I want to know about the cost of living and average income in each country. Can I ask that here?
For comparison, may I ask how much a standard meal in your country costs for one meal? what is the standard food menu? What is the average monthly and annual income in your country? Please those who answer can use calculations in USD
Note: I don't need the tables issued by the government because they are usually different from the reality on the ground
I see you are from Indonesia, I also come from Indonesia I live in the capital with my monthly income of $230.
My living costs while living in the capital are quite expensive compared to living in the village.
1. Internet costs = $4/month
2. Transport (top up money) = $20/month (train + bus)
3. Food = $1/day (cook yourself) or $30/month
4. Boarding house = $50/month (outdoor bathroom)
5. Unexpected costs = $60/month
A month is never more than $180. There was even a record under $150 when I wanted to save money.
It all depends on each person's lifestyle. If we live in a capital city with a high lifestyle, then for an income of $230/month, we will never be able to meet our living needs while living in the capital city.
And you are someone who is simple and able to reduce the cost of living, to the lowest level. And we rarely encounter people like this, especially those who live in the capital, most of whom prioritize prestige over function by choosing a high lifestyle.
