Are We Spending A Lot Or Is Life Expensive?

The Story

We are a family of three and spend a minimum of euro 1,500 a month, although we only buy the most necessary and usually the cheapest. We live in our own place, we don't have a car, we don't smoke, we don't drink, and very rarely go to a restaurant or anything like that. We haven't been on vacation in four or five years. Come to think of it, we're living modestly, and two average wages for our city are barely enough. We live in a city that is between medium and large for Bulgaria. Yes, we do not deprive ourselves of anything vital, but we also do not have freedom. If we had to pay rent, I don't know. I don't understand if wages are low, life is expensive, we spend a lot. And how much do you spend on a family member (no rentals, loans, holidays, car maintenance)? I think 700-800 euros is nothing for a family of three compared to Europe, only their salaries if they are 2-3000 euros, ours are 400. True, here it is a little cheaper, but still.
