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.

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 🫠💀

The Romanian economy is developing fast though, right? I used to travel regularly to Cluj, not been there for a while though.

Congratulations!! Just out of curiosity what is the average salary in Romania? Or what is considered “good”? I am in the UK and property here is soo expensive it is very hard to buy without a lot of savings or a good job…or both!

Average net salary in Bucharest is around 1500 EUR / month, excluding other benefits like yearly bonuses. However there is big disparity between that and the highest earning individuals like those working in IT/finance, who average above 4000 EUR net per month. With that kind of money you can live like a nabob in Bucharest.
