Rent: 500.- for 1-2 Rooms Apartment with furniture 600.-/ 800.- Food : 250.- Transport: 60.- (public) Haircut: 10.- Party...??? when you earn 50k, no kids ..income taxes will be around 30%..but also you have to pay sick- and pension insurance, etc. . So from 50k around 30k will stay in your pocket.. which is not bad for 24 year young guy. Enjoy Berlin..culture is great. o.k. weather is not like Barcelona..no siesta (8:00 - 17:30 straight work), no outdoor sitting in the sun , running around in t-shirt etc..at least not from now to next May. Can be be fucking cold in Jan - March Communication can be mostly in english..no need to learn German..in the beginning. Berlin people are a little direct at times but helpful, but there are so many foreigners.. Go for it.. Spain is not in a good shape right now...
