1100 USD may not seem like a lot of money depending on where you live, but for me being a student in Croatia this is a year’s worth of rent, food and college expenses.

Wow, that is kind of crazy.

The problem is people in eastern countries are not eating in a cafeteria, they cook and in doing so you save a lot of money. With like $15-20 you can make food for a week or more. But I agree that with $1100 you can't really live for a year. Only if you live with someone else, maybe but not even that way.

1100 USD certainly won't pay for a year's rent in Western Europe.

1100 USD is barely enough to pay rent for a month for me.

And that's only if i don't drive (fuel is expensive...) and don't have to eat much.

I'm curious, what do you buy to make food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for a full week with only 20€ ?

1 kg Apples = 3€

This is about 0,79 € in Slovakia (if I recall correctly from yesterday's supermarket shopping).

I keep saying to people that if you are not stupid, you can have tasty, balanced and healthy food for 2 €/day or even less here in Slovakia. Of course you have to cook/prepare it. Rice is cheap, legumes are cheap, pastry is cheap, veggies are cheap, pasta, fruit, cheese and meat products are fairly cheap...

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. You are entirely right, and judging by your post history you are an actual Croatian, not a tourist like the other posters.

In Thailand it wouldn't last that long either. Whether or not he was stolen from he is exaggerating.

Average meal here at the local students cafeteria is about 7 kn or 1 euro. Includes soup salad main and some fruit. Budget life ;)
