Numerous calculations are made before choosing the ideal place for relocating, as it is very important to know in advance whether you can afford living there.
The answer to the question how much it costs to live in Bogota highly depends on who you are, what your habits are and whether you are a savvy person ready to cut some unnecessary expenses so as to put some money aside.
Living in Bogota would be more expensive than in some smaller cities in Colombia, but you will enjoy the advantages of the capital.
To achieve the modest lifestyle which will allow you eating out once or twice a month with the whole family, you will have to earn above the average wage.
Inexpensive restaurants are available all over the city, but the quality of dishes cannot be compared to that in more luxurious ones.
MARKETS
Food is necessary for either of those citizens who like eating out and those who prepare it at home and it takes the most of monthly budget.
In general, domestic groceries are affordable and if bought in the large supermarkets, the savings on it will be even greater.
TRANSPORTATION
If you consider paying more for the rent so as to be closer to your work and save some money on commuting, it does not have to be the case.
Actually, transportation here is inexpensive and you can commute whole month for $35.
Gasoline is also reasonably priced.
UTILITIES (MONTHLY)
It is easy to figure out that people with the lower salaries in Bogota would consider utilities prices high, while those who have higher wages would take it as inexpensive.
All in all, they are expenses that have to paid monthly, and around 8% of the budget is given for this.
SPORTS & LEISURE
To give insights into some of the means of entertainment of Bogota, which is important part of young people’s lives, it is worth noting that the cinema ticket prices are more than affordable.
The similar situation is with fitness clubs and tennis court rents that are not too expensive as in some other cities.
CLOTHING & SHOES
Not surprisingly, clothing items are more expensive in the capital cities than in some smaller ones.
Bogota has equal apparel prices that can be found in European countries and people who like shopping for clothes would not be much satisfied with the designer clothes prices.
RENT PER MONTH
Being that Bogota is the capital city it is expected that the rents are higher.
In relation to the other places in Colombia, they do not differ a lot.
The prices are higher around $100 per month.
If you choose living out of the city center, your savings will be greater.
How Does the Average Person Spend Their Money in Bogota?
The actual spendings of people differ a lot from person to person.
If you like living closer to the city center, having meals at expensive restaurants and go to the movies frequently, your expenses will be much higher than of those people who do not visit he gym, drink a cappuccino from time to time in local cafes and cook at home.
Transportation is not too expensive, but is obligatory to be able to get to work, so pretty much of the budget goes for it.
Bogota does not boast high salaries, and the standard of living of its citizens is not so high, compared to other more developed cities, but for foreigners who settle there and earn their salaries at home, Bogota would be ideal destination.
If you will look for a job here, make sure to earn above the average salary to be able to cover all the expenses, as the rent will take the most of the budget.
Buying a house here is an option, for saving some money on the rent, but the mortgage interest rates are not affordable at all.
“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片
