I have been living in ukraine for 3 years now
I am from uk this is the city come and live here and enjoy good food great entertainment and beautiful girls
super cheap here in ukraine one of the lowest cost for living countries in the world
come and see for yourself
It's really great city. I m here now andits really cheap to stay here. I came from Berlin and i just earn 1000 net after tax.
Food and rent are pretty cheap. But having fun means to spend lots of money. So my advice you should come here and just stay for 1 week and search for flats and everything else.
The biggest problem ist the never ending winter.
Enjoy it.
I think a resonable budget for a person havig to rent a one room central apartment would be 600-750$ monthly and that is well above what locals have. You will rent a place for 250-300$, food should cost around 150$monthly and the rest is yours to keep and enjoy!!! In Lviv it should be fine...not super but comfortable by local standards. Like that you would go out at least two times a week... Hope that helps!!!
I plan to have a car.
I want to enjoy myself and live moderately...not in a risky hovel.
Can anyone suggest a reasonable budget?

Businesses are stagnating now, purchasing power is very low. This city has been in a permanent economic cragmaire for two decades. Yiu still may try to open an IT startup though, if your cystomer base us abroad.
Rents in the city center are higher than in 2015. For 6000uah it would be something really small and generally unattractive if we are speaking about the city center. Out of the city center that money may be enough for something decent.
I would like to know, please, what is the best type of business I can open in Lviv, and thus having to have return.

I have been living here for the past 3 years (I am Ukrainian but had lived i US y whole life), so yeah...I would say that 10000UAH would be good given you have some where to live. Rent in the city center usually takes 5000-6000 UAH out of your pocket ((given you want a nice one, or two room apartment). Food would be about 3000 ...and that is good food...going out will be done with the rest of your money.
I plan to move to Ukraine in January 2017 and I Wonder if UAH 10.000,00 is OK to have good life. I am single and I don't have much free time during the week, so on top of food/transport I also need to consider laundry.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
I am planning to move to Lviv in August to study at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. I have an online job which earns me a sum between 5000 and 5500 UAH, depending on exchange rates.
I visited Lviv as a tourist once and it was very cheap. Do you think this amount of monthly money would be enough for a student living a modest life? In first year, I am planning to stay at a dorm, whose cost is not more than 300 UAH - so essentially, putting accommodation aside, I will have more than 4500 UAH per month.
Is this good money for a student to live on? Or let's say, is it enough? Could I live on it?
It is cheaper to live in a small suburban, but in downtown - safe and fun.
I get salary - hryvnyas 3.000. You get salary in dollars - 3.000
But I buy in hryvnyas: you buy in the US in dollars:
10 eggs - 30 hrvn 10 eggs - 1 dollar
1 kilo bacon - 120 hrvn 1 kilo bacon - 10 dollars
bus fare - 4 hrvn bus fare - approximately 1.50 dollars
hotel - 200 hrvn (nice room) Washington DC -about 100 dollars three blocks away from the White House
etc., etc.
After a month's spendings what is left for me in Ukraine and what is left for you in the US?
Sure, with your 3000dollars it is very nice to live in Ukraine!
But come and live on my pension and I will nicely live on yours!!!! Ready? Steady! Go!
I am a retired newspaper columnist, writer, and cultural adventurer. I also teach English (formal and conversational), Communications, and Cultural Relations. I would love to live in Ukraine and visit the Baltic States. I would also like to learn how to speak Ukrainian and Russian. Could anyone tell me about job possibilities for someone with my background? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for you time on this.
