Hello, I intend to come to Türkiye and need to know how much money I will need to live on. How much money will I need for a month, given that housing is available? Thank you.

I now live here and survive on my Social Security payment from the USA of $2400. I live very comfortably in a 3 bedroom condo overlooking the Aegean sea and the city of Kusadasi. I am also able too save antwheres from $300 to $500 a month depending on any unexpected costs. If you want a more comprehensive breakdown of my expenses pleae text me back and good luck. Living in Turkey is the all time best thing I have ever done for myself in my life.

Where you choose to live figures prominently in how much you need to live to meet your expectations. Istanbul in particular is much higher cost of living. Giving more specifics including your lifestyle needs would be helpful in responding to your question.
