There is high traffic to DP from India. How much can one USDollar buy in India?

The girl in slumdog millionaire is surely hot. (I am an Indian)

Oh well radhika.. will you go out with a guy who earns $20k/mo?
You should be hot and yes, you should be a girl. Let me know

 

Opinions Always vary from person to person

But i do believe that in india, it depends upon the city u r staying in, the kind of lifestyle u wanna hav n blah blah blah

 

What angle you are seeing??

Acute?
Obtuse or
Right angle ????

 

She is not so hot like u think..
There are tons of other hot chicks
If u are getting 3.5K/mo, you can live well..
1 bottle beer= 1.5$
Nice lunch<2.5 $
If u got $20K/mo i bet u ll be living in luxury that u cant imagine

 

1$ wer i live

 

I thought I heard a doctor makes $7k USD a year and that is upper middle class?

 

That is middle class.

Upper middle will make > 10K.

 

makes the uk seem expensive.

2.5$ for a meal?

 

See.. There is nothing conclusive and perfect when you get these answers.India is so huge and diverse by all means that not many will be able to give you an answer to a degree to you would expect.

Go 30 kms east you don't understand the language and know not what you are being served in the hotel.

You will find a construction worker having a mobile but a manager not having one.

You will see someone making 300$ per month having a bike but a 100 times wealthy man not having a cable television connection. India is fun!

Rich and the poor, communists and capitalists, christians and muslims, scammers and spammers ( Uhhh... That did bring a smile on your face.. huh?) co exist.

 

what do you mean by that?

you go on some big rant, all i said was its cheaper than the UK at those prices.

 

Hey!! It was not directed at you... Nothing personal....

 

ahh sorry i took it wrong, its hard to tell sometimes over the internet.

no hard feelings

 

Thats okay! No problem at all.

 

Nintendos and Buffalos

er spare me.

If you can survive on $10 a day I'll move there

Right now 1k a month is all I need to live here in the happiest place in the world Murdertown USA.

 

Damn, dat's f** up..While in US dem docs make around like 90-150k a year. Doc in india sure get pay way less. Anyway India still trying to come out from a third world status, dat will change soon.

 

$10 iz a lot my friend. I heard most of dem Indians population live on $1-3 day

 

it is enough.. coz the cost of living is much cheaper in india.. (Depending on the place)

 

15k per month is required for a normal family to live in my place

 

I don't know what you are talking About. Till a few months back I made $10k/month and I was no way near upper middle class. Upper Middle Class is atleast $10,000/month rather than per year.

You can "Survive" anywhere in the world for $10/day.

Good Docs in India make Around 30-50k/year it's the those run of the mill docs who make below 10k/year.

Thats right 35% people live below $1/day. That comes out to 400 million people. Roughly the population of US.

 

Well, I am a pass out from IIT Delhi.. don't want to brag about it. but yes, IIT Delhi is the best Undergraduate university in India and like 3rd-4th in the world. And, Yet. An average package after you graduate from that college/university is around $12k/year. Surely sucks.
The point is yet the guy from that college earning 12k a year can live is life well happily here 'initially'...

Whatever it be.. I make more than that amount in a month. And, thats when I dun understand if I wasted my four years reading all that shitty engineering books, or I was luckier to have my interest in WWW.

All those who say India is third world, esp. Americans, please check back the status of Indians in your country and what the status of your country would be if there were no Indians working there. Agreed You got money, but we got the brains

Well, as for OP.. 1USD is nothing, but 1000USD is a lot here.
I wont agree for 2.5usd meals, you just get enough to fill your stomach.
But, what matters more is how much you earn and how much you require to survive.
Earnings - Survival Requirement = % Luxury
