As in most nations, urban centres are more expensive than rural villages, and those who choose to a life of luxury will never find the bank balance looking too beautiful unless the salary is porportional.
Expats living in Romania often prefer certain amenities that end up being more costly than what the locals know and love. For example, a flat in the centre of Bucharest can cost around 500 Euros per month, but these come in old communist style buildings and can be run-down. So, instead, expats pay 2000 to 3000 Euros a month to live in gated communities on the outskirts of town.
Also, the unpasteurised products in the Romanian food markets and the seasonal fruits and veg are very affordable, but the Western style foods at the supermarkets are imported and pricey.
