Now you're doing it again, but with wages instead of grocery prices. You're not making $70 000/year net in the US by working for McDonalds, that's just bullshit.
Where did I claim that a fast food worker is making $70k?
Also, seems that you are full of shit.
Looking up on numbeo and the average cost of living in Finland is $850 eur per person. And the average rent is $1000 (3 bedrooms) Outside of Centre.
Those are national averages. You can also find a place in the US where $500 gets you a house, so the fact that you're personally living somewhere remote is irrelevant.
You just did in your example, it's also in OP's post. Do the math yourself, it's all bullshit and the math is wrong.
Read that again a few times, I'll let you figure out what's wrong. Hint: living cost include all the essentials, rent/loan, utilities, groceries and transportation.
OP's meme claim a living cost of almost $2000/mo in EU while the US monthly living cost would be $666. So tell me, where in the US can you survive on only $666/mo.
And yet you compare the most expensive metrics in Europe with the lowest wages in Europe.
No doubt about it, there are many really poor areas in the US where you don't even have utilities and basically rent a trailer in the middle of nowhere. You think the people who live there make anything near $100k yearly? That's what the meme claims, keep dreaming.
The cost of living doesn't include rent, it includes food, amenities, and travel.
The rent is in addition to the cost of living. If you had checked the site you would have seen that's clearly mentioned.
I'm talking to an actual retard.
You believe those few things cost $2000/mo in EU, now that's retarded.
