonder if I'll have a chance to visit this beautiful country some day.
Is your city and countryside really that ugly like the communistic houses in this video? I mean, imagine, that the russians start renewing all their old buildings, streets and everything…like it happens here in Europe usually. How much the prices for living would growing then!? I’ve been to Russia many times, and ok, for travelling some time, i would go back, because i missed some places i wanted to see, but generally..i don’t agree to say, that Russia is so beautiful … And what i know is, that russians are very good in putting the shine on things, taking the best perspectives…many filmmaker and photographers, and that there are many russian women generally good looking…like the typical siberian beauty, a mixture of many different populations…they exactly learnt, how to take the best pics, catching the best moment. There are 15 new billionaires last year…Rich dad Poor dad, one of the most famous books, read by russian woman, dreams…
Well, your small espresso is 170, the double is 195. An Americano is not like coffee in the US, it is diluted with 2-3 shots of water. People should buy a double espresso and split it. The price difference makes no sense.
Seriously the food America is toxic and possibly poisonous. Do you realise what you are eating in your country. No wonder you have health issues. People in New Zealand would not eat the crap you feed yourself. It is discussing. Do you actually look at your food and think that is is odd .
@@cristiangaban960 Nope. See Vancouver and Toronto also. Other N.A. cities from other states, provinces are not that far behind. And of course, I don't consider Mexico as being an actual N.A. continent country.
@@menemenetekelupharsin3007 Well then , compare it with St Petersburg and Moscow. Then compare average salaries in Russia with Canada and US. Food being cheaper doesn't mean quality of life is higher .

Hola...mi amor...estaba viendo los videos...el primero que vi...es de dos años atrás... dónde te conoci... recuerdo que me llamo la atención el color de tu cabellera...estabas en un pequeño rio (arroyo)...con todos tus familiares...de eso hace dos años...despues desapareciste un tiempo...aparecias esporádicamente... estás bella!!! cómo siempre...TE ADORO!!! Fue así desde la primera vez...
Sveltlana if this typical for expenses it is cheap in surgut .I'm in Salem Oregon I went to a restaurant with a friend the other day for breakfast .the bill for both of us was $37.00. this was without tip . Also this wasn't an upscale restaurant.
Cheap/expensive is relative thing. It is cheap if you get US salaray, expensive if you get salary in rubles. Avg salary is 50-60k rubles or ~600usd.
@@justinasbar cheap is cheap $ 37.00 for two to have breakfast at a diner is expensive. Stop the copium .
@@justinasbar You are misrepresenting the average salary in Russia. The problem is that Russia and the United States have different tax systems, for example, in Russia they pay tax from the minimum wage, so most enterprises show the minimum wage of their employees (or close to the minimum), which leads to a distortion of statistics. Few people pay taxes on a real salary. It seems to me that you are a troll, because you know this feature of the Russian tax system, but you specifically kept silent about it.
As long as you make us a video with your eyes that normally focus on the beautiful things. Enjoy your time there!
We need a segment, Dessert Time with Svetlana 🍰
Svetlana, I’ve followed you for a long time and,,,,, just love it when you smile ❤
Ella is such eye candy ❤
I heard an interview with a lady who grew up in Siberia and moved to America. This was a couple of years ago, but she said that she and her husband took a month vacation in Siberia in her home town and even staying in the best hotels and eating in the best restaurants every day, they barely spent $500 the entire month.
Hello From Canada!!! I understand the salaries are lower in Russia, but you got it good there, there prices and quality of food and service looks better then here in Canada. Your are lucky to live in Russia at this times, no country is perfect. I enjoy your videos.
Yea well you know why Canada is going down the toilet because you have a left wing idiot in charge of your country, Canada is not great , Australian and New Zealand are bounds ahead of you , wake up just because your neighbors are idiots doesn’t mean you have to follow them. We are on your side .
Morning you.😊😊😊
МЫ ЛЮБИМ ТЕБЯ, НАША СВЕТЛАНА
Thank you, Sveta, for taking us around your hometown. It is very charming. Love those white bark trees. Birch I imagine. Compared to US, the Surgut prices are very reasonable. $35 a day is really quite modest especially if you are eating out. Best of everything going forward. 👍😊
Большинство русских тратят еще меньше а день😊
I love that you gifted each other rings! It's so much sweeter than j;ust each paying for their own. Can't wait to see which state you're going to. Florida? California? Texas? And how did you meet your fiancé? That would be a cool stlorytime 😊
You always fill a sweater so well Svetlana .😍
$35 is a lot in Siberia. For breakfast in the U.S. you'd pay $5 for a donut and coffee, lunch would cost $15/20, but I live in the United States and my salary is in dollars. Basically, you spend more in Siberia than you do here. Market fruits and veggies are the same price as here.
From what you mentioned in this video, I consider what you pay for utilities are somewhat rather high. For the rest that you mentioned I agree they are very affordable. Thanks for your interesting videos!
Prices are about 7x or 8x in Canada
Hello from Hungary, here the taxi in the inner city of our small town does 2600 Ft (= 650 Rbl), 1 coffee in a coffee house 400-800 Ft (= 100-200 Rbl), breakfast in a little bar 2000 Ft (500 Rbl), 1 bus ticket in the inner zone 450 Ft ( 112 Rbl), 1 l E95 fuel 640 Ft (

Hi again from New Zealand. 🇳🇿 As for groceries my neighbour owns supermarkets, I can tell you about that
Sweet Sweet Svetlana, You Look Perfectly Marvelous Darling. "With Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes she will have music where ever she goes". A nursery rhyme that you just may be reading someday to your own beautiful little boy. Svetlana, your friends and cousin look just perfect. And your cousin's little boy; he was giving away your feelings about being a Mom someday. Also Too: Thank you for including a few shots of the lady who waited on you at the Island Soul jewelry store, she was very pleasing to see also. One of my most favorite things to do when I am out and about is people watching, it was great. Well, your birthday is in a week and a half? From when? Ha Ha, at some point it would be nice to know when it actually is, just so we can be timely when we wish you a happy birthday. Svetlana, thank you for putting together yet another very fine video with closeups voice and music. You have a wonderful talent to capture the moment, I's like being right there with you. Please do more videos of Russia while you still can. And I sincerely hope you will keep posting videos when you arrive in these here United States, at least until you find something else to occupy your time. (Mommy?) "Be Happy Stay Pretty & Go Fast" as Alex Taylor would say. Bye for now. ben/ michigan 🇺🇸
Amazing. This Surgut is a time capsule to the early 90's. Who stole the money for the infrastucture and urban modernization? Strong advice. Run.
It's interesting to see the food they offer in restaurants, not just the prices. But they do seem reasonable rather than cheap. Is this because of recent inflation in Russia? I like the way you present though, and comparison with St Petersburg is a good idea!
it is called 'discretionary' spending. Thi is spending by choice. Money you can spend if you want to but not essential for survival.
Interesting. In Russian, we can then just "free money".
grocery is very cheap compared to anywhere in the US
Thailand, Egypt, Turkey also very cheap countries. Yet if you know economy basics, you should know that "cheap" is releated to your income. Avg salary in Syberia is ~500-600usd.
@@justinasbargross income is nothing. To really understand the cost/quality of living proportion you need to have something like this: (I-E)×PPP = income minus mandatory expenses (taxes, rent, utilities, medical insurance etc.) and the result is multiplied by PPP.
@@PaulV.in other words, what avg salary can get you.
@@justinasbar basically yes. There is another simple financial instrument derived from the BigMac Index - comparing for different countries how many BigMacs a McDonalds cashier can buy for his salary per hour.
Svetlana privet love thus content format wise spending it is food prices are very low ang cool restaurants not to high see you in st Petersburg Svetlana happy birthday to your freind Christina 🥳
What is social life like? Is it easy to meet people? If you are a foreigner and learning Russian is it hard to make friends there?
No, it's not hard.
I love you, you are so gorgeous 😍 💗
Svetlana sounds good to me. It was interesting. I would like to see the process of being citizenship in america. Gives me and others what it is like. Some of it I have seen when you were in poland.
1:25 No way you'd get a breakfast for $3.00 AUD here.
I live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio and a typical lunch here is around $15-$20 with a small tip. Dinner is closer to $25 or maybe even $30 at a decent quality restaurant. I'm fortunate that I don't have to scrutinize my expenses very closely, but prices are noticably higher than just a couple years ago. I sometimes eat at home simply because I feel like I'm throwing my money away when I go out to eat. Regardless of my financial status now, I still grew up in a family that struggled, and now I feel wildly irrisponsible when I waste money like that.
I live on 10 000 rubles a week(one person), all utilities and food. Sometimes shoes or clothes as well. That is Penza city in Russia.
And I agree, taxi is extremely cheap in Penza as well. That is one of the reasons I become lazy ))
just one thing, in your video showing iphone prices you showed that store inside a shopping center, but you can buy an iphone for pretty much international price on wildberries and ozon
Very cute vlog, cost nothing comparativ with Montreal
It"s still snow there at this time?
Svetlana, you must be well off. Family must be well connected. Congrats.
Красавица и умница!
Love your videos Svetlana from Australia 🦘
One side of Russia I was not aware of at all...comparing to EU countries all those prices are quite afordable...not expensive at all.. what I saw in your videos is completely different from what they want us to see about your contry here in the western part of europe... I am glad for having the chance to watch yr videos...
Hi! from Victor Harbor South Australia, $4.75 would get you a cheese burger from our local Hungry Jacks that's it! but average wage here across the board is around AUD.$700.00 take home for a 38 hour week, fuel price at the moment for super is $1.85 per litre, one cup of coffee, averaging around $4.60 some places $7.00 ouch!
$23.31 for 4 people. Here I guess that's one person.
That's why I work in Canada remotely but live in Russia no matter I have canadian pasport ))
Eating out in Russia is ridiculously cheap, compared to Western Europe and the US. You could probably eat out 4/5 times a week in Russia, in the West it's a treat and disposable income is so low and restaurants so expensive. Only reason American eateries are busy is because they love borrowing money. Totally different from Russia.
It depends on the income. For example, I can't eat out that often.
@@RusGirlVlog I'm sure you can eat out 'cafe' meals' often at 500 Rub? Proper restaurants perhaps not. Honestly, Russians always bring up prices to income but you're in a much better situation than most in the West. Hopefully you don't get on the debt death spiral like the Anglo Saxons
@@adriansherman3290well, I go to a nearby bakery for lunch and I spend there 200-350 rubles daily. That's fine for me. I don't go to more expensive places alone anymore. I go there with my boyfriend and he pays there, not me.
@@RusGirlVlog That's between $2 and $3.50. It's peanuts compared to the West. Even crappy Starbucks, Mcds etc are more expensive now. That's another difference, man always pays in Russia, even pays for women not his girlfriend. In the West, so many split the bill. You should count yourself very lucky you live In Russia 😁
@@adriansherman3290 believe me, my boyfriend also can't wait when we can split the bill or better I pay for both of us 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But he realizes that is possible only when I get much more money than now.
She is very amazing 😍
The food is great, you could be private tourists around Russia for out of the country people like me 👍
In 1979 « Supertramp » (UK rock band) recorded « Breakfast in America « !
With All Respect
great vid
An omelet made with salmon in the US would be at least $15 - $20 easy...even at IHOP
I'm curious. You said you weren't going to need a warm hat because you are moving to the States. What area are you moving to? I would assume a southern state.
I spend at least 20$ at kwik trip ever time I stop there . If I need fuel ⛽️ the price is always rising with joe Biden , the cost of living here in the states is definitely higher but I have автомобиль 🚗 и грузовик . So it seems in Russian it’s not as common to have a car 🚘. I live in a smaller city in Wisconsin so nearly everyone has vehicle expenses but it’s the cost of freedom to drive . We can get food at our gas stations that is actually good to eat but it’s around 5$ for one sandwich hot or cold .
Там все ещё снег ❄.капец. Вообще там лето наступает или снег круглый год
My guess is it's twice as expensive in the US or maybe even more.
thrice
But you earn several times more each month
@@Magyarkhan I net $1,600 a month, my house payment is 960 utilities running about 400 a month so that leaves me 200 for food and gas in the truck. I'm failing but succeeding somehow. I feed my dogs and chickens too (which give me eggs).
So I wondered how far my 16 hundred would go in countries with cheaper food and rent. I'm staying here in overpriced California.
@@konaken1035 I am from the Netherlands. Your wage is when you are about working 3 days a week here and we get compensation for housing if your salary is not enough. It feels you live in a house that’s too expensive for Dutch reference
Not a complicated life and you seem to enjoy a lot of things. Colder than Bangladesh but other things count in life.
I wish I could go to Russia and live like I'm a millionaire LOL. But obviously not with the current situation. I wonder if I'll have a chance to visit this beautiful country some day.
Is your city and countryside really that ugly like the communistic houses in this video?
I mean, imagine, that the russians start renewing all their old buildings, streets and everything…like it happens here in Europe usually. How much the prices for living would growing then!?
I’ve been to Russia many times, and ok, for travelling some time, i would go back, because i missed some places i wanted to see, but generally..i don’t agree to say, that Russia is so beautiful …
And what i know is, that russians are very good in putting the shine on things, taking the best perspectives…many filmmaker and photographers, and that there are many russian women generally good looking…like the typical siberian beauty, a mixture of many different populations…they exactly learnt, how to take the best pics, catching the best moment.
There are 15 new billionaires last year…Rich dad Poor dad, one of the most famous books, read by russian woman, dreams…
first from tanzania
Well, your small espresso is 170, the double is 195. An Americano is not like coffee in the US, it is diluted with 2-3 shots of water. People should buy a double espresso and split it. The price difference makes no sense.
From one Russian to another Russian, but I now live in California. After watching your video I started craving smoked salmon lol
Good morning ❤️🇷🇺🦾😇👋
Breaking down the money you spent during the day for food traveling that's a good idea.
❤
Thanks beautiful
When are you going to the USA?
Soon
You are getting very thin that will change with usa food haa
Seriously the food America is toxic and possibly poisonous. Do you realise what you are eating in your country. No wonder you have health issues. People in New Zealand would not eat the crap you feed yourself. It is discussing. Do you actually look at your food and think that is is odd .
here is usa or canada an omelete with toast this morning cost 21 us$ plus tip
Yeah , that's bs. Perhaps you mean California.
@@cristiangaban960 Nope.
See Vancouver and Toronto also. Other N.A. cities from other states, provinces are not that far behind. And of course, I don't consider Mexico as being an actual N.A. continent country.
@@menemenetekelupharsin3007 Well then , compare it with St Petersburg and Moscow.
Then compare average salaries in Russia with Canada and US.
Food being cheaper doesn't mean quality of life is higher .
