Purely objectively, it turns out that mainly in the United States all in one and a half times cheaper. Only more expensive cigarettes - then the cost starts from $ 7. Because smoke and a little - a very expensive work. But the people concerned.
But that's not all, here, for example, in Belarus, too, on all food prices lower, but wages also at times less. As in the United States?
Earlier, I compared the average salary in Russia (22,600 rubles a month) and the US ($ 47,000 per year, or 113,936 rubles a month).
The difference is more than 5 times, and prices in Russia 1.5 times.
The question arises:
