That tells how bad their economy really is.
I hear stories from people there. They might be the strongest country as some would say it but people who live in it are not that rich.
They have to work so hard just to make a little money and then they need to pay a lot of bills including insurance and mortgage.
Some of them just migrates in Asia when they retire.
Their money in exchange for countries there is better and they could live in peace.
$2000 is a lot when you are in a different country. That is monthly.
