How about cost of living. How much did you pay for rent in PK vs. PT?

(I am asking out of genuine curiosity. Rent or mortgage is usually the heaviest burden in the West.)

I think I’m spending around 1/5 of my monthly salary on rent here? I think I’d have been spending almost the same amount of my salary percentage wise back in Pakistan as well, possibly more. But I can’t say for sure as I was living with my parents back then.

Also for reference I’m living in a pretty cheap city in Portugal so rent is definitely cheaper here and in Pakistan I used to live in the capital so rent was a lot more expensive compared to other places in Pakistan.

Im from India and my rent for 2BhK(solid concrete house) in a gated community apartments was $80 per month.
