It is necessary to compare income and expenses in proportion, and not directly. It costs, for example, the average figures for the region.
For example, let's take the second largest city in Russia - St. Petersburg. The city's population is 6 million people, the average salary per month is 100k rubles. To convert to dollars, divide by 90 (But we don’t need this).
Most likely the average here is before taxes. Taxes in the Russian Federation are paid by the employer for you, so you will receive not 100k, but, say, 80k. There are compound interest, but their calculation is all on the shoulders of the employer. Including health insurance and pension. In vacancies, the employer usually indicates how much he will pay, minus all taxes.
For example, you receive this 80k per month. And you are live alone.
I personally work for that amount in an office as hvac engineer (and this is still not enough in my specialty, but I’m just lazy). Schedule 5/2, 40 hours per week, 247 working days, not counting 1 month of vacation (usually 2 times 2 weeks). I usually work from 11:00 to 19:00, but I can come to the office whenever I want.
You want to rent housing, a one-room apartment, 10-20 minutes walk from the metro. It will cost from 15k to 30k, depending on the quality of the renovation of the room, the availability of furniture, etc. Each apartment usually always has a washing machine, stove, etc. The price already includes payment for utilities (for example 25k+5k).
Personally, I rent a 2-room apartment for 37k.
How much you spend on food is a purely individual matter. I personally spend from 10k if I cook myself and 20k if I buy delivery of ready-made meals for a month, 2k calories per day. They bring there both meat and fish and cakes. In this case, you don’t have to go to the store at all. (There are food stores everywhere within a 20-minute walk)
Internet 400mbit, unlimited - 600 rubles per month, +600 rubles per smartphone.
I travel to work for 1 hour (15 minutes on foot, 45 by metro), the cost of 70 trips by public transport is 2.7k rubles. Consider the metro in St. Petersburg to be the same as in Moscow, only smaller.
Why didn't you rent an apartment closer to work?
Answer: an apartment closer to my wife’s work)) who also receives from 40k to 100k per month, piecework salary
And so calculate the intermediate results.
You receive 80k rubles per month. 80k-30k-20k-600-600-2700=26100 rubles. 33% balance not spent per month. For example, you can buy yourself a gym membership. For 10k rubles....per year.
Wait a minute, what about health insurance?
you are a designer, perhaps you have a university education? On credit? What about the car?
Answer:
Spent by my parents
0 rubles for kindergarten,
0 for school and
0 for university.
And this is still true today. Because they are free. (There are also paid ones, of course. Well, to get into university you have to get high scores on the school exam, otherwise you have to pay)
I personally don’t need a car at all, because I’d rather sleep for an hour on the subway or read a book than drive around the city in stress for 30 minutes. (But in fairness, a car costs from 1kk to 2kk, new or +/- 5 years old)
For 6kk people, 1.7kk cars are registered in St. Petersburg, because many people don’t use them.
What about medicine? Well, how can I say... We have old women who are almost 80 years old and call an ambulance just out of boredom.
4 times a week.
Calling an ambulance costs 0 rubles.
Treatment of fractures, etc. - 0 rubles,
cut out appendicitis - 0 rubles.
Well, you understand.
My friend spent four and a half weeks in the hospital with kidney stones, he had 2 operations and spent ... 4k rubles on medications to recover at home.
We also have a lot of paid clinics, and if you don’t want to wait 1-2 weeks for an appointment with a free doctor, you can spend 1-2 days with a paid one.
For example, in paid clinics you can do:
X-ray of the skull for 1k-2k rubles, MRI 3k-10k.
Personally, I broke shoulder bones, broke my nose, treated stomach problems, put fillings on all my teeth and all this - for free (for taxes, of course).
The only thing is that it is now problematic to take out a mortgage for your apartment, and the rate and prices have increased significantly. The cost of an apartment naturally depends on many factors, but in St. Petersburg you should focus on 10kk rubles. According to statistics, 71% of the population owns their own home.
Property tax 0.1-0.2% per year, excluding benefits and other things for an ordinary apartment, this is about 10k rubles per year
P.S. in kindergartens, schools and universities, your child will be taught how to read ancient scrolls, write folk ballads, calculate interstellar flights and philosophize according to Hegel and Nietzsche....
and will not hear any conversations about what gender they should choose in life.
Also on the Internet, many people say that cheap products in the Russian Federation are like medium-expensive products in the USA. Like they say they are more tasty, organic, non-GMO, etc. I cannot verify the accuracy of this information.
By the way, Russia is a fairly digitalized country. For example, a street musician playing a guitar near the metro asks you not only for coins, but also.... puts out a QR code for quick transfer by phone!!!
I love this comment.
Thanks for the explanation
@@SaintElvardielSHMD I’ll also add that the average price of a trip to the museum is 500-1000 rubles.
To the theater from 2k to infinity. Usually the theaters are full, they even bought seats for 20k+
To a concert of some group from 1k (2k) (standing) to infinity.
To the cinema for 500 rubles.
A hearty meal in a restaurant costs about 1k per person. (For two people in a Korean restaurant it costs 2.5k, with tips, etc.)
from one end of the city to the other by taxi can cost around 1k rubles, it depends of course on some factors.
Also, in St. Petersburg and in Moscow (in other cities it is less likely, but it also happens) there are a lot of all kinds of free or up to 1k rubles, exhibitions and events, bazaars and so on.
not to mention a bunch of parks and so on. If you can’t sit at home, you can at least hang out somewhere every day.
