Budapest is the most expensive place in Hungary. Buying or renting property is crazy there, compared to any other cities. If anyone wants to live in Hungary and it is feasible to move around a bit, I would suggest to spend some time in Győr, Pécs, Debrecen, Szeged, or basically any other place than Budapest.

$560 for that apartment is a crazy good deal. I have apartments around that area where she lives (albeit a bit bigger ones) and the average I can rent them out is $700. Food prices are also way higher if you want to eat healthy, more like around $200 a week, but also depends on what you like to eat. I eat steak two times a week at least, and the price of that is like 8 or 9 times higher than chicken. For a kilo of chicken breast you pay 2000 HUF ($5), whereas a tomahawk steak could cost you 18-19.000 HUF which is around $50 (6% of an average sallary to put it into proportions). The price of a kilo of salmon is also way higher proportionately than in the US. Budapest is not as cheap as foreigners might think, both rent and food prices are high. If your aim is to save money, try the countryside or other big cities like Sopron, Debrecen, Szeged.
Hi there, Hungarian here. This isn't a critique of this video but the video you were reacting to. I also didn't wanna click on this yesterday when I saw it, because I assumed (quite correctly I might add), that it's gonna be just another rich American living off of privilege and not the actual data. So here's the actual data according to OECD (data from 2022): - The average Hungarian salary adjusted for PPP (Purchase Power Parity, which is the only metric that you'll ever need, as it measure the parity of the income in accordance to the burdens aka the costs) is $28.5k (annual) This number in Austria is: $63.8k And Finland: $51.8k These aren't nominal values these would be your net salaries in these countries in accordance with taxation, price fluctuations, real value, and inflation. So yeah, these are not the numbers you would have on your cheques, but the actual worth. On an other note: Hungary has both elitism and nepotism, which also skews the data, as it includes those of the political and economical oligarchy, that gets their money through corruption, and own an insane absolute majority of the country's resources, and production. PS; driving up the prices, decreases the average PPP, as the burdens (costs) get bigger. Linguistic sidenote: nobody really learns Hungarian in Budapest as an immigrant if they know English, because you can get away with English in Budapest almost without any hurdle. Love your channel, keep it up, and have a great one everybody!
Hungary is currently one of the safest countries in Europe. What does this mean? That a drunk young girl gets home safely at night, alone, no matter how far away she lives.

I am a business woman who lives alone in Budapest with pets in pretty good living standard. True that I don’t go out regular but I order take away quite a lot and spend time with friends, so I have much higher expences than average person. My living cost is 1100 usd include everything…
2400 usd / h for a part time job in Hungary? Let’s say she makes 20 hours a week? She gets more than any average Hungarian. Here that’s the 40h salary gross. If you are lucky. More like less. 1500 for half of the country. ☝️
The salary of 3360 $ is almost unacivable for a hunarian people here, if you are not a very special skill sector. Usually foreigners get paid much better just to convinced them to stay here. Keep in mind an average salary for a Hungarian is around 8-900 $. Now try to live of with that money.
@@antisnowflake8618 this is true for now, but the government is working to ensure that young people never have access to housing and instead go abroad to work. and replace them with cheap labour from the Far East and former Soviet states.
the ordanary hungarians not going out twice a week to restaurant the food expenses you can reduce 70% if you cook to yourself 800 dollars food cost that is too much me for myself i do the half or less 300-400 per month. but not evryone can afford even the 400 dollars in the month. your salary in budapest depend of lot of things mostly from your skills the prices are expensive if we say 27% tax on almost evrything that is high. but i can say Budapest one of the safest place in europe. Everywhere in the world have inflation and the price rocketed because of the war. thank you the video :)
These costs in the video are extremely high. It is a very high standard of living. One can live from much less in Budapest. Budapest is not like the Hungarian mafia government, it is a very positional city. A western European city in a Eastern European country which is governed by a mafia.
The lady is beautiful. I'm happy if she feels good here. Hungary is a safe country. Only the liberals criticize it, but Europe is also one of the safest countries in the world. It's no coincidence that the Dutch and Germans come by the tens of thousands, and almost everyone.
What the heck are you talking about. Most turists come to Budapest, and Budapest is full of liberal people 😂 Conservatives criticise Budapest for being liberal.
You idiot, Budapest is very oppositional. It is bullshit that tens of thousands Germans and the Dutch come here. 800 thousand Hungarian left this country to western Europe. But you are a propaganda brainwashed zombie who believes everything.
1-2 liberális kerület biztos van a belvárosban, de többségében megosztott. A 13. ker inkább ex komcsi, ahogy a legtöbb külvárosi ellenzéki szavazó is. Ők nem igazán szeretik a liberalizmust, csak egybe terelték őket velük az elmúlt pár évben. Ja és persze az Orbánt utálják, de nem liberálisok, ez is egy fő szempont, mielőtt a választásokból sokat levonnánk.
Hungary has a very "cheap" currency (353 Huf is a dollar at the moment i write this), salaries are below average which attracts a lot of international businesses, good for investors etc. While Hungary has its own currency they can have their own monetary policies, all in all it helps grow the economy. When its strong enough they can just join the euro zone and have their salaries be bringed up to the european average. If you work in a job that requires some higher education (not bogus like liberal arts or useless things like that) or is a shortage profession (like welders) then you will make a pretty good living.
she may be living well, but unfortunately most people are not. the average monthly salary is 150k -250k (~$430-$710) and only one pass costs that much in Budapest. If you live alone and in the countryside, you need at least 400k-500k (~$1130-$1400) for a meager living. Unfortunately this is the reality here, the country is in an economic crisis due to the government's corruption.
In Budapest, ~2,500-3,000usd is very good money, life here is much cheaper than in Finland, for example. you can live comfortably on 1,500-2,000usd a month, but even less...
There’s something super unlikeable about this video - it just feels so fake and the woman seems so superficial. I have no idea what her story is and I’m not interested in finding out 🤷🏻♀️
Because after this video everybody thinks Hungary is a extremely good place, here is the truth: - the real average salary is $964 (median in 2024) - there is no healthcare system - after a lifetime of work, there is no pension - suspended parliament since 11.03.2020. - there is no real public transport ( in the entire state) - the highest taxes in the western world (for the poor people) - the lowest taxes in the western world (for companies and for richer people) - the government working with mafia methods etc. etc. etc.
Can't believe that you must do this whining bullshit... yes, there is healthcare, yes, there is pension, no, the parliament is not suspended, it is quite operational in fact..., public transport does exit and it's functional, and yes, VAT rate is indeed the highest in Europe but thats's all.

A lot of renters will hike their prices up for foreigners living and studying here too because those prices are still considered cheaper for them.
