Up to net 4000-5000 from what I have heard. Rent is 300-400 eur in the city center. Dinner is 15 euros, lunch 5-8 euros. A decent apartment is 100-150k.

An important point here is that you probably can't get reasonable financing to buy said apartment.

Mortgages in a similar country start from 6%.

Depends, if their banks have to follow the central euro bank rates or not, since they have their currency they might not have to, I don't know the specifics on how that works.

Anyway, Central bank has interest at negatives, people are buying houses in EU with very little interest.

Yeah, my comment is relevant only for non-euro countries.

Wow, that's more than in Slovenia (as far as I know) (another former communist EU country, but officially far more developed) - net salary, I don't know how the tax rates and social contributions compare...
