I live in Zagreb, expensive and always crowded, but Zaprešić or Velika gorica, about 20 km from Zagreb, excellently connected by bus and train with Zagreb (about 15-20 minutes), are cheaper and quieter cities Croatia is a very safe country, you can walk alone in the city in the middle of the night, no one will look at you.....but idiots exist all over the world if someone provokes you, walk away and don't look back, don't try to explain anything to them...like I said, there are idiots all over the world If your neighbor has a garden or orchard, poultry, feel free to ask them if they want to sell you something, they will give you better quality food than in the store A good neighbor will always be the first help you will have!

Good for him! Cool glimpse into an interesting option.

[@paulz6491]

Great video. Did he mention how much his rent was (I may have missed it) I ask because thats typically this highest monthly expense and it would help me to imagine my budget. Thanks

[@gerwingarcia2420]

I dont think most people here is interested on his life in Croatia. Tell us how'd you get those writing and freelance jobs for $4000/month buddy! 😁

[@udishomer5852]

All his clients are American, and he is culturally adept to finding and handling these clients.

[@azerko]

Apparently he is using Wise card-account. Great product.

As a Croatian let me ask, where is this great lunch for 10USD. Also, why are they charging him for the health insurance so much cheaper than the local workers have to pay, even those who are on minimum wage.

[@adrianaloborec2205]

I pay less insurance now that I'm self-employed than when I was employed, even if I have a bigger income. Cheap lunches - I guess not many, but can certainly be found here and there (anything is probably great from his perspective; just about any food in Europe is much tastier than food in USA)

[@samelmudir]

its a travellers health insurance. when i moved to australia it was around $700 a year for the cheapest plan. depends on where you are going.

Dude!!! come to Turkey, you can probably live on half of that budget and easy to get a residency as well for a year or longer😎

I want to move to turkey from Australia , I have an income of $5000 , can I easily live in Turkey ???

[@roseburke2714]

Turkey is amazing. It's been since 1989 since we moved back to the USA. The economy was great then. The people of Turkey are the best. Family and friends are very important in the culture.

It is similar, the only difference is they don't have access to Adriatic sea so you can forget walking along the coast like in Split! :)

His parents must've done something right. He seems to be embracing those things that will be increasingly important for young people coming up in today's challenging environment. Stay out of debt. Maintain a healthy and ever-growing savings account. Keep your possessions lean. Keep your body lean. Stay healthy. DON'T HAVE CHILDREN TOO EARLY. At 40 years old, I really wish I could go back and set myself up more like this fellow.

[@slavusmaximus4583]

47$ a day? That is around 12 times the minimum wage in Croatia.

[@tinthings314]

Please dont come to my country Croatia and do this. Life is unaffordable for us croatians and if everyone does this it will be make inflation and more unaffordable for us

[@thinkforyourself9334]

How much would it take a month for a local to have an above average life?

[@St-ik5zb]

If everyone does this we will all rent out our homes to random americans and go live in slavonia. I get your fear, but there is a small number of visas available for this kind of thing, they can't influence our life that much.

@El Truco it is happened already..Whole coast of Adriatic in Croatia is too expensive for Croatians now. Our ancestral towns on Adriatic coast is too expensive now to live sadly...

I've lived all over the world... the price of living somewhere has very little to do with your quality of life. If you can't speak the native language, then 47$ a day is irrelevant. I lived in France once and struggled to integrate and the money did not help me. It's easy to glorify the lives of others.
