It's a shame salaries are low in Spain and so many leave the country. But even those who remain are super people and so intelligent. The young people of Spain are amazing...and Spain is incredible.

If you have an stable, reliable job, you live much better in a small province capital such as Soria rather than in Madrid.

The job market is rough, I have some GENERAL observations as someone living in Spain: 1. The housing market is insane in Barcelona and many areas of madrid as well 2. Andalucía has almost NO decent jobs.. just tourism and hospitality.. except Malaga which has a growing tech industry 3. In areas of Northern spain, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, and Malaga you can earn a good salary (by spanish standards). 4 if you live outside of Barcelona/madrid and make over 1,400 a month youll live really well

It's true that wages in Spain are lower. But it is at least party balanced out by two things: 1) Lower cost of living (even in the big cities like Madrid and Barcelona, AFTER rent is paid). 2) Great public sphere. There is so much you can do in Spain whilst having little money, compared to countries like the UK where practically everything is privatised and requires some kind of entrance fee. Here in Spain you have public festivals, plazas, playas, mountains, petanca courts, football and basketball courts, all within easy reach via walking or cheap public transporrt. Even someting as simple as public benches are seriously lacking in the UK. Here they are everywhere. Of course this doesn't mean some people don't struggle, but salary is not the be all and end all to a good life. I earn less here in Spain than I would in the UK, but my life is better.

[@CarlosPerez-zf1uy]

1 lower cost of living is a lie, rents are all time high and people are unable to buy or rent nothing, that is why the stay at parents home until 30s, also great public sphere is also a lie, 6 months for a check with the doctor, half of the populations has a private insurance because otherwise you just have to wait months.

[@quentinlechasles4251]

The cost of living isn’t that low compared to other European countries. The public infrastructures are way better in France for example. ( free education, aids, free healthcare system

[@Azog150]

@@quentinlechasles4251 I don't know how good the free Spanish education system is (although I will be having kids here so will find out) - let alone compared to France. Uniiversity degrees are heavily subsidised compared to the UK. But the Spanish healthcare system is very good. It is consistently ranked one of the best healthcare systems in the world, and better than that in France. It is one of the reasons Spain now has the highest life expectancy in the world (perhaps THE ultimate indicator of quality of life). As for cost of living, I'm sure there are other cheaper countries. But even in Barcelona, a beer in a bar does not cost me more than €2.50 (at least double in France), eating out at a restaurant rarely costs much more than €20 a head for a nice meal with drinks (you're lucky to get one dish for €20 in France), it's about €1.50 for a coffee, and so on. My electricity biills are also a fraction of the price of the UK. I don't own a car or drive here because I don't need to, due to the public transport and cycling infrastructure being so good. That's another large expense removed.

[@JP-en7cc]

It depends on where you live and your professional sector. As a Junior Software developer not living in a big city i live fairly well (I live on my own and I don't have to mantain anyone ofc no children so the situation might be diferent). I make around 1.5k on 14 pays a year. It's true that buying a house is something that seems really far for young people, and we tend to rent instead. If you are still studying its common to rent a student house with more students if you don't want to live with your parents and also have a part time job. My rent is around 350€ a month and I don't waste a lot on oil since I use public transportation mostly (unless big distance in town or outside ofc). Cars are not that expensive, I've never hear anyone who knows how to save money and doesnt have a complicated finantial situation not being able to buy a car. New cars are around 30k (Seat is a pretty common branch that has this range, my car itself is a Seat León from 2019) and second hand cars are around 1k-2k if you just want something to drive. 3k-5k to get a decent car and 10k to get a cool car

I would agree! I know it may sound crazy to people outside the US but $3000 is insufficient to live in the U.S, rent is over 50% monthly pay and that’s without even spending money on frivolous things like eating a good meal out or paying for Netflix. This is just only basic necessities. If you are single with no children , Uncle Sam ( el gobierno) will raid your pay before it hits your bank account.

Surely it depends on the city, the industry, level of experience a person has, job role, many different factors. Young waiters will earn less than experienced medical surgeons, etc. Compared to the Uk where salaries can be higher (although depending on the company, age, experience, industry etc- there are lots of people on 'zero hours' contracts and people working as food couriers), property in Spain is a lot cheaper to buy, and you can find a 3 course meal for 10 euros or less, where as in the UK this will cost £20-30 and it won't be as good as the food in Spain.

[@BlackHoleSpain]

Those prices are over. Nowadays you won't find anything for less than 14-15€... and that's only Mon-Fri lunch meal. No dinners, no weekends for that price. The problem here is that skilled white-collar jobs, like an engineer or a physician, hardly get over 2500€/month. And when you're over 50K/year, you're considered a "rich" person by the Treasury, and thus taxed some confiscatory 46% of your wages, making your life even more miserable. That's why underground economy is huge over here.

[@Answersonapostcard]

@@BlackHoleSpain During my time in Spain this year I saw plenty of 'menu del diá' 10/11 euro offers. Maybe they are more expensive during high season. It is still a lot cheaper than food prices in the UK. It's very difficult to find good quality, freshly cooked food over here. Every time I go to Spain I lose weight!

@@vukasinnn sorry to say that, but you're wrong. What you're talking about is dominant (most often paid). Median is actually the middle value. Average is sum divided by number of people. Median is the value that divides values in half. Let's say that there are 5 people, earning: 1000e, 1300e, 2000e, 2500e, 3600e. Average is 2080e but the median is 2000e because it's in the middle. 50% earn less than 2000 and 50% earn more than 2000. That's why it's better than average because 70 or 80% of people could earn less than average also dominant can be the minimum wage because it's most common while other numbers can differ by 1,2,3 euros and don't count as the same. Examples: Let's say 1000e is minimum wage. People could earn: 1000, 1200, 1300, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1205, 1302, 1000, 5000, 6200, 8310, 1000, 1325, 1300, 1305, 1315, 1310 Now the average is 2059 Median is 1303,5 (we have 18 values so middle is (1302 + 1305)/2) Dominant is 1000 So 15 of 18 people earn MUCH less than average And dominant is 1000e even thou 6 people earn it, while 7 people make 1300-1325 (if it was even 1300 then 1300 should be dominant). So 1300 is closer to what most people earn...

Spain is really a beautiful country but everything is so tricky, i recently moved to Spain to work but to even open a bank account i had to have a work contract. I’ve been to almost all banks in the city with my job offer which stated my annual income and that it’s an indefinite contract but they just wouldn’t open an account. Without a bankaccount i couldn’t rent a house and without a house I obviously couldn’t work because I had nowhere to stay as I can’t live in a hotel. Fortunately I was lucky to find a bank that would open an account with only the job offer and shortly after I found a house after going to every immo in the city and getting the answer the flats are rented from october to may due to the city being a touristic place where the flats are rented daily or weekly for a higher price. So if you want to move to Spain be prepared for all the frustration. I’ve been living in Spain for a month now and I can say it was worth all the effort.

@@nikitazogas3676 It used to be "waaaaay" cheaper, but these days people go on vacations abroad because polish prices are so high. I was recently in Norway, some prices were 2x higher (e.g. eating out) but I did not have an impression that is "waaaaay" more expensive than in Poland (at least major Polish cities, smaller ones are a different thing).

España me encanta pero no se me ocurriria vivir alla, es muy dificil empezar y no se gana dimero, me jubilaria con gusto, eso si. Soy chofer de camion en USA y mi salaries neto es de unos 6000 dollars al mes, esonen España ni soñarlo.

[@merylp1570]

También ten en cuenta q aquí el nivel de vida es muy distinto a USA, es decir aquí con 6000 al mes eres rico un alquiler promedio son 600€ y quizás la comida de un mes 100€ como mucho (para una persona)

[@NodeNomad]

100 por persona al mes como mucho en comida? dónde?

[@miquelcm5136]

Pero tu trabajas para vivir o vives para trabajar. No todo es el sueldo, lo importante es la calidad de vida que tienes en cada país con un trabajo normal, y en europa (no este) se vive mejor que es USA

No puedes comparar un país social capitalista como España donde la deuda aumenta anualmente, los desfavorecidos tienen seguridad, educación y sanidad (en su pretensión) , con un pais autoritario donde la seguridad depende del arma que tengas en casa , los colegios tienen puertas de seguridad por si entran a tirotear y la sanidad depende de lo que desenfundes al año (7500$ anuales aprox, si no tienes jodete). Las Universidades en España valen entorno 1500€ publicas y 15000€ privadas Usa tiene un minimo de 20.000$ para las publicas. Comparar dos paises por solo lo que se percibe económicamente es muy sesgado. Ahora voy a decir unas palabras de mucho valor: Gazpachito andaluz ,Ternasco asado aragonés, Fabada asturiana, Sobrasada Balear, Papas arrugadas con mojo Canario, Cocido montañés Cantábrico, Cochinillo asado de Castilla, botillo Leones, Queso manchego, Paella de Cataluña, Migas extremeñas, Pulpo a la gallega, Zarangollo Murciano ,Pimientos del piquillo Navarros, Bacalao al pil pil (version PaisVasco), Patatas a la riojana , Fideuà Valenciana, Pastela de cordero Ceutillense. Como entenderas los chofers en España no estamos por el dinero. Estamos por la calidad de la comida independientemente de donde te tengas que desplazar y la seguridad de dejar a la familia en un entorno seguro y que los chiquillos tengan posibilidad de estudiar lo que quieran. Además si hay algo injusto montas huelga y te escuchan en su medida. Como dijo nuestro antiguo y emblematico presidente Rajoy: "E.T.A es una gran nación, España perdón, es una gran Nación"

Its crazy how low salaries are in spain compared to real estate prices and daily living costs

[@dragosdinu7130]

Is it normal to refer to the net monthly salary in general in Spain? Since in other countries, when asked about your salary, the default is to consider the annual gross salary.

[@Dario989898]

I do not think I've never spoken about monthly net, but always about monthly gross. Rarely yearly. I'm from Spain btw.

[@dragosdinu7130]

@@Dario989898 thanks for your reply. So these salaries from the video are gross? (If not explicitly specified otherwise)

[@pejo620]

I always refer to net salary here in Spain, and most people I know do it like that (and if they refer to gross salary, they specify it's gross, not net). Why would you tell your gross salary? It's not really what you are making. Also consider that different countries and different income levels may have completely different income tax %, so it doesn't make much sense to refer to gross salary

[@imnobodywhoareyouu]

In Argentina we also speak about salary saying the montly payment

[@discinfiltrator]

Yes, this is completely normal in Spain
