I'd like to share some insights about the cost of living in the UK. I think this topic is interesting to many people. All the figures are highly individual and can vary significantly from household to household. All prices are in British pounds (the current exchange rate is 1 pound = 91.71 rubles).

Overall, living here is not cheap, and it's significantly more expensive than in Russia. Here are some typical monthly essential expenses:
1. Rent - £1500
2. Council tax (property tax) - £215
3. Gas + electricity (winter period) - £270
4. Water - £40
5. Internet - £35
6. Mobile phone - £20
7. Home insurance - £15
8. Amazon Prime subscription - £9
9. TV License - £30
10. Gym membership - £22
Total: £2156 (approximately 198,000 rubles)
And this is just the essential spending. This is the amount you need to pay every month.

In addition to this, there are expenses for food, clothing, and entertainment. In my opinion, to have a minimally comfortable life, you should have an income of at least £3000 (approximately 275,000 rubles).

What about you? I'm especially interested to hear from those who live in other countries 🙃
