"Yerevan is unjustifiably expensive! The basic costs for a single person (without rent) are around $800-900. Groceries are expensive, restaurants are expensive (on average 10,000 AMD per breakfast for two people), any activity you want to do (gym, yoga, swimming pool, etc.) is expensive. And I'm not even going to mention the rent, which is just too overpriced and with crappy furniture.
I honestly can't wrap my head around the prices here, not sure how locals are surviving! "
"Also, not mentioning constant water, electricity, gas cut offs that happen almost every week. And that’s in a country’s capital!"
Just imagine - it's summer, +35 degrees Celsius outside, and there's no water to shower or to cook. We had to go to a gym in another district that had water just to take a shower.
Another example, I work remotely, so I need electricity and Internet. There were days when we got electricity cutoffs for the whole day (thus, no Internet), and I was forced to find a place (a cafe or coworking space) to just work.

Armenia became truly a village, not even a country of the third but the forth world. It may be a shame, I can understand that but this is simply not a country but a joke. The locals, here in the comments or elsewhere in social networks, will tell you anything but the truth they obviosely cannot or unwilling to accept it. However I believe the one must have guts to accept the bitter truth.

Your salary even wouldn't be sufficient to pay the rent of a normal studio
Stay away from Yerevan if you think you can work and live like a local it's a trap when you see the lower prices, the the minimum wage of 150$ A MONTH!
