How do Turks live in Turkey?
Turkish TV series fascinate with glitter, gold, expensive silks and velvets. Therefore, the question arises as to how the Turks live in Turkey, do they really have such wealth and are accustomed to luxury?
Work and wages
The real life of Turks is different from the bohemian life shown in Turkish TV series. To live with dignity, you need to work 10-12 hours, 6 days a week, with Sundays off.
Turks are accustomed to living beyond their means. They take out loans to buy household appliances, gadgets, a bicycle or other transportation for their child. Installment plans are popular, since the minimum salary is about 850 liras. It's only 500 dollars. This money is barely enough to pay rent and buy food. Rented housing costs on average 300-400 dollars, in small towns - 150-200 dollars.
To receive a decent salary for your work, higher education is important, although it is not compulsory. The monthly salary differs depending on the profession:
- a teacher earns 2000 liras;
- policeman - 2500 liras;
- a civil servant receives 1,500 liras.
People engaged in these professions live in abundance. For the rest, it’s hard to survive with a small salary; there is no other way out but to work hard.
Standard of living and quality of services
The standard of living in Turkey is higher than in Russia. There is a particularly strong middle class in Istanbul. The city has a developed transport network, comfortable and modern public transport. Travel can be paid with a plastic card.
Education, healthcare and medicines cost a lot, but the quality of the services provided is much higher. Medical care is at the level of Israel, so it is prestigious to be a doctor or medical professional.
Home and life
In the family, only the husband works, the wife takes care of everyday life. Raising children is the responsibility of the father, not the mother.
For Turks, a spacious home, either their own or rented, is very important. This is the place where you can relax and invite family and friends. A man strives to have everything in him, and a woman cares about comfort.
Life of other nationalities in Turkey
The life of the Turks is not as difficult as that of the Kudrov. The number of this people in Turkey reaches 20 million. This is a fifth of the country's population. The government oppresses their rights and carries out ethnic cleansing. The Kudras are exiles, so they are forced to live in the southeast of the country. Tourists should not go there.
Is it possible to move to live in Turkey?
The road to Turkey is open for Russians ; you should learn the language in advance, then there will be no problems finding work. In general, the Turkish people are hospitable and friendly, but their traditions must be respected and followed. You need to be prepared for the fact that the Turks will impose their religion, since for them it comes first. Despite the fact that young people oppose Islamization and girls do not cover themselves in clothes from head to toe, there are “closed” areas where it is better not to appear with bare shoulders and knees.
