- What does it cost to live in Turkey?
In this episode we explain what it costs to live in Turkey using the current exchange rates (note: exchange rates are always subject to change).
With more and more people considering moving to Turkey (on a permanently or temporary basis), we thought we would show you what the estimated costs of living are!
This episode gives you an insight into supermarket shopping, utility bills, health care, internet, house rental and vehicles.
The monthly minimum wage in Turkey is approximately £250/$350 which is 2,826 Turkish lira, which makes the cost of living incredibly expensive if your only source of income is Turkish lira at the moment!!

Hi Dickie. Portugal is where I have an interest. I was born in Glasgow, but live in Australia. If I was able to leave or travel to Europe, I would lose my pension, which appears to cover living in Turkey. But there are many other issues than costs. Human rights is one, and Australia is terrible for people who can't drive in my rural region. What UK had, as the Beeching cuts to rail, it is positively evil what is going on in my area. It could be for coal seam gas under the railway track.
The state and federal government are offering over $100Million for four local councils to rip up the railway tracks for cycling paths that elite business folk and retired councillors wish to use. All major parties [yes, even Labor] support oil and road related corporations. I moved into this rural region for less stress and for public transport in 1989, but from 1990, they have stealthily sabotaged the region's chance to move back into the 20th century. 24% have disabilities, most people I know have mental illness, and the youth are leaving.
Australia has grown into a very corrupt place, but 52% of NSW call themselves 'middle class' and have no idea of the problems the other half have.
Yes, we get great pensions, if we own our homes. But in small rural towns, with the mental health problems, it is terribly difficult to get builders or trades people, who often rip us off. A builder was supposed to build me a studio last winter [July], but just didn't bother to say he changed his mind, as covid has brought many out into country areas. We are very socially isolated here. Some buy here then resell in six months when they find out how backward towards a third world country we are going - if we can't get about anywhere without driving. My health is making this place incredibly difficult.
@@alaindubois1505 Greetings from Ponte de Lima, Portugal...I have friends in Australia and yes one of the Major thing's brought up is affordable housing...I've met folks from all over and walks of life who went to Australia because of the pay...I'm confused how you would lose your pension by moving abroad?...There are many folk's from all-over the world living in Portugal on pensions, investments and etc...Every country has pros and con's...I'm originally from the U.S. and have lived and worked in many countries around the World...Here in Portugal the communities have turned old railway lines, called Ecopistas into beautiful hiking and biking trail's to benefit everyone, and there simply amazing! The World right now is not in harmony not only in Nature, but with human being's...The Energy put forth is the Energy returned...Not all but some, including Governments and etc...Do not have good energy and they are not doing what is best for the planet and it's inhabitants...In a nutshell it's not sustainable...You are in control of you're happiness and Wellbeing, period...Get Busy Living...Blessings and Positive Energy from Portugal...🇵🇹🤙✌🤘😉
Exactly, if I had bills as mentioned in this video, I couldn't afford to live here. My (Turkish) utility bill is a fraction of what Mick is quoting.
I live in İzmir, Most of Turkish people prefer beans , lentils and veggies for daily food, they avoid eating out, they prefer buying dairy products, cheese and olive oil from the villages of relatives or friends' relatives they might know, which are way cheaper than market prices. That helps to cut down the expenses.

As a retired Brit living in Turkey, with my own home and a modest pension income, I must agree with the question - How does the average Turk survive on about 3,500 lira per month?
Most working Turks rent their homes, have children, electricity, water, food bills and Mobile phones. I doubt I could live on that but so many do. Most of their shopping is done at the local bazars and diet seems to consist mainly of bread, fruit and veg, since meat, as you mention, is relatively expensive.
I have never attempted to quantify my monthly expenses, but enjoying a tipple, cigarettes, and being a car owner, I am sure it is well in excess of the average turkish income.
This has been compounded in the last couple of years by the lack of work opportunities related to the drop in tourism due to Covid. It hurts to see so many struggling.
Touristic countries are all like that. 🇹🇷, 🇨🇺, 🇻🇳, 🇬🇷 all of themhave financial issues.TR and GR could get along like how W. Europeans and N./S. Americans do but if you read their history book which are sold to young students to inscribe in their minds,you can understand why they want to ⚔️ eachother to death.
How much do you earn a month?
@@metehankanmaz8805 That is a rather personal question, but more tham 3500 lira
its basic, no social life, no travel, second hand pc and telephone, and live in house 5-6 people. for example my parents havent abroad, even another city.

Turkey is a great country with incredibly friendly people. Turkish products have high quality as they are grown in Turkey;locally produced and organic.

Kiyosaki as my late husband would say have achieved an incredible feat in the stock market. He turned thousands to billions, and have made a lot of people wealthy in the process. I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.....

Prices still seem in line with when my wife and i used to visit Turkey every year in the late 90s. My one lasting memory on costs was in the restaurants all the "tourist" restaurants were nice, and at the time about £10 a head. We then found a "local" restaurant which was down a backstreet in what seemed to be someone's front garden, just Formica tables, full of local people eating. You just got the set menu, no choice but varied from day to day. It was by far the best food we found and even with drinks was only a couple of quid each. We always just left £10 for the two of us each visit, the owners loved us and kept trying to give us money back but i always said its the best food we could find please spend it on your grandkids as that would make us happy. Lovely country and lovely people TY for the videos and memories :)
Where was the garden restaurant? Which town?

For tourists prices are most probably the same because of the rate of exchange. However if you are local and earn Turkish Lira, oh man good luck..
@@mickandtrudie Bahsettikleri yer muhtemelen bir ''esnaf lokantası'' diye tahmin ediyorum. Her ilde, her ilçede kısacası ülkenin her yerinde esnaf lokantası vardır. Çoğu restoranın aksine buralarda yerel halkın ''ev yemeği'' dediği türde yiyecekler bulunur. Biz buna ''sulu yemek'' veya ''anne yemeği'' de deriz. Eğer çok esnaf lokantası gezerseniz en güzel ev yemeklerini, çorbaları ve benzeri yiyecekleri bulabilir, yiyebilirsiniz. Tabii ki her esnaf lokantası aynı kalitede değildir. Bazıları çok güzelken bazıları o kadar iyi olmayabilir. Şu an durumlardan dolayı çoğu yer ya paket servisle çalışıyor ya da kapalı. Eğer açık bir esnaf lokantası bulursanız gitmenizi tavsiye ederim. Çoğu restoranın menüsünde yer almayan leziz yemekleri yiyebilirsiniz.
@@SodaCover The same for locals in other countries. It's $25 to visit some museums in NY and the locals do not go. They rely on tourists too.
Adam minumum hesaplamasına bile restoran,seyahat,araba kiralama,sosyal hayat gibi şeyler eklemiş, bizimkiler ise nasıl ölmeyiz hesabı yapıyorlar buna da asgari diyorlar...En acı olan tarafı ise bu asgariye bile razı olup iş bulamayanlar var :(
21 yaşındayım iş miş yok. Beğensem de yok beğenmesem de yok. Kocaeli gibi bir ilde hiç yok. Eskiden kafelerde garsonluk yapar paramızı çıkartırdık. Şimdi COVID diye diye ya kepenk kapattılar ya da işçi almayı durdurdular. Onlar ne yapsın? Fakat biz ne yapalım? Tek bulabildiğim iş Dilko'da eğitim vermek. Memur gibi gidip geleceğim, aylık 1000₺ gibi bir fiyata tekabül eden bir ödeme alacağım. Sonra "yükselecekmişim." Buranın boş pozisyonlarını hep arkadaşlarım boşalttı. Hiçbiri yükselemedi. İl boyunca dil okullarını gezip işten çıkarılana kadar 1000₺ gibi bir ücret almaya razı oluyorlar, hem de rezil şartlar altında. Bitti, bu ülke, bu insanlar, her şey bitti
İstanbul bayrampaşadayım, asgarinin yarısına çalışıyorum, 20 yaşındayım
Durumları, ülkeleri, yaşam şekillerini, bazı hususları karıştırırsak elbette çorba olur, işin içinden çıkamayız.
Birincisi, Avrupalı insan, bizde hala mevcut olan yazdan kışlık hazırlaması, yiyeceklerini alırken öğünlük değil, haftalık, aylık olanları tedarik etme geleneği var. Şehirlerde yaşayanların çoğu köy ve kadaba geçmiş var, gidip oralardan tedarik ediyorlar dı, Tabi son yetişen nesil bağları iyice kopardı, internet oyun başından kalkıp ziyarete gidemiyorlar.
BU büyük fark yapıyor, hatta yiyecek ve iceceklerde yarı yarıya fiyat farkı.
Ben bizim Türk usulü yeme usulü, hazırlık ve ağız tadından taraftarıyım. Hele ki, Fasulye, mercimek ... gibi baklagiller, sebze yemekleri, SADECE MEVSİMSEL yetişmiş meyvaları yeme, ASLA ziptirik renkli içecekleri eve getirme taraftarıyım.
Asla hazır kapıya ısmarlama pizzalar, obur yapan gereksiz curcunalar... ama elbette uygun zamanda inciri, kuru hoşaflık meyvaları, leblebileri, üzüm ve kabak çekirdekleri...
Bu tür Anadolu usulü yetişen 1980 doğum öncesi insanların yüzleri, bedenleri, yürüyüşleri şimdiki lerinden tamamıyla farklı. Gençlikleri daha narin, ince bedenli, sağlıklı idiler. Ne zayıkki gençlerimiz 2000lerden sonra yeme içme ve RAHAT internet ve oyun ortamında yetiştiler. Bu gençleri KİMSE fabrikalarda ne band işi ne de inşaat ve diğer eğilip bükülecek işlerde çalıştırmak istemiyor, hem hantal hem beceriksizler. Tıpkı Türklerin Eskiden avrupaya çalışmaya götürüldüğü gibi, şimdi Türkiyede de Suriyeli ve diğer ülkelerden gelen gençleri çalıştırmak istiyorlar. Unutmamak gerek: Çocuklukta ne beceri elde edildi ise, gayret ve SABIRla çabalama kazanılır, nasıl bir bedenle büyüdü ise o devam ediyor... Sonuç: şimdiki 30 yaşlarına kadar olanlar maalesef ÇOK RAHAT ortamda, SAĞLIKSIZ ve HAREKETSİZ yetiştiler.
İngiltere gibi ülkeleri baz alıp Türkiye ile karşılaştırıp hem insanına, hem ülkesine balta sallamak hiç doğru değil.
Elbette gönül isterki SIKINTI çekilmeden yaşansın. Ama yukarıda yazıldığı gibi, Anadoluda bir çok köyde, kasaba İŞ gücü aranırken gençler ŞEHİRE adeta kaçıp sonra da yakınmalar... yok öyle yama...
İşte bunu avrupanın gelişmiş ülkelerinde yapamazsın... öyle şu odaları bölelim, bende sıvışayım şuraya diyemezsin.... bal gibi 2000 Avro maaşının 850 avrosunu kiraya ödeyeceksin... hem de nerde, soğuk karanlık, yağışlı sürekli kara şemsiye gibi kafanın üstünde dolaşan bulutların altındaki HER HANGİ bir kasaba veya şehirde. Peki bu adam nereden haber yapıyor?
FETHİYEden, Dalamandan... Yahu Fethiye gibi bölge DÜNYADA kaç yer de var... doğanın tüm meyvaları, çicekleri, sıcacık denizi..., tarihi... kendi şehirlerinde karanlık iki ev arasında bir kahvede içtikleri bir kahveya 3 avro öderleken..., adam üfül üfül denizi seyrederken ödeyeceği kahve de en azından 3 avro olsun ve biz de onların ülkelerini ara sıra gezmeye, bilgi toplamaya gidelim, bizim hakkımız yokmu?
Yani 3500 Tl Anadolu içleri için geçerli, deniz kıyısında yaşayanlar zaten kendi arazileri.. oraya çalışmaya gidenler aillerini götürmüyorlar... Deniz kıyısı elbette daha pahalı, sosyal hayat, ayda restorant ziyaretleri, araba kiralamalar... bu kadar avro tutmuş..., hoppp onlar bu kadar kendi ülkelerinde bile yapmıyorlar.
Evet gerçekten 3500 tl ile geçinmek zor,
İngiltere ve avrupanın BAZI sayılı ülkeleri zenginlerler, hem ürettiklerini MARKALAŞTIRABİLİYORLAR hem her yere girebiliyorlar. Biz yapamıyoruz, çünkü oranın halkı izin vermiyor, karın kaymağını sana yedirmiyorlar,
Eski sömürgeci ilişkileri, örneğin, Afrika, Güne amerika... Mısırda olduğu gibi diktatörleri yine başa getirerek, Suriyede entrikalarla oraları sömürüyorlar, ZENGİNLİKLERİNİ alıp götürüyorlar. Onların bu zenginliği sadece çalışmadan gelmiyor!!!
Son olarak, 2008den beri ülkemize dışardan büyük siyasi, ekonomik, kültürel saldırı var, ayağımıza köstek takmaya çalışanlar var, bölgemizi yeniden şekillendirmek istiyorlar, bunları göğüslemek öyle kolay değil...
@@bilenbir2686 ? Türkiye bu coğrafyadaki en kilolu ülke. Hatta 32.10%'luk obezite oranı ve ortalama 27.8'lik Beden Kitle Endeksi ile Amerika ile yarışıyoruz. Dediğiniz kilolu ve sağlıksız yaşam alışkanlıkları her yaşta var. Kısacık bir araştırmadan sonra elde ettiğim bilgiye göre, 1990-2000 arasında doğan "milenyum nesili" de beden kitle endeksi en dengeli nesil. Bu verilerin sizin dediklerinizle alakası bile yok. Global olarak yaşam şartları iyileşiyor ve dediğiniz şeyler, resmen globalleşmeye karşı kafa tutmak. Peki neden bu 30-40 yaşındaki abilerin göbekleri kendilerinden önde gidiyor? Gençler günlerinde en az 1 saatini spor salonunda harcarken bu adamlar ne yaptı? Şimdi kendi lafını yutup diyecek misin ki "o zamanlar spor salonu yoktu"? Sorunun cevabını ilk başta verip, yanlış çıkarımdan ilerlemişsiniz. Türkiye'de ağır bir yemek kültürü var. Her şey yemek üzerine kurulu. Sizin saydığınız yiyecekler nereden gelirse gelsin, dengeli tüketilmediği takdirde sorun yaratacaktır. Çünkü siz o yiyeceklerle bir yerden makro besinleri keserken, farklı bir makro besini gereğinden fazla tüketmiş oluyorsunuz. Karbonhidrat çok alırsanız hızlı kilo alırsınız, fakat kesip protein ve yağ almaya başlarsanız sonuç yine aynı olacaktır. Dengeli tüketim anahtar kelime. Bunun üstüne Türkiye'de bir spor kültürü yok. Hayır, stadyumlara çıkıp anıra anıra taraftarlık yapmak spor alışkanlığı değildir. Bizim insanlarımıza spor ve kişisel bakım aşılanmadığı için, diğer ülkelere kıyasla çok daha az hareket ediyoruz. Yürüyüş, koşu gibi alışkanlıklar, aktif faaliyetler hak getire. Dediğinize ek olarak, bizde şu kafa vardır: Akşama kadar ağır işte çalıştım, yemek yiyip yatmak benim hakkımdır. Bu kafa yapısıyla sadece gitgide şişmanlarsınız. Ben 1980 ve öncesi nesilde bahsettiğiniz sağlıktan eser göremiyorum. Asıl şimdiki gençlerin suratına bakın. Hepsi model gibi. Kaldı ki hayat standartlarının daha düşük olduğu ve köy toplumlarındaki dışarıdan gelen yabancılara bakış açısının sığ olduğu yerlere kimse yerleşmek istemez. Maalesef tarım sektöründe gelecek yoktur. Yakın tarihimizden ve bugün yaşadıklarımızdan öğrendiğimiz üzere uzun vadeyi düşünmeyip günü kurtarmaya çalışırsak, er yada geç bir taşa çarparız. Tarım ve sanayi ülkeleri büyük bir su rezervine ihtiyaç duyar. Türkiye'deki su rezervlerinin içler acısı hali ortada. Burada aslında pek yapacak bir şey yok, tam bir çıkmazın içindeyiz. "Coğrafya kaderdir" kısaca.

As a soldier, I had a deployment to Turkey in the 80s, it was alot different then. In the rural villages the US dollar would get you a ridiculous amount of stuff.

It's true that Turkey's expensive if you have to live with the Turkish minimum wage, but we have a proverb in Turkish "bülbülü altın kafese koymuşlar, ah vatanım demiş" which translates to "they put the nightingale in a golden cage and it still cried out for it's forest". There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be.
I like that you emphasised that many Turks are really struggling at the moment

Great! Did your aunt and uncle work there?
When we lived in Fethiye we never shopped in Migros because of the extortionate prices. We went to Bim, Sok and A101 which sold good quality basic products and beef mince and chicken was a good price. For fish we went to the fish market and the Friday pazar for our fruit, veg, olive oil and cheese. Going to the pazar helps you learn Turkish and you get to know the lovely people selling their amazing fresh produce. Then with all the cash you saved not going to Migros, you can have gozleme and Ayran at the pazar. 😋😁👍
actually the last time I was in Fethiye we visited this particular Migros and was appalled that the prices are different to other Migros's, so we walked out. Our weekly shop here in Antalya doesnt cost anywhere near what it costs in the Migros in Fethiye.
you are right that Migros is too expensive (I cannot even go near of it hahah) but unfortunately everything in every market including bazaar EVERYTHING is too expensive....
:))
Lesley, can you finish ayran
and pancakes at the same time?
This comparison was mainly comparing main supermarkets and as I had only been to Asda and Sainsbury’s in the UK I thought Migros was the only comparable supermarket 🤠
I’ve been living in Turkey for the past 3 months. My husband bought an apartment here since he’s working remotely and we absolutely enjoy our life here. Things are way cheaper than Germany, and we are able to have a good social life without emptying our wallets out 😊

I would recommend that you spend some time near Fethiye to get the experience and feeling of how living there would be. There is one particular town which might suit your expectations.

The owner's name is : İbrahim Merze and his cellular # is : +90(533)711-6158. The hotel does not have any stars, is not luxurious, it is just bed and breakfast.

Local Market shopping is definitely the best way to shop. Supermarkets are really expensive but a bit of a necessity.
Brilliant, informative Video.
Stay Safe.

My grandparents worked whole life in Belgium they retired and goes to Turkey purchased a estate near sea. İf you have monthly 1000€ income in Turkey you are like king. So advice is if you are 60+ buy a estate in a Mediterranean country enjoy your last days :p instead of waiting for dead in rainy western county.
So true I’m living in dead rainy country 🤔

VERY VALUABLE INFORMATION. THANK YOU AND LOOKING FOR MORE TO COME.
An other compact and well explained video in easy style. Thanks for sharing :)
I already live in Turkey, but you are very knowledgable. Thanks for the info you are sharing
I never see any TH-cam present such a detailful expences to be living in a country...
Excellent...!!! 👌👌👌
Brilliant video. Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you 😊👍🏽
We, Turkish teens always looking for a way working in UK, Germoney or other economically developed countries but old people from these countries want to live in Turkey, lets make a deal, we come your country, you came ours
🤣
GerMoney either you made a spelling mistake or a good comedian
@@YM-kn1qz I wrote deliberately
If I could I would swap! Love from the UK
you are very welcome here.. wish turks came and not eastern europeans lol
Bloody fantastic, really good informative video again by the both of you. Keep it up, stay safe.
Excellent production as usual!
Totally love your videos.. keep them coming and best of luck!!!
This is a very informative video. Thank you Mick Amca. 👏
Excellent work, Mick and Trudie! Accurate and reasonable, I will send this video to my loved ones. :-)
Hi, Mick and Trudie. Your videos have been a great source of information for my wife and I and we truly appreciate it. There are a TON of questions around cost of living in Turkey in many of the expat pages that I'm a member of. Given that things have changed considerably at the beginning of this year due to regulation changes and the fluctuation in Lira, I think EVERYONE would appreciate an updated video.
It’s on its way 🤠👍
Thanks for sharing your experience it’s very helpful for those people trying to move to turkey.
siz ne kadar anlayışlı insanlarsınız yahu... harika bir video idi. teşekkürler.
How do the locals live on 3000?
Well, they basically don't... Unfortunately.
We need to give up on most of the fun activities including a social life. I know that you already know all those very well. I hope one day we'll acquire what we deserve too.
Thanks for the content, gigantic fan of you!
I have minimum wage in the netherlands, for 30 years now, i need that for rent, food, gas, light, ensurances. Nothing left, no holiday, no clothes, no eating out, no car, nothing. Just a few get out of it. Netherlands look rich but arent.
@@Michel-yp8rd well here is the bright side for you.
You can at least save a little and have lovely holiday in some of the - not-first-world countries like Turkey. 800 euros would make you a king here for a week. You should consider.
Besides, I remember running into a Dutch gay couple in Barcelona in 2015. They told me they're on unemployment salary and traveling the world :(
I believe you're luckier than us Turks :)
That's how it's in every single country. I live in Canada and someone who earns only minimum wage won't be able to pay their rent and few other bills.
@@cuneydekmekci That's not lucky that taking advantage of their system .
Yes I hope so too, I feel so sorry for the Turkish people at the moment! 🥲🤠
So helpful!!! Thanks a lot. My husband and I have plans to move to Antalya in September and this video really helped us to see the realistic breakdown of monthly costs.
My hometown is Antalya which is the best place to live😍😍😍
thank you mick amca, this helped me plan my budget for our next vacation. I didnt know you were in Fethiye, might come for some cay soon
Really good video - well explained. I especially liked your observation of the kilo price when in the supermarket. So many people look at the headline price on the sticker (which is exactly what the supermarkets want you to notice). Turkey looks very beautiful and reasonably affordable and, if you don't mind me saying, you seem to look very good and sress free. All the best to you both.
Hi, there I watched first time and I want to thank for your objective perspective. Keep healthy
Well made, well explained, WELL DONE 👍 ! keep up the good work
Really like your vlogs. Great information for us. We hope to be heading out soon. Turkey is on the bucket list!!
Hi Mick & Trudie. You've just been great in explaining everything. I've been following your vlogs on youtube for a while now and I'm amazed to how much knowledge and clarity about living in Turkey you have. I hope we can meet one day as I'm thinking of making the plunge and come and live in where you are, Fethiye, Antaliya or around there. It seems quite a lovely place to live; not too big and not too small but just right for everything, especially the weather, the local people and the local produce. Thank you once more. God bless.
Mil gracias. Esto ayuda mucho a los que tenemos pensado vivir x un tiempo en esa hermosa ciudad. Que la conocimos gracias a ustedes. Hacen un gran trabajo!👏👏
Thank you for the info,and stay well,safe.
Thanks a million for uploading this informative video.
mick amca ve trudie yenge tam detaylı bilgilendirici video olmuş size teşekkür ederim.
Hi, I am so thankful to you both contributing such a useful information.
Nice to see your video and the information you have shared
My Dream 🇹🇷..one day in beautiful Calis. Mick & Trudy, I love your very informative vlogs. Thank you for sharing xx
Thanks for this useful info on living expenses in Turkey. £1000 a month is reasonably cheap. I am paying €1000 rent/month in Munich for just a studio flat!... I hv been to Turkey a few times and really like it there. Definitely place to consider when thinking about retirement. Great video, keep it up 👍
Great information thanks, love these videos it's nice to know everyday costs
Thanks for the details, you explained Everything
Brilliant vid both, really good insight
Very informative Mick! Makes me want to move to Turkey even more! :)
Thank you UK giving valuable information
Thank you so much for your nice video!Very informative & useful tips As a TH-cam beginner we really appreciated your content, looking forward for more videos!
Your channel is amazing. You make me want to learn Turkish!
So start today
the country is extremely expensive for locals
Wow what a great video, thanks for the info! I love that you showed a range. So many times you look up prices or watch videos, and they only show the fast food from street vendors and talk about how cheap it is, but what are restaurant prices? Thank you Mick and Trudie, you guys are so cute!
All perfectly true. Good analysis.
Beautiful review,
Thanks for the information provided. Very helpful and useful, but surprisingly it is a lot cheaper than Ottawa Canada.
This Content is Absolute Gold
Thanks for the update info 😊
Mick and Trudie we're waiting for you to visit Greece. Have a nice time in Turkey.
As usual , great observations and thanks for explaining everything in such detail..🙌🏻 sad on behalf of my country that we are an agriculture&farming dense country yet locals can’t afford eating red meat more than once &twice a month...😞 p.s. Your turkish in that manav is awesome!!😄
Thank you Damla
Teşekkürler Mick ve Trudie,
Çok ayrıntılı ve değerli ekonomik bilgiler vermişsiniz.
Bizi, bizden daha iyi anlatmışsınız.
THANK YOU FOR THIS NICE VIDEO
Wish You Guys a nice Time in TURKEY 😊✌
This is so helpful. Thank you so much. Can’t wait till Covid is over so I can go! Definitely hoping to spend winters in south west Turkey and summers back home in Canada.
Winters in Fethiye are cold and wet! The houses are very very cold and when there are storms the power is out and often water off too. Can be quite miserable for 2 to 3 months
Look up the winter weather in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada and you will see that cold and miserable is relative. Ha-ha. 😉 This year we had seven months of below freezing (sometimes up to minus 30 degrees Celsius), snow and ice. So, 15 to 20 degrees in Fethiye is pleasantly balmy for most Canadians. And I just want to be in Turkey and integrate myself into its culture. I’m not much of a beach person. But thanks for your input.
Yes but you have central heating, wood burning stoves. Nothing like that in most of Fethiye. Tiled floors and no insulation in the walls!
@@tiblanes Alberta is definitely equivalent to Eastern Turkey. There in winter also -30,40 is possible and snow can reach 6-7 meters. Happy to not from Eastern Turkey. 😅
Visiting Turkey in summer is more wonderful than visiting it in winter, Turkey is beautiful country
Nice weather and healthy living, and a bit noisy but it’s ours!
Wow perfect video with lots of info, thanks for this
Very useful information thanks for sharing enjoy Turkey
Waww. I love Turkish products they are much more unique. Thank you for the amazing video. Mike you are amazing. Thank you.
*"And yet many Turkish people only earn around 3k Turkish Lira. How they manage to live on that sort of wage I really don't know."* :(
That might be the Minimum Wage and not what people actually earn. Most Americans earn much more than Minimum Wage.
@@jameshudkins2210 Trust me, currently there are millions of those who even could not earn Minimum Wage here in Turkey. They virtually have no income. Please check out the unemployment rate of Turkey. Facts are bitter.
@@jumboboy9781 While you are at it think about the unemployment and decay in Europe and America.
@@boraxsopanic2670 I do not live in none of them so stop comparing one place to another for convincing people of being thankful for what they are through. You do not open my fridge and spend 5 minutes to decide what to eat.
@@jameshudkins2210 minimum wage is earned by more than %50 of working population here, which turns minimum wage to normal wage actually. The percentage is way lover in EU or NA countries. That's also another sad fact. Since I am a law student and did my internship with a lawyer practising labor rights, I can tell you they mostly work above the legal limits and hardly ever get paid for it, till they quit job and get overtime compensation from their employer. So even just getting by every month, despite the hard work they put on, is not an easy task for an avarage turkish worker.
absolutely usefull and correct information, thanks
Thanks a lot for all this useful information
We loved this video,even we are from Turkey and live in Canada for 21years,we totally missed tracking all the cost of living👏👏👏👍🇨🇦🇹🇷

I haven’t been to Turkey in about 6 years as my parents had a home in Bitez near Bodrum & they stayed 3 months at a time & it cost them a lot more to live even with owning house & car. Markets are the best places for food & bargains Migros has always been a expensive shop. And when the government suddenly added a huge tax on alcohol late 90s/2000 it hurt a lot of business
Wonderful presentation indeed! Very informative!
Great video guys. Thank you very informative
I don't know actually what is going on in this world, but the food prices have gone up so much in the last 10 to 20 years. I talk to my family in US and they also complain about food prices in US. They say that even before pandemic they stopped going to the movies as the ticket prices became unaffordable. The visit to doctor expensive. University fee for kids ridiculous. And remember they are in high paying IT jobs and if they are struggling then you can imagine how minimum wage workers manage.
it's quite easy to explain. The super rich people get more every year, while the rest of the population stay on the same wage like people 30 years ago... while the cost of living is constantly raising. To change this, the super rich would need to give their workes more money.. at least enough money to negate the effect of infaltion
The US ended over 30 years ago. It's now a second world country...which means most people just work, eat and sleep. The US was sold out to China that makes just about everything under the sun for Americans. Don't you see the play on China by the US claiming unfair practices when the US leaders themselves sold the US out. The question is...can this be turned around with such a corrupt USA?
@nicos frangeskou I'm from Pakistan, we're the family of 5 and living quite a decent life. We pay no taxes on our house and our monthly expenditurres are 500 dollars 😊
@@boraxsopanic2670 I feel bad for the wiping out of US manufacturing sector. Actually your politicians opted the wash way out by switching from manufacturing based economy to financial capitalism.
BTW it wasn't China's fault, it it wasn't China than your Jobs would've shifted to other countries in Asia, like after recent terrifs on China the jobs moved to Vietnam

@@fahrii18 her boka inanmayın siz de ya kim nereye yürütüyor 128 milyar doları öyle bir paranın devletin kasasında yok olması ne demek bir fikriniz var mı, ülke anında çöker. Ekonomi bakanı gayet iyi açıklıyor olan biteni ama ekonomi zor bir konu milletin cehaleti üzerinden de muhalefet yine siyasi rant elde etmeye çalışıyor, nasıl olsa kimse anlamıyor atılan her çamura da inanıyorlar diye. Yazık etmeyin kafanıza.
@@fahrii18 Ben akpnin yaptığı yolsuzlukları aklamaya çalışmıyorum akpli de değilim ayırca sadece aklın ve mantığın yolunda doğruları öğrenmeyi amaçlayan biriyim ne yazıkki bu kafada çok az insan kaldı ve en azından ortaya atılan her yolsuzluk yaftasına inanacak kadar saf değilim sorguluyorum em azından. Bir kere bir yaftalamaya inanıyorsan sözün kimden geldiğine bakmalısın, haberin doğruluğunu ölçmenin en temel yolunu bir kere sizin gibi dedikoducular yapmıyorsunuz. AKPden daha yolsuz ve çürümüş bir parti varsa o da CHPdir ve her türlü yalanına, iftirasına şahit olmamıza rağmen hala bunların söylediği her şeye inanan aptal bir kitle var. Ben en azında chpyi ciddiye alacak kadar ümitsiz değilim. Senin de bu durumda ne olduğun ortaya çıktı. Hedef gösteren, galeyana gelip aklı-selim düşünemeyen çirkefleri nerde görsem tanırım. 128 milyar dolara gelince bu direkt devletin kasasından çıktığı iddia edilen bir para evet AKPnin yolsuzlukları var ama bu boyutta bir şey devletin ekonomisine çok ciddi darbe vurur iflasın eşiğine bile getirebilir. Ülke bu durumdayken bunu yapmaları birincisi mantıklı değil ki herşeye rağmen her partinin içinde ülkesinin ve milletinin menfaatlerini düşünen ahlaklı insanlar mevcut bu tür insanlar aracılığıyla bu derece büyük olaylar üzerinde etkili olabilecek bir takım kontrol mekanizmalarının galib geleceğine inanıyorum, ikincisi ekonomi bakanının açıklamasında meselenin özünü bilen ve yapılan ithamların ne kadar aptalca olduğunu teknik boyutuyla açıklayan bir konuşma olduğunu gördüm ve bunu mahalle dedikoducusu gibi ortalıkta dolaşanların söylediklerine nazaran daha inandırıcı buldum. Ayrıca damat görevden alındı onunla ne ilgisi var bu durumun? Hani konudan uzak olduğun o kadar belli ki xD
