At first, my annual salary already above 10K (in between 13-14 000) and to
tel you the thruth, its well above average for conditions of Turkey. Knowing
that me and my wanna be wife are both being engineers, our total monthly
sallary is less than 2 000 $, well below European/American standards.
Last month, I've met with two fellow Canadian RTLers in Turkey, and one of
the subject that we talked about was comparizon of the price of living in
both Canada/US and Turkey. We saw that very basic needs, like food,
clothing, transportation (except air transportation) is much more cheaper
here in Turkey. But many other things like prices of real estates, cars, and
of course Legos are at least same and generally higher than the values in US
or Canada.
