Yes, I would say living in Istanbul is a privilege. It's a beautiful city with so much to offer. However, the cost of living, especially rent, has become very high. It's difficult to make ends meet, unfortunately. I'm lucky to live with my family and not have to pay rent. Overall, I'm grateful to live in Istanbul, despite the challenges.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):
