Shannon Kyra Liannanon gdapw Shannon Kyra Liannanon gdapw Shannon Kyra Liannanon Hey! I’m talking! cat_scream
o.Ol|l
Ok, I’m done. Go back to your babble So you can understand why countrys outside of the US are all like gonk when they complain about thier prices? Hey! I’m talking! cat_scream
and if we compare currencies...theirs might be stronger than ours, so it might mean nothing
Ok, I’m done. Go back to your babble "Based on conversion to gallons, and current exchange rate" Reread it, Im a nerd I always do my maths. Hey! I’m talking! cat_scream
so one US dollar means how many of whatever their equivalent is? (a pound?)
and how much were they showing in their currency?
Ok, I’m done. Go back to your babble
If you would like to do the maths, We are ~ $2.15 NZD per Litre, and England is showing on the cheap end 137.5p ($1.375GBP) per Litre. |

Hey! I’m talking! cat_scream
which means that they've got a stronger currency, so they're actually paying less, so they can shut up.
actually, we all need to shut up about gas prices and just enjoy funny stuff on YouTube like the thread i (fairly) recently posted

Shannon Kyra Liannanon But yeah America is a extremely cheap place to live-my sister is paying $600/month for a 4-room apartment your fast food is amazingly cheap-and usually disgusting your groceries-$300+/month? electronics-video games, when new are almost $100, for example cars-$20,000+ after all the interest? Just general everything is cheap in America-not really
Yeah it is
$600 for her own apartment? Here you are looking at $150 a week just to rent a room in someones house. If your looking for your own place even a one bedroom rental will be at the very least $300 a week for a really cheap place ($300 a week = $1100USD a month for a gross place).
"Last year, it determined a "basic" food bill for a man, woman, adolescent boy and girl, ranged from $274 a week in Auckland, to $263 in Christchurch"
We do grocerys every 2 weeks, and I can asure you we do not really splurge but a basic 2 week shop for us with not much meat is ~$300 (So rougly $612 USD for basics)....Though if we lived up to what the goverment expected was basic living we would be closer to $1000 a month.
Games we arent too far behind. We can still get new games for between $100 - $150USD.
Name any model of car and we can compare the US and the NZ price. But a quick compasin from my search is at least double in NZ.
If you are lucky enough to travel one day you will see it.
I may have only lived in America for ~18 months, and only 3 months or more in NJ, WI, OH, NV and CA, but I can assure you those states at least were crazy cheap compared to things back here.
So things may not seem cheap to you...until you actually look at what people are paying overseas. |

Hey! I’m talking! cat_scream
around here, $600/month for an apartment that's about 500 square feet is cheap. and they pay for cable themselves, and food, and all that fun stuff...
now, paying to be on, say, Gaia would SUCK. you can't argue that
Ok, I’m done. Go back to your babble |

Either way you look at it, even if thats a small apartment, its still more than half the price of anything (and I mean anything) here.
And the $1100USD you pay a month for a cheap place here, dosent include anything either. All utilities are extra.
Indeed, I like that people who know how to use gold, can make gold easily enough, and those who cant be bothered can just buy thier way in. It works well. |
