Hello,
I've looked through the topics and read what there is to read about cost of living etc but I am wondering if someone can help me with more specifics?
My husband was offered a job that pays about 2,500 Euro a month after tax in Lija. We are from Canada and currently living in Berlin,Germany and that would be a considerable pay cut. BUT if the cost of living is much less than maybe it would be worth it for the adventure.
Basically, what I want to know, is can a family live on that kind of salary with a good quality of life (eating out once in a while and enjoying things like scuba diving in the summer etc and still being able to travel throughout the year) or would it be tight? Plane tickets to other European countries look quite steep compared to what we are used to in Berlin.
Also, is Malta very child friendly? We are pretty lucky in Berlin to have tons of playgrounds and family friendly stuff to do. They are also great with subsidized daycare and a monthly child allowance. Is there anything like that in Malta? I know English is the second, does that mean it would be reasonably easy for me to find work? ( Iam more concerned about the possibility to work for sanity rather than financial reasons).
Thank you in advance for any help
