    Hi,

    I'm just being curious as to what is the value of money in your country. This is for people from developed nations only. People from Indian Subcontinent Please don't reply. :)

    What can $100 buy in your country?
    How many hours of work earns you $100?
    etc. :p

    I charge my real world clients AUD$60 an hour.

    $100 can fill my car up with petrol (apx 55 litres), buy me a six pack of Coopers Stout, a foot long Subway and a decent cup of coffee.

    And unfortunately, that's how I spend most of my money... petrol, booze, Subway. Pretty sad really.
