Groningen is the main municipality as well as the capital city of the Groningen province in the.
There are a couple of things that make Groningen special, the first one being that, for Dutch standards Groningen is a large city, yet relatively far away from any other city.
This means that the city has everything you need, and people living in areas around it, consider this the nearest “big city”.
The amount of money you’ll spend in this city depends on you, but if you really want to save every penny, the smallest amount you’ll need is around 500$.
Eating out is definitely cheaper in Groningen than in other major cities in the Netherlands, but, still, it is recommendable that you check the prices standing in front of restaurants before eating out. Eating a meal for two in a mid-range restaurant could cost you around 65$, while the inexpensive ones don’t go under 16$. You can get a round of good old domestic beer for 5$ per person.
MARKETS
Food costs in Groningen won’t set you back too much as you can get cheap and fresh produce on the market (at the Vismarkt), or at the Aldi (budget supermarket). The city in general is considerable cheaper than other major cities in the Netherlands such as Amsterdam. If you’re super smart about your food, shopping for food in markets is a good idea.
TRANSPORTATION
Although the cities of Netherlands are excellently organized when it comes to transportation and Groningen has plenty of transport links to other areas, most people living here don’t even use public transport and their transport costs are down to zero, because everyone just uses bikes or go on foot – it’s the norm. You can get a used, cheap bike for less than 200$.
UTILITIES (MONTHLY)
Depending on the size of your apartment, monthly utilities, including heating, cooling, electricity and gas could cost between 100$ and 300$ a month. However, for an apartment of about 85m2, your bills would amount up to 170$. Keep in mind that the gas bill goes up in winter, from November to February. Internet is expensive as well, amounting up to around 40$ a month.
SPORTS & LEISURE
In Groningen, attending fitness clubs and classes is much less expensive than in other cities in the Netherlands. If you want to go to a fitness club in Groningen and get in shape, the fee will be around 27$ a month, or 15$ for an hour of renting a tennis court, which is really cheap for the Netherlands. If you want to watch a movie here, however, expect it to cost over 11$.
CLOTHING & SHOES
Groningen is a great place to go shopping in the Netherlands. It has many shops and shopping malls, but before you enter any of them, be prepared that the prices are high even for European standards. In Groningen, quality jeans cost almost 100$, as do quality sneakers, while lighter pieces of clothing are only 40$.
RENT PER MONTH
It is widely known that the most expensive aspect of living in the Netherlands is rent and Groningen is no exception! In this city, however, rent is far cheaper than in, for example, Amsterdam. Here, you cannot find an apartment to rent for less than 650$, and if you’re looking for one in the center, than count on giving 850$.
How Does the Average Person Spend Their Money in Groningen?
Rent is so cheap in Groningen in comparison with other cities in the Netherlands that it’s one of the rare cities where the biggest part of people’s salaries gets spent on food, not on rent.
Food is definitely the biggest expense for the people of Groningen.
The next one is rent, but, again compared to other cities’ rent fees, Groningen is very cheap.
Transportation and restaurants are next on the list, since they are also pretty costly, given the fact that even the inexpensive restaurants don’t serve food for less than 15$.
Groningen: Average Salary, Minimum Wage & Mortgages
People in Groningen earn considerable amounts of money, and this is actually their normal standard of living.
With an average wage reaching 2000$, citizens of Groningen have enough money to cover all their expenses, afford most of the things they want and need, and still live comfortable.
Of course, those that are renting have a harder time since they’re spending a lot more money.
The minimum wage doesn’t fall far behind the average monthly salary, so citizens of Groningen shouldn’t have problems making ends meet.
“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
