Average wages must be compared equally. 3,700 per year in one country is a millionaire, in another its poverty.

When you think about the same money in different countries and cultures and what and how some of these people live it makes you think of the saying that some folks are using now. "Less is more" My dad would say its what you do with the money you have.

In 1960 in California, most my age thought everyone in Texas rode horses and wore six shooters too. There was even a company in boot camp made up of Texans only.
I wasn't tall enough to get in that company. I sold my boots for 3 times what I paid for them. When I got to Japan I wore Wellington boots and was asked often if I knew
John Wayne. Of course I did. And yes, when I die I will be buried in a match box.
