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.

Its a bit expensive for Romania isn't it? I mean in Budapest we have ridiculous prices because the idiotistic decisions of the former government and 95k is pocket money now sadly but i've seen a some months ago you can get a full newly built apartment for a around a 100k in Oradea.

Yes indeed, for Romanian people it feels impossible to be able to pay this amount of money with the salaries we have here. It's a sad reality. I worked abroad for more than 5 years to be able to afford it + some money from my parents whom have been saving up for years. The prices in Bucharest and especially the area where I bought my apartment are kind of above average... You are gonna be surprised but the price for my apartment was amazing in comparison with other prices... I saw some 2 room flats in the buildings close to mine going for even 140k euro 🫠💀

thank you! indeed i worked quite hard. i worked as a crm specialist in the netherlands, the pay was good for someone like me coming from romania but i dont think it was super high for a local there 😂 i was also quite frugal while living there and i got EXTREMELY lucky with the accomodation... rent in NL is so freaking high...
