Of course some how mathematically its dosent match for a middle class life style income and their experience, I can guess average salary is 8000Lie around €400 but still it's very low if you compare to other countries. Monthly expenses will be around €500 for middle class families if they don't have bank credit over their shoulders.
Life in Moldova is very difficult. Over million and a half of people working all over the world. People leave their families to make $ somewhere else. How sad is this? Moldova always had good soil, grape vineries - what happen to it? Why this corrapt goverment don't use hard working hands of Moldovian people to better their country?
Why Portugal, Italy and Greece can use them but not one of the poorest country in the world, Moldova?
I live in this city, I confirm the prices
Only the salaries are inferious to what is said - yes, the average salary may be 3461, but you add the 1100 LEI from people who work in bugetary area, and the high salary in finance area and you divide by two!
Voilà, not so good after all
all money in poland goes to renting/bills. and guess what. its not from corruption its from the real estate market being owned and catered to western europeans :\
