RE: What to be broke means to me and how it affects me

Thanks a lot for this post! It greatly shared a perspective I've never had: How is life in a country of the "global south"?
When I read "₦10,000" I immediately jumped to google, only to find out that this translates to about 5-6€.
When I then read that you are able to stretch this for 3 days, I was purely astonished and proceeded to ask ChatGPT if I didn't get something correctly. But I was confirmed in my assumption and informed that it may be possible to eat out in a restaurant in Lagos for as low as ₦2,000.

I of course understand that not only prices are lower in Lagos, but that wages scale down with it. I understand that just because from my western lens prices seem low, it doesn't mean the same for someone living off a local wage. All I wanted to share is that I'm astonished by how huge the gap in different regions of the world actually is.

Best of luck to you! Keep posting :)
Maybe - if you want and know what to write about - write some more posts that show the difference of the reality of life in your country compared to western countries. (And don't forget to tag me so I dont miss out on that!)
