Re: How much do you pay for gas? (Anonymous replies please!)
(Anonymous) 2013-05-10 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)it always goes up
i think it only went down once, ever
average cost of living... i have no idea, actually. around a thousand dollars a month is pretty okay-ish? some people can scrape by with 600 dollars a month, but will likely be in debt
house prices are cheaper than in the United States, but it really depends on the zone/neighborhood/city/state
minimum wage is laughably small, it's $ 64.76 or $ 61.38 per day, depending on the part of the country you live in
that's like, 5.35 dollars per day. per day, not per hour
so, that's... 0.69 dollars an hour if you're working eight hours?
132.72 a month if you multiply it by 24 days
so 1725.36 a year if you include the yearly Christmas bonus
most people get around on the bus or on cars (or by foot, if needs must)
on the flipside, food is comparetively cheap and abundant (when there isn't an artificial increase, or a real scarcity due to droughts or whatever) (mind you, comparative to other countries, but, right here right now, relative to minimum salary, it's still expensive; there's been jokes about how politicians don't realize just how much the minimum salary doesn't pay for the basic needs)
how do people survive? going into debt, with the help of family (it's much not uncommon for children to live with their parents until they get married and/or can make enough money to get their own home), going to money lenders, informal business, or, sadly, crime
this is not uniform, though. you still have your lower class, middle class, high class divide of society, poor vs rich, etc.
