Here in Turkey one would be able to live on $10 for one day only. That said, it also means that I can eat at most twice in that day. And since I smoke as well, I won't be able to buy any cigarettes too.

Bread, nasi lemak bungkus, roti canai, tosai, chinese tea, hmm...let's say about RM1.50 per meal (very cheap and the very basic as in just to fill stomach), so RM 32 can go for 20+ meals, so about less than a week. I am living in the city area so even these supposedly cheap food are not that cheap.

RM1.50 is very cheap to Penang as normal meal.
Penang food price raise like crazy,
now almost cost RM3 each meals normally.

That's pretty cheap! The price of a meal here (just for a small portion that you put in the oven) is over $9.00!

Yeah,
but compare with salary,
Student After graduate : Around $300 per month
Experience worker(normal) Around $800 per month
Normal husband earn : Around $1500 per month
If you work as a waiter, you only get $1 - $2 per hour.

And house price
Cheapest : $20 000
Normal Apartment (flat) : $30 000
Single floor house : $100 000 - $ 150 000
Double floor expensive house : $300 000

Normal husband must take around 14 month without eating to buy a cheapest house....

If,
One man, one women with two sons,
they eat $20/day,
they will eat about $600 - $700 per month.
Compare to salary,
do you think our food is cheap....

Petrol price is raising every month too....

Yes, where you're from it is MUCH cheaper. Just to feed one person for breakfast, lunch and dinner will costs at least $20.00 per day, probably closer $30.00. Then, you have to pay either get a mortgage on a house, and a SMALL house here costs over $500,000, or you can rent a normal size house for $30,000 a year.

Where you living,
and average how much a person can earn by working?
Cause have to compare with salary.

[Greyian]

The average salary here is about $70,000. So it would take over 7 years of not eating to get a small house. I live in Ireland.

hi from slovenia. we have euro (€)
10$ is around 6€
for example a meal cost around 4-5€

neither 1 day i think

[nooby4ever]

if you realy what to survive (not luxury) with 10 $ (6euro in my country) you can survive less than a week.. i think 3-4 days.

You but a big bottle of water ea 3days about 1.5 euro, you buy bread 1/2 a day so ea 2 days 1.50 euro

= 6 - 3 (water) -3 (bread)
= 6 days water, 4 days bread and you will survive 4 days + 7 without food => die

hehe
