- Hey guys! I remember before I moved to Madrid, I was FREAKING OUT that I was not going to be able to live off of the auxiliar de conversación salary. I would have loved to see a video like this to really put into perspective how much everything costs in Madrid.
Coming from the United States, we really do not have a good idea of how much life costs in other parts of the world. Unfortunately, this causes us to overpay for things like rent, especially when we are so stressed looking for a place to live when we first arrive. So I don't want you to do that!!!
Hope this video helps you guys out and please let me know if it did in the comments! Also comment below what types of videos you would like to see more of :) OS PROMETO que voy a hacer más videos en español MUYYY PRONTO
follow me on insta: / raquelannee

(I made an editing mistake and put the insta plug in a really weird spot LOL my bad)
also I am now aware that Toledo is NOT in the comunidad de madrid and i am tonta pls forgive me
tx represent!! this is one of the best & most straightforward vids i’ve seen on this topic - thank you sm Rachel!!
ahora teneis los subtitulos en español :) que tipo de videos os gusta? os leo
Gracias por los subtítulos.
A mi me gusta ver como les cuentas a los estadounidenses curiosidades de España, o como es de verdad fuera de tópicos, o cosas que te gustan o cosas que son distintas aquí en comparación de allí.
Pero supongo que así serán todos los vídeos para la audiencia estadounidense jeje.
Creo que si pones en el título “subtitulos en español” o (Sub Esp) podrías tener más visitas
Nos gustan tus videos, todos, y los que están en inglés los veo sin saber nada de inglés, pero con subtítulos y todo está bien !!!!!!!
Prefiero videos en ingles con subtitulos en ingles para aprender mas del idioma. Y me gustan los videos de viajes.
Hey Rachel ! I’m getting addicted to your CZcams channel! It’s so good and it help us a lot lol 😂 You actually know even more stuff and great tips than a Spanish citizen! That’s cool!
yay i'm glad!! I've learned a lot these past 3 years haha!
Loved this video!!! Also your little london roast got me 😂❤️
girl u know I gotta roast london ;)
Moving to Spain in August and this is reassuring me it will all be ok ❤️ I’ve watched all your spain videos and can’t wait for more! I loved watching the videos in Spanish because you speak in a good Madrileño accent but at a slower pace so I could practice my listening 🙌🏻
as a local here, dont focus so hard in the dialect/accent, instead try your best on vocabulary, a lot of expressions you will get just by chatting so no need to rush that either.
How are u now?❤️
@@mathajas7019 I won’t move in until the end of August, so still eager! I’m mostly excited now 🎉
Imma let You know it's boiling here
@@erinhoffmann hey how is it going???
Mi sueño es ir a Madrid. Acabó de graduarme de la universidad y tenía la esperanza de hacer mi máster en Madrid, pero la pandemia me afectó mucho financieramente, sin embargo, gracias a Dios obtuve una beca en una universidad de Madrid para hacer mi máster online y lo voy a empezar en octubre y estoy muy emocionada, aún guardo la esperanza de que voy a visitar Madrid
De donde eres? Espero que puedas venir a España y nos descubras
@@davidalons0 Soy de Ecuador, espero estar en España pronto.
@@danielateran6917 ¿llegaste? ¿Qué tal la preparación o adaptación?
@@ignacioheredia9599 pues no, no he ido a Madrid aún, pero ya estoy en proceso de hacerlo.
Pues ha subido todo pero quizá encuentras habitación por 350€-400€ y con unos 900€ puedes sobrevivir malviviendo
I’m sending this video to my daughter who’s thinking of moving to Spain. I’m from Spain and we live in Austin, TX (opposite of you!).
I’ve sent her some of your other videos as well
Love your channel! This video is going to be so helpful for me when I move back to Spain. I adored Madrid in 2019 and am sure I will adore it again when I move back next year
How exciting!!!! Everyone always comes back😍 yes you will!
How did it go? @lydiatomson
holaaaa, me sirvio muchisimo tu video!!, pienso mudarme a españa terminando mi carrera y de verdad que fue de mucha ayuda :), saludos desde méxico 🧡
me alegro mucho🥺🤍 si tienes algunas dudas sobre otra cosa avísame y quizás puedo hacer un video de eso :)
@@RachelAnne_ que linda! Muchas gracias, yo te comento si me acuerdo de algo :)✨
Se paga unos 350 euros (barato) por una habitación. Se tiene que compartir, con desconocidos, piso y gastos de agua, luz, gas, internet.... Si no son europeos o con familiares europeos o residiendo legalmente en Europa, acabarán trabajando en limpieza de casas, cuidando niños o ancianos a precios de miseria porque no están regularizados. Da igual si han sido abogados, jueces o ministros. Trabajarán en la economía sumergida en España. Pasados tres años de vivir en España, se les dará permiso de trabajo y residencia para vivir aquí siempre que tengan un contrato de trabajo.... Antes de emigrar, busquen información real sobre las condiciones de vida cuando se emigra sin tener documentos en regla. He trabajado acogiendo a personas migrantes y visto más lágrimas de las que me hubiera gustado. Busquen INFORMACIÓN
@@ananena3192 Hablas de inmigración irregular y/o sin cualificación y en Madrid. No es aplicable a inmigración regular cualificada y mucho menos a los precios de cualquier otra parte de España q no sean Madrid y Barcelona.
I love it. Great video. 👏
Thanks for this confident info.
Looking great! Thnx. If the travel restrictions lift, I'd love to visit Spain in summer 2022.
Me encanta como hablas español, casi perfecto
I've lived in Madrid for two years and agree with what Rachel has said. Her budget is realistic in my opinion.
Im glad!!! I want it to be as helpful as possible :)
If you are looking for a second opinion, as a guy that has lived in Madrid almost all his whole life, you can live off of 1000€, it is possible, don't expect any luxurys though, you are going to be pretty money tight but you are not going to die or be homeless, and going out every single day to bars or similar things would destroy your budget. As our nice host says it's better to look for additional income and being a native speaker can make wonders. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the country if your not trying to live forever here
you said everything perfectly, I totally agree!!! thanks for sharing that info with everyone :)
13:48 "anyone can survive off this amount living in Madrid". The operative word here is "survive". I hope everybody realises that "having an amazing time in Madrid" 13:58 and surviving are two completely different experiences. Yes indeedy, you sure can have an amazing time in Madrid, one of the most vibrant cosmopolitan cities in Europe, but you´re gonna need a lot more than 1000 euros...
100% agree. It reminds me to a comment I saw in a different video (and different youtuber) talking about how much she wanted to live in Spain (being from Ireland) I was like "no, seriously, you want to spend your holidays here and surely you think our everyday life is like your holidays, but not at all. You don't want to live here then XD"
besides "survive" assuming that you share a room with other people in the same house. Meaning that with just 1.000€ you can't be an independent adult (at the bare minimum you depend on your room mates paying their share of their rent)
For someone „under 26“, her advice is spot on. 10 years later, you’ll have very different expectations of what a good lifestyle consists of.
Provinces you can look at too near Madrid: Guadalajara is a provincia that connects with Madrid by train, just in case you would like to see more options. Toledo is also near, the northest part, but there's only buses to Madrid from there, so it takes longer and there are less. There're also Avila and Soria, but forget about them if you have to go to Madrid everyday 😅
Thank you for all the info!! Now, i was wondering if you could say what your job was or is about. It would be so helpful to have some options to consider when looking for a job to occupy myself while studying in Spain.
you should do a video about conintueing your education abroad- getting a master's, etc. How does that work if you are not yet fluent- are English programs available and would you recommend them? Is getting a job hard without being fluent first? Once you get your Master's in Spain, does it have any value in the States? etc.
From France . I like your sense of humour facinf life ! keep on ...
I love your video! Going to Spain this fall. I would greatly appreciate a video on how much to charge for private lessons.
Would also love a video on this!
I will definitely put it on the list!! ☺️
I teach Spanish to some English and Dutch people who live in my village. I do it in my free time and it is only some extra pocket money, so I am quite cheap, in another hand, the cheaper you are, the more student you get. Well, in general the price for a lesson is from 15 to 20 Euros per hour, private lessons. For groups it can be cheaper.
Me gustó el video.Es interesante ver tu punto de vista.Me gustaria saber mas diferencias entre USA y España y como te han cambiado en estos años.
muchas gracias!! y el proximo video será eso :) en español
Genial!!
Fantastic vid! How much would you recommend native speakers charge for private lessons? :)
Do you have any advice/specific places for getting housing at this pricing? Great video!
Super helpful : )
Hombre siempre pueden buscar un piso en la cañada real, ahí seguro la renta es más baja
Thanks for this video! I'm an incoming aux & will be in madrid on september. I was wondering, as a first year, how/where do you find kids to teach for private lessons? Would the school be able to help and refer you to one? 🙂
hi, how exciting!! so I actually got my first few from some auxes who were giving away their classes, which you may find on the aux pages. people leave madrid or they just want to give away classes to have more free time. then from there, I got recommendations, and ended up getting a lot more students. I didn't get any from my school directly, but that is definitely something you could talk to your bilingual coordinator about!
Que bien se te entiende
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
YOURE SO WELCOME🤍
Hola Rachel, acabo de descubrir tu canal, soy de Mallorca y acabo de mudarme a Madrid y la verdad es que 1000 euros al mes no dan para vivir, solo para sobrevivir, tanto aquí como en Mallorca, dos de los sitios con las rentas mas caras de España. Me reí mucho cuando hiciste el minuto de silencio por los años que no hemos pagado renta y no lo hemos apreciado, jajajjajaj es que el alquiler es lo que mas te quita del salario!!!
30 euros a la semana en alimentación? pues debes de alimentarte de aire...yo gasto 100 a la semana y compro alimentos muy normales y corrientes.
Hi, question- if you rent a room in a place where do you cook is there a communal kitchen or is it in a apartment?
Fantastico, gracias por compartir.
Comentarte que hay otras muchas ciudades preciosas mas pequeñas y mas baratas, con playa, sin playa, con montaña, con campo, etc.. de todo tipo.
Hay muchas otras opciones ademas de Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, etc..
Gracias por tus videos y por promover nuestra maravillosa forma de vivir la vida.
Saludos cordiales desde Valencia.
Carlos.
SI, más pequeñas y mas baratas pero sin trabajo :D
If you can't afford your own apartment or even a small studio with 1.000 euros, then 1.000 aren't enough for being an *independent* adult. At the bare minimum you depend on your room mates for paying they share of the rent, and that's without even considering that whatever decision you want to make about the house or schedules or parties or whatever you have to first agree with your room mates. You can still say "oh, but I don't care about parties or schedules or house's furnitures or house's decisions" and that's perfect, that only means that you don't care about being an *independent* free adult.
Is like if I say: You can live without money in New York if you don't care to sleep in the street and to eat food from the garbage or ask for food in local restaurants when they are closing and ask for money to people around the street.
Con 1000€ en Madrid puedes ir tirando si compartes piso y no tienes familia ni coche. En pequeños pueblos o ciudades seguramente puedas disponer de un apartamento para ti mismo, pero olvídate de familia y coche. En Madrid, para ir tirando medianamente bien tendrías que ganar el doble, pero sin grandes alharacas. Aún así, estás mejor en España que en Texas.
Thumbs up and watches to the end just because you skipped to the chase!!!👍🏽
Moving to Madrid in October and need all the help I could get regarding accommodation and stuff, would also be nice to make friends before I arrive as well 🤦🏾♀️
Hi ,
I've been accepted at the Real Madrid University for my master's.
Since they don't offer on campus housing so please advice on the cheapest renting places with safety and proximity to the campus. Thanks in advance.
Hola Rachel! Puedes o tienes algun video donde hables de como puede un ciudadano norteamericano irse a vivir a España???
Love it
Te la metieron doblada con lo de la habitación de 550€ jaja
Cobro 1000€ y vivo en Madrid. Pero aún así veo el video, que es interesante jeje gracias por los subtítulos 😁
Hi! Just a correction. Toledo isn't in la comunidad de Madrid. Is in Castilla la Mancha. Btw good vídeo!
Haha I know now! I noted that in my description box lollll. It’s just so close that I always think it’s comunidad de Madrid! My bad :)
Estaría bien que subtitulases el video
Podrías hacer una comparación con USA ¿Texas, a lo mejor?. A los de aquí también nos interesa el punto de vista de alguien que ha vivido en los dos sitios.
Me encanta la idea! ☺️
Thanks for the info. Im moving to Madrid in a few weeks and would love to get in contact with Americans. Is there allot of Americans in Madrid or a community for Americans? I used to Live in LA for manny years and love your kind :D
If you can live on €1000/month that is actually tutorial mode. That's the cost of rent alone for a 1bdr apartment where I live, plus you dont need a car there.
Hi can you update us on the cost of living in Madrid in 2023 not necessarily in the center but within a 30-40 minute train ride...gracias....
I’m planning to apply to be an aux for the 2022-2023 school year. I want to be somewhere that is well connected for travel, but also somewhere that I can learn Spanish. Would you recommend Madrid or suggest another region?
I'm from Barcelona, don't look for this option, because we use catalan(regional language) in the university. Bests options for the university? Salamaca, granada or Madrid, where there are big universities with many students. As much students more fun.
I hope i helped you.
Hola! Me gustaria hacer un master en nutricion! De a es tu master y en q universidad lo haces?
what is the best place to search for apartments in Madrid ?
Can you make a vid on how to get private lessons?
1.000 euros is not a good salary. It's barely de minimum salary which is regulated in 950 euros
Toledo is in Comunidad de Madrid, and Kansas is in Arkansas.
LOL I’m so dumb I realized this mistake after
Toledo es comunidad de Castilla la Mancha... Madrid es solo la capital y si provincia. 😁
Jose Antonio García soy tonta!!! Es verdad jajaj
@@RachelAnne_ But, in the context you say it, you are right. The "abono joven" includes all trips in public transport from Madrid to Toledo and Guadalajara capitals, and some villages of Toledo and Guadalajara provinces, in spite of Toledo and Guadalajara being in Castilla la Mamcha, not in Madrid Autonomous Comunity.
Hi girl! I'm from Texas also , I'm moving to Spain. What are the steps for a student visa !!!
How much did you charge for private lessons? And were you TEFL certified?
Are you able to do all those lessons without having to become an "autónomo"? I mean you don't have to pay the IVA for the money you get from those lessons? Just curious.
Well, giving that Madrid is not a cheap place, 1000 euros seem very little. A single house in the city centre can cost 1000 euros or more of that and still be a very small house, even for Spanish standards. Not to mention the higher prices of everything there...
Te gusta España ? Saludos de un español 🇪🇸
Hola Raquel, nice pointers. I love your videos. That said, Toledo is not in Comunidad de Madrid, it is Castilla la Mancha :P
Also, regarding transportation, it is usually worth it (and cheaper) to buy a 10 travel metro-bus than the abono...
@@jlmdot Toledo, Guadalajara, Tarancón, Seseña, Azuqueca... are in Castilla la Mancha, BUT you can travel to those towns with the "Abono Joven". If you are older than 26, you must pay the E1 or the E2 zones if you want to travel through all Madrid and also those places.
What about Health Insurance?
My daughter, almost 15, wants to work really bad but can't because of her age. We live in Paris. She asks my wife and I constantly to give her ideas. I think your idea of private lessons would work great with her. She is a native speaker, smart, in the 10th grade and is very friendly which would help online. How do you find private lessons or teach online? Thank you very much.
Que chica tan ahorradora !
Yo soy madrileño y me encanta mi ciudad, pero lo que dicen por ahí es cierto: hay muchas otras ciudades pequeñas con mas calidad de vida que Madrid, sobre todo si puedes trabajar desde casa y tener un sueldo proporcionalmente más alto.
Por otro lado, eso no deja de ser como si a un español le dicen que en vez de a New York se vaya a Buffalo: lo que para nosotros es mas tranquilidad para un extranjero puede ser perderse todo el meollo.
550 a high rent for a room in Madrid? I used to share a flat with other 2 girls in Madrid and we paid 500e each, the total rent of the flat was 1500e in the centre, near our jobs in a government office, (we are “funcionarias”) No lower prices than that in the centre
Feliz día de independencia 🥳🥳
Gracias!!☺️
I didn't know you used to make videos in english
Me encantaría que hicieses más vídeos en español, porque me gustan mucho. En inglés no puedo seguirte... Además creo que hablas magníficamente bien nuestro idioma.
muchas gracias ☺️ mi idea es hacer la mayoría de mis videos en español, así que el próximo va a ser en español! Gracias por ver mis videos y apoyar mi canal, lo agradezco mucho 🤍
@@RachelAnne_ me fascina ver qué opinan las personas extranjeras de algo tan cotidiano para mí como es mi país y nuestras costumbres. Hace que aprecie más cosas a las que no doy valor normalmente, como tomar algo, pasear... Quiero decir, lo aprecio, pero para mí es algo normal. Aunque nunca he estado en EEUU, después de ver tanto cine de allí tengo la sensación de conocerlo un poco. La opinión de una chica real de Texas me fascina. ¡Ánimo con el canal, que lo haces muy bien!
Madrid es junto a Barcelona las ciudades más caras de España. Vente Valencia tendrás el mar al lado la misma calidad de de vida o mejor y encima es más barata. Hace poco salió publicado un estudio en el que para los extranjeros las ciudades de mayor calidad de vida de España eran Valencia y Alicante
Hi everyone, I am moving to spain in 5 months. Do any of you have suggestions of website where I could look up rentals for 6months ?:)

Pero ... se supone que el dinero de esas clases particulares tú lo debes declarar( otra cosa es que muyyyy poca gente lo haga ) pero deber se debe declarar, ya que sino estás cometiendo un delito e incurriendo en la economía sumergida

My daughter will move in Madrid next year for 2 years as a student , and I will like if you can to name a few decent areas to look for a room or apart to share with another girl to pay maxim 500€ per person! Thank you!
You can find a nice room anywhere in Madrid for that price! I think the best neighborhoods for students are Malasaña, Chamberi, Moncloa, and Arguelles 🤍
435 por una habitación
Are you going to be an auxiliar this fall?
not this year! but i'll be in spain still (if all goes well) :)
3:07 😆🙌
Súper maja
Love your channel haha but to say that 1000 € is a pretty good salary in Spain 😅.... I mean it is more common than what we would like to admit but I honestly think thay everyone in Spain with this salary will feel ripped off
I agree that it is unfair, especially for people who have been working for multiple years. But thankfully, 1000 euros can get you by in Spain and you can live off of it :) versus in the US, unfortunately you would not be able to survive with $1000 or $1200
@@RachelAnne_ Totally. A studio here in Sw Florida will probably cost u$ 800 alone.
Thanks Rachel !!! Great video.
But remember this is for working 16 hours a week, with the free time you can easily supplement if you have to.
christine cleavest true!! But some problems aren’t as well paid, for example BEDA is 24 hrs a week earning approx 1050€ :( plus planning time, waiting during breaks, etc so it adds up to 35 hrs atleast in the school (in my case). but working for the ministry, it is a great salary in terms of hours:pay. Maybe I’ll do a video explaining these differences!
@@RachelAnne_ I do 24 hours with BEDA ;) after taxes and deductions it's about 1109, the tax return is a nice if small bonus. Lol!
I also live in studio by myself for less than 500, it's less 10 minutes (25 if I walk) outside of the center. I found my place on mil anuncios, a site that is often overlooked. Madrid is definitely more expensive than other cities but as you mentioned depending on your lifestyle and how you manage your resources it is doable and you can enjoy.
Vas muy rápido, y yo de inglés voy justito😅... Pero vale la pena escucharte con esa cara y esos ojos tan bonitos😄... Bueno, si todavía no lo has hecho, te recomiendo que visites Barcelona. ¡Saludos!
jaja perdón!!! es que es información muuuy importante para los extranjeros que vienen a dar clases de inglés y tuve que decirlo rápido para no tener un video de 35 minutos! barcelona esta en mi lista, y creo que iré pronto con los precios bajados con el nuevo tren!
@@RachelAnne_ Estaré atento, pues, a tus nuevas aventuras. Si finalmente vienes por Barcelona, habrá un nuevo Monumento por unos días... ¡Saludos!
Eso no es vivir eso es sobrevivir
just 120? imposible....
El Escorial es muy caro
Madrid y Barcelona son las ciudades más caras
I am going to write this in english because the video is in english.. 😅
Overall the video was great except... 1.000€ is not a good salary anywhere in Spain, in fact, the legal minimun wage in 2021 for a full time job (8 hours) is 950€ (gross, you have to tske social security and other taxes from that amount) a month (on 14 payments a year, 12 months and two extra payments, usually june and december)... so those 1.000€ is basically the lowest amount they can pay you for a full time job.
But this is for a job working 16 hours per week earning 1000 per month, no taxes taken out. They aren't working 8 hours a day.
@@breannaverburgt5824 I know, my ex girlfriend worked as an auxiliar de conversación, but in the video she doesn't say (or at least I don't recall hearing it) that she only works 16 hours a week.
Maybe you know from previous videos, as I did, but just watching this video alone it can mislead some people.
Buen vídeo, pero Toledo no pertenece a la Comunidad de Madrid. Es la capital de Castilla La Mancha.
That's true, but she was talking about the "abono joven", and with this bill you can also travel to Toledo, Guadalajara, and some other towns and villages in Castilla la Mancha: Azuqueca, Tarancón, Seseña, Valmojado... If you are older than 26, this places are in the E1 or E2 zones.
Spoiler: no
Molas mas cuando hablas en castellano jejjeje😜
Lo siento pero 1000 euros no es un buen salario en España ni en ningún lugar del mundo.
Y Rachel se llamaba la protagonista de Friends Jennifer Aniston no és tan difícil 😂
Mínimo en Madrid para vivir bien unos 2500€ al mes
Quien gana 2.500€ con menos de 30 años personaje
Hi Rachel, I think the way you put it is quite misleading. 1k/month may work for a while for students and young people, but it is NOT considered a good salary in Spain, it is in fact the legal minimum. Unfortunately, there are many people who earn that or less, but I doubt that they are very happy with their economy.
Hi! I never said 1k is a good salary. This video is directed towards people wanting to be auxiliares de conversaciones for a limited time here in Spain. It’s to help them understand the difference between 1k a month in Spain and 1k a month in the US, which would be absolutely impossible to live off for any amount of time, vs in Spain is unsustainable for the long term, which I highlighted in the video, but it IS possible with a certain, non-luxury permitting lifestyle.
@@RachelAnne_ I understand, someone sent me this video as an argument to be able to move to Spain with a very low salary and I thought... you can do it for fun for a couple of years... but eventually you will want to kill yourself :D
1000 € por 16 horas?? Es un chollo!!
