Former Spartak coach Guillermo Abascal answered the question whether he could live in Moscow on 30,000 rubles a month.
30,000 rubles is three thousand euros? Well, yes, (it occurred to me) somewhere around three or four thousand. But an apartment also costs money. Let’s say the rent is an extra thirty thousand dollars. Then you need to multiply by two. And there you have it, life is beautiful!
By the way, about expensive cities. I would call Basel that way. In Spain and Greece, prices are approximately the same as in Switzerland. In Moscow, there are options: to live a more modest and more expensive life. For the first option, 60,000 rubles are enough.
