The cost of living is our daily reality, affecting every aspect of our lives. For me, it is even more complicated because I live in two different regions. My family lives in the south of the country, and I live in a northern part of the country. People in the two places have different lifestyles, different sources of income, and even different prices for daily necessities. While some products are relatively cheap in the southern cities, the same products are much more expensive in the northern cities. Similarly, there is a big difference in transportation costs or house rent. But the interesting thing is that at the end of the day, my expenses in both places remain almost the same. Because I follow a specific spending schedule in both places, so that my expenses are in line with my income.
