Cost of living malta 2016

Unless you're expecting to rent a large and luxurious property you will do fine on 35k.

Thanks so much for taking the trouble to reply

That's like 2200-2400/month net (I think?). Really depends on where you live, how often you go out... it should be enough to live comfortably.

In my opinion a sufficient salary is not a question how often you go out for lunch/dinner, where you go for shopping, where you live - but about how much you spend on more "expensive" things (that might not even be necessary at all).

What makes a life worth living - for me - includes hobbies like vacations and vehicles. I do not need an expensive apartment in the central area or restaurants every day, but I do not want to miss my "hobbies" which also cost me a lot of money every year ... not necessary, of course, but I do not want to miss it 

I would not want to live here with 800 Euro per month a spartan life ... in this case, I would most probably go back to my home country and continue working in a well paid stressful job ...
