But pared with Western Europe, the rents are extremely low.An Eastern European spends on average about 5 percent of his ine on rent and about 15 percent on total housing costs, including fuel and furniture. In Western Europe, the average worker spends at least 20 percent of his ine on rent and heating cost. On the other hand, the Eastern European spends a higher percentage of his ine on food. Whereas basic items such as bread are very cheap, other things like meat and coffee are extremely expensive.Caring for people is one area where the states of Eastern Europe are far in advance of other parts of the world.
