Fragen Is 3k a liveable salary for Essen?
I am planning to move to an employer located in Essen from abroad and trying to get an understanding of the living costs.
I have calculated I’ll be making around 3k netto. Is that a salary good enough to live in Essen? I have read online that in some cities rents are expensive to make a good-sounding salary not enough at the end of the month. So looking here to get some realistic baseline.
I’m a single person in my mid-20s and I don’t prefer to neither share my room and if possible nor apartment. Considering that, would I still be able to build a decent life with that salary?
If not, could you suggest other towns, from where I can travel to Essen a couple of times a week?
