Re: How much do you pay for gas? (Anonymous replies please!)

(Anonymous) 2013-05-10 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
around 0.91 of an American dollar in Mexico, but it keeps going up around 0.10 or so of an American dollar every year

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.
