We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Hungary, they wrote...

"$2000 USD will do it but be mindful it doesn't cover major medical or other expenses," said another expat in Budapest, Hungary.

"The cost of living in Hungary is generally considered to be quite affordable. Prices for basic necessities such as food, transportation, and housing are generally lower than in other European countries. Eating out in restaurants is also relatively inexpensive, and there are plenty of affordable options for entertainment. Overall, Hungary is a great place to live if you are looking for a budget-friendly destination," wrote a member who made the move to Hungary.
