Not good, most people live paycheck to paycheck. High unemploynent rate when not summer because we only have jobs in tourist season which is summer. If you aren't living in a bigger city 0 public transport.
If you live in smaller cities/countryside you will most likelly be forced to drive at minimum 10km to closest store's, or 60+km to closest er and 100+ km to any decent hospital that's any good.
And let me not starting about the fact we adopted euro recently and the inflation which mak£s us try to survive on 850 euro wage with 500 euro rent and food costs where just one day trip to the store will eat up 25 euro minimally.
As a tourist atraction croatia is amazing, but as a place to live in it's not unless you are lucky and came from outside the balkans, in chich case you can thrive in the country as shown by a lot of americans who come ti live in Croatia after living on high wage jobs there and having expendable money ( average yearly income here barelly passes 12k euro last time I checked ).
Most of the days I just have one meal, at like 4 or 5 pm. While being up since like 3-5am cause of work.
And I still maintain 80-82kg weight.
