$400 a month is enough in my country. I know this is very low but its a reallity. And we can hang on lower than $400. How about your country? How much? Can you hang on with your earning?

you need at least $3000 a month in my area just to be comfortable.it's crazy. everything is overpriced,and 2K of that is just rent alone.

Wow that's very high for us. Maybe in my country just an actor or a Manager of company can hang on with that $3000 a month. Oh my God, can you stay with that?

you have to have a lot of roommates or several jobs,which is a pain in itself.i would prefer to move to a cheaper area,but i care for my mom and she won't budge. she was born here,so she's being stubborn.

i think about 500 dollars a month would be a tight budget for a single person renting, and is paying monthly bills. this is not for those who have a finally who can send their child to a school and have a decent life.

In my country, $400 can handle everything. A Primary living can be handled with that money like rental a house, food, dresses, etc. So, how much your people's salary average?
