My salary is around 10k too and I'm happy with it as I live in India. One of the cheapest city in country I live in. As my country still developing there exits problems with Sakarya structure and prices of valuable goods. The ratio is always fluctuating and sometimes it expensive for me and sometimes it is easy.
I don't mean to be rude, and correct me if I'm wrong, but $10k/year in India is incredibly good for a citizen there, right? I'm kind of curious what you pursue for your line of work, but I don't want to ask you if you don't want to tell me.
Nearly 3/4s of a million rupees in India is incredibly valuable, right? I'd have to check the Big Mac Index but that's probably some top 1% tier wages right there.
