When people think about studying or staying abroad, Armenia might come to their minds and they might ask how much it costs to live there. This mostly depends on your lifestyle and where you want to stay, but most people would say that it’s unbelievable cheap country.
On average, it can be said that living expenses are significantly lower if compared to other countries. Armenia has to offer a lot, with an incredibly low cost of living in an excelling country, but only if you live modest lives.
Restaurants
People interested in eating out will be glad to hear that a meal at a restaurant can cost under USD3 and the juices, domestic beers and wines are also extremely cheap as well.
Living in this country and eating daily in restaurants is not very hard for the tourists, as the prices are quite reasonable compared to the prices in Europe or America.
Markets
Fruit and vegetable lovers would feel satisfied to hear that the prices are inexpensive that the cost of food at the local markets is almost negligible. When you have a job, the prices at the local markets are based on to the average salary of the workers and they are rather inexpensive, so that everyone can afford food for their families.
Transportation
Armenia is a country where you can live well even though you do not have much money to spend. Public transport is very cheap and every person can afford it. Gasoline is also rather cheap here, so that you can afford driving there, too, especially if you are earning your wage out of the country.
Utilities
Unlike food, utilities and the Internet are not so cheap in Armenia. You have to spare at least USD 70 a month for basic utilities, such as heating, water and electricity, and they are necessary. On the other hand, the country has very clean and rather cheap phone lines.
Clothing and shoes
Life in the country is cheaper comparing to some developed countries. However, the prices of clothing and shoes are considered rather high in relation to the minimum wages. If you earn USD160 per month, it would be difficult to afford a pair of Nike running shoes which will take you half of the paye.
Rent Per Month
Living out of the center would be much affordable as the costs can easily be cut down by half or more in comparison to the bigger cities. If you decide not to spend so much money on rent, you can live cheaply outside of the capital city.
On the other hand, the rent for a very spacious apartment in the center of the capital city Yerevan costs approximately USD 200, which again is not expensive if you get salary from another region.
