How much money you need to live a good life in Malta?

[@MysticScapes]

Hey, we live in a global society, whether we like it or not. Malta, like many other countries, operates in a free market where opportunities are open to all, not assigned by entitlement. Blaming foreigners for "taking jobs" is a simplistic and defensive mindset. I've seen the same rhetoric in the US, Germany, Denmark, and Malaysia-Malta isn't unique in this regard. Over the years, I've learned to see this for what it is and not take it too seriously.

[@WinstonEdgoose]

Most Maltese don't even earn 2k net as managers in Maltese companies. I think you are missing a point, when you say there are people earning 10 20 30k a month.... they are surely remote and being paid from aboard. The majority of Maltese work in Maltese companies, it's another world and wage.

[@ds5379]

On food expenses: we are a couple paying mortgage on our own property. Grocery expenses: we get by with 300 euros a month joint. On top of that, we might get a delivery once a week and eat out once a week. But I dont consider eating out all the time "living a good life" - the best food you can eat is the food that you cook.

[@VickiChadwick]

Thank you for a very informative video Alex. Obviously I don't live in Malta, so I really can't comment on how much you need to have a good life there, however having lived in three countries & travelled extensively over the past 5 years, I can honestly say since 2021 everything including rent, food, fuel, & the cost of living in general has gone up tremendously in every country in the world! I currently live in the UK having moved from Australia in 2021, & both these countries people are struggling financially! We all have very different interpretations of a decent life. To some that may mean eating out five nights a week (or 7😂), but to others they prefer to stay home, have friends around & have a BBQ or dinner party, which is much cheaper than eating out! The fabulous thing about life is that we all need to do what makes us happy, & therefore it's important to try your best to earn enough money to live a happy & fulfilled lifestyle. Probably doesn't help with your question about Malta, but as a more mature (older 😘) woman we find that our priorities in life change as we get older, therefore what you need to earn to have a decent life changes also! You are a Superstar, & thank you for everything you do to help other people my friend ..xx👏🙏❤️❤️

I work in the public sector.i earn 1400 a month. I have my own appartment, so i dont have rent. I have a car . My life is go to work, after i go home and once a month i go to eat out because i cannot afford. So i think i am existing not lliving.

[@edumachdo99]

Watching this I get your point about living comfortably and yet realize I’m quite fortunate for spending less and being able to save without sharing the apartment (I would go crazy if I did! 😅). Currently living in the south and paying less than 1k for an apartment (not a studio), 300-400€ for groceries, 20€ for unlimited phone plan and a bit of upkeep expenses for the car. Fortunately for me I don’t like to go out and party that much ahahahaha, but still I eat out approximately once a week, sometimes (rarely) have food delivered and travel home 3 times a year. You don’t need 4k net to do this! But also, I definitely agree that you shouldn’t come to Malta on the average national wage. If you come here, spend a little, enjoy life or you will go crazy. If you just want to save, save, save, there are better countries in western/northern europe to do it (you can even visit Malta from there).

[@DanielDlabaja-xf3dx]

Hi everyone thank you for a great video. I just moved to Malta from Iceland. Iam currently looking into jobs and for my surprise going thru them I can't believe that many jobs are paid around only 1000 eur a month such as restaurant personal, construction workers, electricians, welders , solar panel installers , del8very drivers et. all making pretty much the same ( minimum wage ) so my question is how can you survive if my rent is 900 a month or what you all do making 2,3 or 4000 a month? Thank you

[@Juventinu]

Replies to your questions at the end of the video: I'm Maltese. While Malta is definitely overpopulated and the construction industry is a racket, having foreigners here is great for economic growth. They help sustain our economy, hospitals, catering services, construction and more. If all foreigners had to leave tomorrow, Malta's public services would collapse, and we would have bigger problems than overpopulation. I also believe that having a mix of foreigners among us has helped broaden our opinions and perspectives about how we view life and others from different cultures, religions, and ethnicities. This diversity brings challenges, such as pressure on housing which is evident. However, these can be addressed through thoughtful urban planning, which is definitely missing here. The destruction of the environment continues unabated due to this. Also, the modern world is no longer just countries with borders; it's one global country. As a small island nation, Malta's prosperity is intrinsically linked to global trade and cooperation. We all depend on each other, and those who say otherwise are jumping on the populist bandwagon that foreigners are the problem, when they are not!

They are getting flooded with supposedly with refugees and once they get there straight on government benefits. Also these people are coming from Islamic countries so why they these countries accept their fellow religious people. You know why? Most of those countries are worse and they won’t get any help from that government. Do you watch Alex in Malta channel? Have a look at it . Lately he interviewed some foreigners and guess what! Some of them live on less then €100 a month . Where do you think the rest of the money is going? They are sending it to their own country and so the money is not spent in Malta.

That last comment hits the spot Alex. THIS IS EXACTLY what all foreigners feel whenever Maltese people comment that they feel like we are stealing their jobs. When the Maltese employees in our company are the laziest of everyone in the company. Im not saying all Maltese employees were lazy but everyone who comes in late, leaves exactly on time (not a problem), sleeps on the job, watches youtube while working were all Maltese. just saying. If they cant keep up to the foreign nationals' work ethics then i dont think they have the right to complain that jobs are being stolen from them.

Whoever does not want to work always blames others They also say this in Denmark, that foreigners took our work, to the point that a Danish journalist presented a program about the work that most foreigners do, which was working in the field collecting the crop. They were all foreigners from Lithuania, Poland and different countries. They hired Danes in the same job and these were the people. Those who receive assistance from the state start working for only half an hour and begin to complain of back pain and that they are sick. so many lies and arguments I was seeing all this on TV, then the journalist asked the employer why you hire only foreigners and not Danes, knowing that he is Danish. He said the Danes are lazy and create excuses so that they do not do this hard work. He said if it were not for the foreigners, I would have closed the business. And also those who work in room service hotels and other jobs that require effort Most of the work that requires the effort of foreigners is done here. Thank God, the truth has become clear The same goes for Malta, I think foreigners took their jobs, according to what they say!!

The Danes fear competition if foreigners minds are smarter than theirs. I work at the university. There are a lot of 88% students from different parts of the world. They suffer from the Danes at the university. They always make them feel that you are outsiders. Even at work, that's why Denmark remains as it is, because they are introverts and do not allow minds from all over the world to work for them. Sweden is much better than them, industrial Sweden, while Denmark is a complex, introverted agricultural country. Look at the streets, bridges and buildings in Sweden and compare it with Denmark, knowing that both are Scandinavian countries, but there is a big difference between them.

Here's my two cents... If you live in a big country like I do in the States, foreigners coming in is no problem. We have room to spread out. Our country was founded with many different cultures. With Malta, the island is so tiny that even a few thousand people coming in a year makes a huge difference, for the worse I'm afraid. Most of the people and my family who live in Malta say the same thing: Malta cannot handle the influx of so many people. It doesn't have the infrastructure. There is no green space. Too many people equals higher rents, no Maltese can afford a home anymore, the roads are jammed, too much dust in the air from all the construction. It used to be quite peaceful but the last 15-20 yrs is unbearable. With so many other nice countries to live, why come to Malta and be packed like sardines.

There are months that i can live with 1000-1200 or even less. There are months that i spend almost all salary (but is very rare), if i decide to schedule some holidays abroad or buy some expensive art supplies. It depends on your life standards, i was used to live in Portugal where bills are super expensive and salaries are low, so i am a bit used to look at prices and try to make it stretch somehow - but this is not a good thing sometimes. I am a lonesome person, but i like to be like that - Currently I rent a flat in Gozo, i eat at home (i love to cook and i confess that quality of the food here in Restaurants is overall bad - i always pass super bad after eating in restaurants here), i use public transports, i practice athletics alone, I dont enjoy to just go out with friends without a very good plan (find it nonsense), I like to swim on the beach (a hobbie that doesnt cost money), I avoid crowds and concerts, I love to create arts, perfumes, fashion and plants (thats where i spend a bit more - but i usually buy things on sale (except art supplies))... probably some people with my salary would already left Malta, but it also depends on your life, your hobbies,... Considering rents are much cheaper in Gozo, I would say, for those who really live in Malta, around 2300eur net, to have some margin to save or spend in something else. But i am far from earning this salary..

[@MC-2997]

I don't think foreigners have had a direct impact but it's supply and demand where the impact was had. Back when I was still in college here rent was just about to start going up, which at the time was 320 per month for 3 bed 2 bathrooms with view in mellieha. When the economy opened up to foreigners the island started to get a bit too full I think, around 3/4 years ago and we somehow just kept piling up, with the same property now going for 1.7k around 2 years ago which equates to around 5.5 times an increase. As someone that rents but is finally (hopefully) moving into my own property, it pains me to see when someone posts like, oh our budget for a 1 bedroom 1.5k or something because that incentivises the rent to go up. Went on a bit of a tangent there but this directly links with supply and demand for housing, supply and demand for business who will use TCNs at a horrible pay to run their businesses with such high prices; maximum profits? and this is why some of the locals dislike and feel they are taking jobs because to pay maybe 1/2 euro less per hour of what already is a shit wage, someone will step in, usually TCN to do the job which is exploitation at its finest. I think to live on this island a decent life, single, no kids, at least 2.2 minimum. I define decent as being able to do what I want but with limits and still have some savings. You can't eat meat everyday and live off wolt and save either if you do not have the funds. I remember very clearly because this was my mid teens from before we got the influx of foreigners to after. It's government and business who then fuel this us vs. them and how these few loud mouthed ignorant react to anything relating a foreigner.

I don't agree... a big pack of chicken at Eurospin (Mosta) that would last 1 person 4 meals costs 6 euros. So that is like 1.50 euros for meat per meal... then you add something else (salad or rice or potatoes) and the meal goes up to 3 euros. That would be 21 euros a week for 1 meal a day including meat. You still have 14 euros left per week which means 2 euros a day for cereal (breakfast) and sandwich (lunch). It is doable at 35 euros a week if you are very careful.

Lets say you have a company that is paying 20/30/40% taxes in Italy or whatever.. you coming to Malta and you can pay as little as 5%. You saved 5/6 figures in taxes… who cares if rent is 2k per month when you saved 50k in taxes (example) Or paying a Carbonare €18, or over €20 for some calamari fritti. Obviously there are place where prices are cheaper , In Gozo for example or not so much touristic places in Malta. After all this.. would i move to Malta again? meh! People are really really nice and friendly! Its a place where i feel safe wherever i go! Rents are quite high but this happens wherever you move in Europe. The bad thing that i really don’t like… food is terrible in many places and overpriced

Everybody talks about how much they spend a month but nobody talks about if its even worth it Tbh its not worth the prices that you have to pay here compared to the salaries that you can earn here, never seen a country inside the EU where they want to sell you copper for the price of gold if you know what I mean

[@23o8idlnqdolkqd]

Travel to the Baltic states, or Bulgaria, you will he shocked how little you can buy there for the same money you spend in Malta considering the salaries are even lower than here. All are the EU countries.

[@blabla89520]

Alex, the people you are talking about that make over 10k a month are a minority in Malta, please be realistic.

Yh his young lady must be living on lentils and one chapati per day. She must be bathing once a week and does not buy enough soap and shampoo...

[@keredyna]

If you want give examples, tell about how much you earn and spend, all what you said is just conjecture. All of your videos don't really tell much.

[@toga747]

Malta was a better place to live when it was not part of the EU. Malta should follow its long term ally - UK and leave the EU.

[@libatalklieb5793]

I cold never understand why Malta wanted to be an EUSSR member. The horrible arshole wonder lion in Germany dictating to them

[@so_0lit93]

[@so_0lit93]

@@OFF_SPOT40 yes

Whoever says the numbers less than 3000 per month per person might have issues with basic math and control of their budget in long term. Because if we count only a month as an average month where no parties, birthdays, accidents, visits to dentist happening then it might be okay. But I can say that I started to live normal life, without loans, looking normal, have a normal phone, laptop and the most important I FEEL SAFE, this number is 5k after tax. If you have wife and kid just multiply by 2 - then you are fine. P.S.: no matter how much you make in Malta, you will always be served with low quality, with people with no manners. Having this money in Eastern Europe - you are the king of the world, having top service and treated as normal personal.

[@MonuKashyap-yy1sm]
