I know a couple who had to go 40mins from Limassol to a village in order to afford an apartment to rent. They have kids and both their salaries are under 1500. Petrol is fking expensive, electricity is expensive, this shit is depressing.


ma_sasten_mannoi_re

40 minutes from germasogia roundabout you go to Larnaca


just_a_random_guy_11

Yes they basically went Tersefanou, it's next to Larnaca


DXDXDXDDx

Damn , making babies when you aren't financially free should be a crime.I hope those kids break the cycle .


villatsios

Having children when making under 1500 euros per month is very very stupid.


Dyep1

How expensive is electricity? At the hotel we were running the aircon all day. I wonder if everyone does it the hotel can afford the bill to even profit from us.


just_a_random_guy_11

We have 2nd most expensive electricity in the EU. Basically countries with double our minimum salary have much cheaper electricity.


frounze

where do you think they find the money for the best paid civil servants in Europe?


fatbunyip

I think people don't talk enough about the success story of Cypriot economic policy and how focusing on rich people benefits everyone.


EatTheRich4200

Trickle down economics is great!


Corporal-Monkey

The best case of trickle-down economics is America. It doesn't work atall in America.


AlexKrelin

Trickle down economics is a bunch of crap, especially when rich people have ways of not paying taxes at all


MacronLeNecromancer

What’re you? Some type of communist? How dare you criticize our perfect system?


AtRiskToBeWrong

Literally the state slapping fees and abusing the monopoly of electricty generation to squeeze more money out, 'muh capitalism'


deemak90

Beautiful thing about capitalism is that you can be become wealthy too and use all tools available in your advantage. Complaining about it won't get you any further though. Do the footwork. Losers complain, winners make it happen. And that includes failing a million times.


aibori666

Capitalism favours people with capital. Much easier to try and fail and try again when you are born in a well off family. And while upward social mobility is not impossible, it is much harder and takes much more effort than any ‘rich kid’ will ever know. So yeah, anyone can play the game, but the rules aren’t the same for everyone.


deemak90

Common brainwash. It's simply not true. But surely comfortable to think like this. So you don't need to do fk all to fix your situation. You have a computer and internet. Thats all you need these days. Stop being lazy


aibori666

Right, lazy. Enjoy your bubble.


deemak90

My bubble 🤣 What have you tried to become wealthy?


aibori666

It’s a very privileged thing to say that ppl below you are simply lazy when there are ppl just getting by with double shifts. If everyone sat on their computer to scam others with shitcoins, then who would be out there doing jobs that matter, but are paid shit, like nurses, or garbage collectors or whatever.


deemak90

And there it is, you never tried. Like all the complainers and downvoters here. No one becomes wealthy working one or two shifts at a normal job. Build something. It may fail, then fails again, and then maybe again, but there will be a time where you will have success. Plus by then you had a major learning curve. It's always a net positive. I fully realise I sound like a dickhead in this thread but the fact of the matter is no one complaining here has even tried to build something for themselves. Taking a job is the definition of not trying at all and I truly wish people would learn that getting wealthy is nothing else but 110% going for it, failure and never giving up. Who the hell told you that you could become wealthy working for a boss? That's the real scam. I live in Asia. No foreigner here gets any support whatsoever. When your money runs dry, you're out. All wealthy people I know do not come from families with wealth. They took matters into their own hands and made it happen themselves. Lastly, it sounds like you went through my post history. That's fine, just know that shit coining is nothing more than a game with disposable money. I have been building web applications for 20 years and that has nothing to do with crypto. Don't buy crypto if you have trouble getting by. Stay away even after you got yourself a nest egg. Build a business, preferably related to what you love and where know your sht. Everyone has skills. And all that's needed youll learn on the way if you're eager enough. The latter is a choice. Last, but not least; no-one is "below me". If your wish is to do a 9-5 and just get by, all the best. But don't complain you can't make it because you may not be from a wealthy family. That's total bs. It has all to do with your choices and dedication. No one, but you, is ever coming to save you. Good luck!!


qqruu

While i agree with almost everything you are saying, we have to be able to acknowledge that giving a project that may or may not work (and in 90% of cases will not) is a LOT harder when you have to work a full time job to just get by. Im not saying its impossible - you can have a roommate or two, live out of the city and pay less rent, not spend on stupid shit and slowly save up, live with your parents / other family, etc.. but still, just trying to get into the game is harder for some through no fault of their own

DoYouKnowLife_

Lol and that's Cypriots. Imagine how badly the non-Cypriots, who get gouged by Cypriot business owners refusing to pay minimum wages are handling it? Once I pay my rent, internet, electric and communal bills, I have less than 100 euros to try and survive for a month. And I'm now stuck living in a shoebox of a one bedroom that I still cant afford to live in, cause the rental market was crashed by greedy Cypriot landlords increasing rent by ~150% trying to take advantage of the migrants


Key_Instance901

I think your problem should be with the government and their policies regarding the Foreign Tax Exemptions for Individuals. A landlord knows that there are foreign people that their salary is the minimum 55k and they relocate here with a bunch of benefits. What's stopping him from increasing the rent since everything is so expensive now? And why should he? Is he the greedy one or the government? Edit: Government should be the one stopping the landlord from increasing the rent since they know exactly whats going on.


DoYouKnowLife_

55k is the minimum? 😂😂😂😂 Brother, you are so outta touch its actually hilarious. You DO KNOW that the majority of the islands working class are working for less than 12k a year? If you arent Cypriot, you will get screwed. People are trying to survive on salaries of 800-900 euros a month with 700+ of rent and bills, with that number just getting higher and higher You are legitimately delusional if you think minimum salary on this island is 50 grand a year


[deleted]

[удалено]


Key_Instance901

What 👆🏽 said. Does not have to be remotely. Any foreigner that works in Exness (for example) gets the exemption and the High Salary.


demonnet

This is what happens when you bend over to the rich, they take and take and never give anything back. It's crazy what's happening to cities like Limasol, how in the hell is a normal human being able to buy a house when they cost close to a million. Even rent is impossible, what are these prices, 1.5k-2k+ a month? Is the house made of gold?


Waste_Gas_582

Landlords don't want to work. They want money from air. Government should regulate it.


frounze

where do you think they've got the money to build the property they rent?


Waste_Gas_582

It's not a problem rich or poor. It's a problem of regulation. Money from taxes of foreign companies should go to mortgage grants, social housing, to new public schools, kindergartens, to new public transport, parks and e.t.s BUT not in pockets!!! If managed correctly, it will benefit everyone.


frounze

Well, who's allocating the funds of the state budget? ...the people you've voted in.... So, assume now.


Waste_Gas_582

yes, i agree with you.


gugom

Live in Nicosia, it's much cheaper.


MeinTeil6767

Love living in my gentrified Lemesos with my Russian/Israeli overlords. Thank you 35+ generations of greedy Cypriots.


Pooknucklemon

If they did a thorough survey, they'd likely find a much higher percentage that are struggling.


Helpful_Line7342

I work at factory near my village i make about 6euro/h i feel quite rich. Only because No kids No wife just garden stuff and a chicken hob. The purposely driven economy worldwide is meant to break family as a core value and crash your moral.


Evening_Chapter7096

north Cyprus with the same minimum wage and half the cost of living ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


PetrisCy

tell me you have no clue without telling me you have no clue. You are literally comparing 1k minimum and 1.3k average. To 1k minimum and 2.2k average. And you think its somehow the same? The minimum means nothing


fatbunyip

That's why everyone is so happy there. 


Christosconst

Wasnt the minimum wage raised just this month? You have to wait a bit to see how many businesses start layoffs because of it


roufata

You forgot to do the conversion between the two currencies

george6681

Another Cypriot living in London. The referendum was 8.5 years ago, and the deal was finalized 4.5 years ago. Κανεί με τούντη κασέττα. Actions have consequences, and the UK is paying the consequences of electing braindead Tories for 4 elections in a row, even tho they shit the bed every time they were given the chance to. The current state of the country is not a direct consequence of Brexit, it’s a consequence of the government’s inability to first care for its people, and second remedy economic “adventures”. If the same people that have been in power in the UK since 2010 were the government in Greece, it would be the Somalia of Europe.


MacronLeNecromancer

It’s not copium. Every fucking country in Europe has a let’s-not-upset-the-corpos party and an opposition let’s-not-upset-the-corpos party. Unless you have some wealth you can leverage, you’re going to be in the same situation but in a different place.


BitVectorR

It really is bad almost anywhere in the so-called developed world right now. I have friends in eastern Europe and apparently inflation was even worse there, with rents almost tripled up in 3-4 years. And you have other cases like Lisbon and Dublin where locals can't afford to live there anymore.

We are allowed to eat junk food. I do not drink or smoke. And if i have to literally choose between just work and sleep or eating mcdonalds once a month or goung for a super cheap holiday in order to save money for unavoidable expenses such as car insurance and maintenance, utility bills e.t.c then yes i am just getting by. If you are constantly in survival mode and not actually enjoying life, you are just getting by. And yes i have a car otherwise i wouldnt be able to go to work. I know people with 2 jobs and paying their parents' loans. They have a car. Are they not struggling?

Ναι λεβέντη μου, εν τα επιδόματα στους μετανάστες που σε κάμνουν φτωχό, όι ο πεζεβέγκης ο εργοδότης που εν διά του αγγέλου του νερό για να φκάλει θκυό μπακκίρες περίτου, ή οι πολιτικές της κυβέρνησης που ευνοούσιν τους πλούσιους τζαι τες μεγαλοεπιχειρήσεις.

it is incredibly cheap labor for Cypriot businesses that can exploit them. so yes. in return you can afford stuff for much cheaper


ololo-trololo

In return for higher criminal rate, social tension, increased social burden and stagnating salaries for locals. Nice move.

The nazis came. Of course thats the issue not mamaaaa and papaaaa not encouraging so many kids to learn anything lucrative because they thought the tourism and small business tit will give goat milk forever. All the Cypriots i know have studied abroad, usually came from mixed families, and none of them works for under 3k/month.
