I do not know any nations with 17 dollars per month salary, maybe daily? That is a super low amount, I do not think that even the poorest nations would have such a thing maybe aside from Venezuela, even my nation which is doing horrible in economy, has like 250 dollars per month to 300 dollars per month minimum wage, it is still quite low of course but not 17, that is just too wild. In that regard 850 dollars investment could be found by just signature campaigns and you would be a wealthy person from the income of that alone, plus all the investments you could do.
17 dollars per month minimum wage look unrealistic to me maybe per day as you have rightly said, my country has a minimum wage of about $30 a month and this is 18 thousand naira in my local currency until recently the government increased it to $47 that is 33 thousand Nigeria naira which is still very poor considering the cost of living that has increased greatly since after covid 19. So a $17 minimum wage is quite an unthinkable amount to earn as a worker because that amount will cripple workers purchasing power and the inflation rate will skyrocket in such an economy.
