The top of that list makes it seem like the Eredivisie is incredibly easy to get goal contributions in.

$3.6k for the UK is incredibly off unless you’re solely talking about London or maybe somewhere like Oxford/Cambridge. It doesn’t cost anywhere near that.

I live in the South East, the “expensive part” of the country outside London, and living costs alone even without being particularly frugal or careful, would be half that. Nomads obviously pay a fair bit more, but this isn’t even ballpark.
