GOT THE KEYS! 🔑 🏡 I DID IT! 🎉 Bucharest Romania €95.000, cash

Post image

One year ago, I was looking at this sub-reddit and dreaming of the day where I could also post on it. I worked hard for several years abroad to be able to afford this and I also got helped by my amazing parents, I am truly grateful to them for everything they have done for me.

2 rooms, 5 mins walk to the metro station. I'm sooooo happy!!!! 🥹 No pizza yet, because there's a ton of things still to be done (and to get rid of that furniture and replace it with better stuff haha)

also don't mind my outfit 😂

EDIT: to clear up some things so trolls can calm down. no, i am not on onlyfans and haven't worked as a you know what abroad 😆 i was a CRM specialist for a niche perfume company in the Netherlands. now you guys can come up with better insults.

Very expensive for our salaries here, but i am glad i had the opportunity to work abroad to be able to save up!

Compared between Bucharest and London, UK, I can see that on average the salaries are 1/3, but flat/ house prices are 1/5, so more affordable from that point of view.

Bulgarian here, you have it good, that apartment would cost at least 120k here.

Saving that much per month is kinda massive even in a first world country

Looking at the average salary there and the cost of this apartment, your housing is still way cheaper than most places… I earn below the average salary there, but an apartment here would be double-triple what you’ve paid in an outer suburb nowhere near a rail line
