I mean low-cost is always relative, it definitely won’t be as cheap as, let’s say, some Eastern European cities, or Bangkok. But still, relative to most Western capitals, the overall cost of living in Berlin is quite low, especially if you rarely eat out.
Rent is the only thing that’s become pretty high in recent years but if you are lucky/utilize some connections you still might be able to find something reasonably priced. (I know several people that pay like 400-500€ a month for a room in a shared flat.)
Is there a way to live low-cost in Berlin, short of extreme deprivation?
