Wir wohnen in Regensburg schon 4 Jahre.
Diese Preise sind aktuell. Zum Beispiel Lebenshaltungskosten sind bei uns solche: wir wohnen in 3zimmer Wohnung im Zentrum, das kostet 1100€ pro Monat (warm). Unsere Familie besteht aus 3 Personen : 2 Erwachsene und 1 Kind. Wir geben für Lebensmittel ca. 600€ pro Monat aus. Andere Ausgaben, wie Verkehrsmittel, Fitness, Restaurant, Unterhaltung sind auch ca. 500-600€ pro Monat. Unsere Leben ist gut, vollgültig mit Durchschnittseinkommen.
