Technically you can live in Finland for that if you're a permanent resident, except for Helsinki and the countryside where you need a car.
Let's assume you pay 500€ in rent, and the government subsidies cover around 70% of that, so you'll pay 250€.
Water: 10€
Electricity, assuming no luxuries: 15-20€
Internet: 20-27€
Laundromat: 8€
Public transport: 45€ (or bike in summer, so 0€)
Food, assuming 4€ a day: 120€
Barber: 15€
Phone: 10-15€
444€ in summertime, 489€ in the 3-4 winter months.
the goverment gives you money towards rent? everyone?
Yes, it does, if your income is low, and you don't own wealth, like land or stocks.
Oh see I didn't think this question was for low income, just talking about living on a small amount. If you have 500 quid a month income in the UK you'd likely have all your rent covered, in France you'd get a good chunk paid for as well.
Now if you have the income + kids you will end up with a lot of benefits in both of those countries. I thought we were speaking of living on a small amount more outta choice.
You can easily do 1000 euros in France, I know someone who does and has 4 kids

I don't understand the difference. The OP asked where you can live on 614 euros a month, and I answered.

When you start considering WIC, food stamps, Section 8 Housing and vouchers, free cell phones, Medicaid, earned tax credit, ... you can do it in the US in most areas.
Yes I agree with Bulgaria.The doctors there earn 150 Euros a month right ? Maybe now they have already increased it a bit.
Yes, it could have been that much in the late 90's or early 2000's, but right now the average wage in the country is about 330 Euros so I would assume doctors earn a bit more than that. In Romania it is almost 400 if my memory serves me correct.

HUGE difference. You can have an income that is high but WANT to live on a smaller amount or take a year off and live off savings vs actually having very low income and no choice.
My current rent is very low compared to what I can afford, it's by choice not because I can't afford more.

Ah, yes, I see. If your rent is moderate you can easily live on a rather small sum here, despite the reputation of being very expensive. It takes just a bit of effort.
