Cost of Living in Austria
Living in a foreign country requires that you budget your finances especially in terms of your food consumption. Spending on food in Austria is relatively cheaper compared to other European countries. If you’re fine with a weekly balanced diet that would involve a dozen eggs, some fresh white bread, banana, beef, some milk, and a daily dose of your cup of coffee, you’ll manage well with a USD 200 weekly food allowance. But if you crave your usual McDonald’s meal, just take note that it might cost you somewhere around USD 10.
