In this episode, I address a common question from my viewers:/readers/listeners, “what does it cost to live in Bosnia and Herzegovina?”

I take a shallow dive into the expenses you'll encounter, from rent and utilities to groceries and entertainment, and compare them with Western standards.

A budget of $5,000 a month is more than enough to live comfortably here, even lavishly by local standards.

I discuss the average local income, the affordability of various necessities, and the pros and cons of living in cities versus rural areas.

Whether you're considering a move or just curious, this video will give you a clear picture of life in Bosnia.
