Disagree with Vronski. $3300 per month is ballin out in Ukraine. I have a nice one bedroom in the center of Kiev for $650. Metro costs 10 cents. Food is dirt cheap. You can get a streak dinner at Riccola for $6.
$3300 converts to over 80,000 grivna. The average salary is around 8,000 gr. So you're telling me making literally 10 times the average local salary would not be living large? $1500 is enough to live comfortably.
Yeah. I haven't lived in Kiev for an extended time, but I spent two months there (one month in Feb, one in July), and both cases my expenses were less than $2,000 (Canadian), and I ate out every night, drank a lot, visited high-end venues, went on a trip to Odessa, paid for ladies' cabs, food as well, and to be honest, I had a hard time spending money to reach my budget.
3000 euros is more than you need to have a nice life in Kiev/EE. Obviously, if you visit strip clubs with their 300UAH cocktails or look for professionals, your costs will increase.
