The prompt

cost-of-living-reality-check.prompt
Create a realistic cost-of-living reality check for {{location}} for a {{lifestyle}} person earning {{monthly_income}} per month. Build a practical monthly budget covering housing, food, transport, utilities, healthcare, entertainment, and unexpected expenses. Explain which costs vary most, what locals tend to optimize, and what lifestyle compromises are required. Show the budget as clear monthly amounts and percentages where reasonable. Distinguish estimates from facts and do not invent current prices. If current pricing is unavailable, say what should be checked locally. Then answer: 1. Is {{monthly_income}} actually enough for this lifestyle in {{location}}? 2. What would feel surprisingly expensive? 3. What would feel surprisingly cheap? 4. What is one realistic way to reduce the monthly cost by 15–20%? 5. Give three nearby or alternative locations that could offer better value, with the trade-off for each. End with a punchy “Worth It?” verdict designed to be useful when shared on social media, followed by a short list of searchable long-tail questions this page answers. Use specific, natural search phrases related to {{location}}, {{lifestyle}}, and cost of living without keyword stuffing.
