We asked expats if they save money living in Turkey. They said...

"Living in Turkey can be significantly cheaper than living in the United States. The cost of living in Turkey is generally lower than in the United States, with rent, groceries, and other everyday expenses costing much less. Additionally, the Turkish currency, the lira, is weaker than the US dollar, making it easier to stretch your money further. Furthermore, Turkey has a wide range of affordable entertainment options, from outdoor activities to cultural attractions, making it a great place to live on a budget," explained one expat living in Turkey.

"Yes. Costs of electric, gas and water are far cheaper than in the UK. Also taxes are also less. The cost of cars here are more than in the UK, with 2nd hand car prices here very expensive compared to the UK. Petrol and disel prices are if not one of the most expensive in the world, even more than in the UK," said another expat in Antalya, Turkey.
