How much does it cost to live where you live?
Hi geeks.
I have a lot of friends and family living abroad, and a constant subject when we communicate is the cost of living. Let's learn something new from our different countries, comparing prices of some common commodities all around the world.
Of course this kind of comparison is not very reliable, but at least it gives some information.
I'll start, trying to choose something available in most countries.
No code has to be inserted here.
Notice:
- Bic Mac = only the burger. Meals start at €6.49
- Computers and the car mentioned = the price of the cheapest basic model, no extras
- Rent mentioned is inclusive electricity, gas, water and waste collecting, in a normal neighborhood
- Software developer's salary is inclusive the paid yearly holiday, information from the trade union
- Euros to dollars = exchange rate at the moment of posting
Please tell what these things cost in your corner of the world.
