Well you see the problem is that people who make 35k USD and live in USA have CoL to mach in USD and aren’t in Moscow. My rent for my 1Br is $21,600 yr. That means $13,400 is for everything else for the rest of the whole year (based off of 35k annual).
So why am I not buying several flats a year? Because your looking at how one currency works in an entirely different economy. Not within it’s own economy. Your wage probably buys you a TON somewhere else in the world too. The problem is that you aren’t there, you are where you are now where that wage is far less effective
