    6,000 RMB

    this is probably the wrong thread for this but holy fuck... if you earn that in brazil you're straight up in the "upper" middle class (like, class B by income levels, going from the lowest E to the highest A), most likely living well with a wife and a single kid

    i'm not even joking, that would put you right up in the 25% to 15% richest depending on the region

    our per capita gdp isn't even that much worse than china's.......... jesus i really do live in a fucked country

      How well do people pulling in Class B income levels live? I'm ashamed to say I know very little about Brazil aside from Bolsanaro and the indigenous struggle.

        our biggest expense is, like everywhere else, our rent - i live in a 3-bedroom, 2-bathrooms, 76 m² apartment with a balcony in a closed community and my rent is about 1/5 of that

        it's hard to adjust by ppp because it changes so much by region, but if you do it nationally it's more like 1/3

        honestly 6,000 RMB would be a reasonable amount of money in all of latin america and i bet in any other 3rd world country, that a food delivery worker could ever earn this is absolutely unthinkable to me

        unless i'm messing up on the math here
