I believe we are taxed higher on these in this country than any other country in the world. Same with petrol which is currently at £1.18/litre round here.
Monthly incomes and prices:
Average pay is about 250 euros per month. School proffessors get under 400. Engineers - 500 to 1000 (over that is rare). If both man and woman earn over 600 euros, with no more than 2 kids, you can live rather decently.
Rent of a small (under 30 sq. m) flat is about 100 euros. Add 80 more for bills. Double that for 50-60 meters.
Pack of cigarettes is under 2 euros. Home made tobacco (illegal, but widespread for high taxes on cigars) is 1/4 the price.
0.5 litres of beer is under 0.5 euros.
Rakija, popular local spirit (yes, it is better than whiskey and vodka!) is still legal to make at home. It is sold for 2 to 4 euros per litre, but home made is best (and free
).Very poor country, hard life. With lots of crime. Used to be a lot better during the "dark communist era". Even better than the western Europe IMO. Now getting worse each year.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
