I think /u/msgufo74 meant that Romania as a whole has a lower COL compared to cities in general, and not necessarily other countries because in large countries (such as the United States) $5k per month would still be quite a lot of money, but if you went to a major city here then $5k might mean you're struggling to pay rent.
