I've just started work in Bucharest and I'm amazed by how low the cost of living is compared to Bulgaria. Housing is more expensive here, obviously (although in the villages, who knows?) but mine is paid through work. The shops though - easily half the price for food, clothes etc. I'm sending my husband back to BG with his weekly shop from Lidl here!

Monthly food bill of £200-300£ is the reason to move That's impossible to eat normally in UK. But your chickens and garden helps.

LOL. Anthony's always worth a chuckle. Thanks for sharing.

Could you please take a look around at building hardware, like having to build part of a roof, windows, doors, kitchen, bathroom. I see Roca has a factory in Bulgaria...

That's going to be helpful as I have seen roof tiles for 0.86 and 2.65

I don’t think you can say water is easily accessible here in Bulgaria. There are severe water shortages over here, with some villages only having there water switched on for a couple of hours a day.

Don’t get me wrong- I love living in Bulgaria, but make sure people know the real situation

You mentioned cost of materials briefly, I'm sure you have plenty of experience with that side of things doing up your house, but while things like lumber, tonne bags of topsoil/gravel/sand etc. would be fairly specific to your needs and probably varies on location, how about things that are universally necessary for renovation and are standardised and mass-produced, like consumables for power tools? Welding rods, angle grinder discs, drill bits, stuff like that? In Ireland, the cheapest way to go is to wait for them to roll around in those magical two aisles in Lidl/Aldi (as long as you don't need them straight away), or get things off amazon if they are more nice or you need higher quality.

What are motoring costs? MOT? Insurance? And is there a 'NHS' type service, or do you part-pay? Do you have separate health insurance?

[DavidMorgan-mr]

The other costs that you have not yet highlighted are National insurance and accountants, if you are both working then 500 lev per month will be needed for this and 100 a month Minimum for an accountant and thats just the beginning, you can not work here with out a company, and it is all based on minimum wage . and working online internationally will mean VAT registration as standard, in fact your youtube income will need declaring against you accounts and will probably be VAT registered,

[Lifeisyours.loveit]

What about health insurance .car tax .mot. for car .road tax ?..

[alpaycavus]

Are there second hand shops ? Clothing, furniture?

[VonL]

I'd like to know how a prescription costs in Bulgaria please.

[Wajihavibes]

How much is the living cost for the family of four in USD?

[thegrassisgreener]

You need to still have a good source of income to live normal life wherever you are in eastern Europe

[mitkodimitrov]

[laylabono]

I eat meat and fish not junk food 🤷 so it's cheap or expensive thank you great video.😊

[Iamusertoo]

Oh i think they gave you really good tomatoes! 🙂❤️

[firepanda]

Prices really started going crazy during COVID. A sack of 10kg potatos went from 10 to 20 Lev for example.

Food is actually not a lot cheaper here in BG.

Council and property tax peanuts, utilities can be peanuts (depending where you live) and booze and fags are cheap lol

How is the internet only 7£ per month? Did you get starling or satellite?
