Is this a decent amount to live off? I don't need a lavish lifestyle - I'm happy to live in a shared house / just rent a room and live modestly but I don't want to be struggling month-month. I've seen Hong Kong rent is very expensive, can I expect to find something in the outskirts for less than 10k?
Hii everyone! Just wanted to say a bit about the situation I am in. I met my partner whilst volunteering in Greece, he lives there, I live in the UK. I would love to live/settle down in Greece though getting a visa/job in the EU post brexit is near impossible these days. A couple months ago, I got a job in Mexico, I am starting in December and my contract is 1.5 years.
I accepted this job offer having not seen my partner for 6months, obviously we have talked about it a lot, he is very supportive of me, living and working far away from home is something that I have always wanted to experience. Yesterday, I returned from Greece after visiting him and I am feeling sooo sad about this decision. I feel like it's one of those things that will feel hard doing it but if I don't I would regret it in the future. But idk! When i'm with him all I want is to stay there and be nowhere else. Of course we will visit each other, though neither of us are high earners (he is a chef, I am a teacher) and mexico is very far away and flights are expensive. He is originally from Sierra Leone and we plan to visit his family Christmas time 2027, I'm not sure how much we'll be able to see each other otherwise.
At the end of the day life is about the people in it first!?!? Not where you are?! We're both pretty certain that we will make it through my period in Greece, and we will live together soon after and live a long happy life together. We generally do distance very well, we miss each other deeply but it's not really a point of strain in our relationship. We have a lot of respect and trust in each other and we really view it as being in it for the long run.
Not even really sure what i'm looking for by making this post! I guess advice? Testimonies from people who have been through this? Anything
