As we all know, in MTF gather lots of different people from lots of different countries and that is the premise of this thread......
I thought of naming it How much do you earn, but I don't think anyone would like to tell me about it. So, as we differ from societies I was curious about how much does it cost buy cigarettes, a coffee, or rent a place to live....
(all prices will be in U$s)

I, Denaon ;) , live in Buenos Aires, and I earn $850.00 (pesos argentinos) per month about U$s 300.00.- :eek: (shame on you Argentina!)
To buy cigarettes you have to spend $ 3.50 = U$S 1.24
A coffee with two or three croissants pretty much the same to ciggies
To rent an apartment, f.i. where I live right now, I spend $ 350.00 = u$s 124.00

Let me hear from you!!!!

erm.... Rosie has got most of the English stuff covered..

but...

pint of beer (where I live in the South of England, not taking into account of student prices) - £2.50 = $4.60

cinema - £6.00 = $11.20

i pay £250 ($468) a month for rent but I share with two others so our house rent is £750, not including bills..

I can't wait to move!!!!!

Ok, how about Mc Donald's Big Mac??

In Buenos Aires $ 8.25 = u$s 2.92, that is hamburger with medium soda and medium frites.

We need worldwide data here ;)
As a vegetarian, I wouldn't go near a MacDonalds - but I just asked a colleague at work and she said a burger with fries and a coke would be about £5.00 here which is about $8.00.

bumping...

because it came up in the context of how much the MTF subscription ($20/yr) might really be worth where you are.....
:D you're fast!!!! :lol:

Yeah, I told AQ that 20 per month ( I got confused about it) was way too much what I could pay for, but $20/yr as it is ( I have that cleared) it's not much at all.

Hmmm.
Our county mantains six clay courts for free, public use.
:eek: Is this Henrico County? Could I play, being a state resident, or do you have to live in the county?
