    Thank you for all the great information! I fell in love with Greece in 1985 during a high school trip and was back twice last year for family travel. My dream is to retire there and your detailed descriptions of everything are so much more realistic than some others have shared. Thanks again and I can't wait to watch some of your other videos!

    I really appreciate your honesty. Most of the videos I with foreigners living in Greece gives different information than your video.

    Thank you. This was very thorough.
    Hard times and higher prices everywhere , it seems.
    More and more homeless in the Seattle/Tacoma area. Many people live in vehicles.
    Thousands are getting laid off in the companies where my friends work. I’m working freelance for a company that is privately owned and they don’t usually lay off their workers. They move them to different jobs.
    I’m working on moving my things to a friend’s farm on the other side of the mountains in Eastern Washington state. Gas is near $5 a gallon.

      I'm from Finland. My family and friends are there, where NATO is getting ready for war against Russia. I never thought I'd see the day, but here we are.
      Also the same patterns are happening in Finland, like Greece, Europe and the USA. Not to mention Canada...
      I would definitely recommend getting out of cities and moving to the country, farm even better.

    I'm surprised that some of those prices, food items in particular seem to be more expensive than here in the UK.

      Yes, some items are very expensive here, especially hygiene products in some supermarkets.

    Thank you for the comprehensive breakdown. Can I ask how people deal with the mid summer heat? I lived in Antalya before and spent most of the summer months from mid morning to late afternoon hiding indoors with AC units on full. Presumably this is too expensive for most local people given the high electricity tariff. Just how hot does it get in July/August? Is it too hot to sleep at night without AC? And could you give an idea for the monthly food bill is eating mostly at home with the odd visit to a taverna say once a week? Thank you!

      The temperature goes up to 40 degrees Celsius in July and August. I think most people use fans, because they consume very little electricity, but don't help much with really high temperatures. I bought a fan, where I add cold water inside. For me it's too hot to sleep without a fan. We don't have AC, since we're off grid. Our stone house stays 10 degrees cooler than the maximum temperature outside.
      We (three people) spent about 600€ on food monthly.

    What do you do for work? What is the job situation like for English speakers in Rodos?

    • @mylifeinrhodes
      @mylifeinrhodes  Před měsícem +3

      I'm a stay at home mom, like most of the mothers here are. The job situation is not good. The best chance to find a job would be from Rhodes Town during the tourist season.

    Thanks a lot! In Romania is the same situation. From Greece we have PPC company, the best delivery in electricety. The people, generally speaking, are living in powerty with manny and important problems. I try to ask you who is guilty from this situation?

    • @mylifeinrhodes
      @mylifeinrhodes  Před 18 dny +1

      I think there are a lot of people who are responsible for the situation that we're in right now. I prefer to figure out how to better the lives of my family and people around us and take daily steps towards these goals.

    Έτσι ακριβώς έιναι. Και ποιοί ευθύνονται γιαυτό ? Οι πολιτικοί μας

    Are there local farmers in Rhodes?? Seriously thinking about moving to Rhodes from TX, where t cost of living is outrageous... and eggs are outrageously priced...

    • @mylifeinrhodes
      @mylifeinrhodes  Před měsícem +1

      Yes there are a lot of small farmers here, not mass production. Also backyard chickens everywhere 😊
