True, but that's only if you make the money overseas and then spend it in Nigeria. But the exchange rate is irrelevant if you make the money overseas and spend it overseas. O pari paiz: 4 Likes |

$120 for 4 hours of work, cutting grass? That's about $30 per hour? First of all, that's a BS story. Absolutely not true. For such a job anywhere in the US, you can't make more than the minimum wage - less than $10/hr in most places. But even if we're to take this story as told, let me tell you what you don't know. More than 40% of your salary goes into taxes (Fed tax, state tax, social security tax, medicare tax etc etc.), then you gotta consider all the bills: cable tv, phone, internet, cell phone, gas, electricity, water, rent/mortgage, car note, car registration, etc etc. After paying all those bills bro, by the end of the months, your bank account would be empty....regardless of how much you make. Like I previously stated, problem with living overseas is that this money is accumulated here and then spent here. I wish there's a way I could be working in America while living in Nigeria: now, that's my dream life O pari O pari obajoey: 4 Likes |

lilbest4: How much of that money do they give back to Landlords in rent? How much tax do they pay? How much is travel? These are some of the things you people don't include in your 'calculations' of how much money people abroad actually have. The average price for a one bedroom flat in Switzerland ( which is one of the most expensive places in Europe) is almost 1200 dollars and that is outside the city centre. Singapore is one of the most expensive cities in the world so cost of living is also high. |

Jethrolite: The person living in a 2500 dollars apartment has reasons - he doesn't want to live in a poor neighborhood where guns fly over your head at night, where robbery is rampant or maybe a place closer to work. It is a necessity. 3 Likes |
