20 (USD) = 121.68(NOK)
20 (USD) = 15.27(EUR)
20 (USD) = 23143.51(KRW)
Now the thing is that im seeing, is that how much 20 dollars is, seems to vary by ALOT. I am currently studying, have a parttime job that pays me 23,83 US dollars an hour, so for me, basically I go to work for one hour, and get countless hours of GSL content for my 1 hour of work. For atleast most norwegians and scandinavians, 1-2 hours of work should translate into 20 bucks and some popcorn to enjoy GSL.
Now as I have started to understand, things arent like that in the rest of the world. It sounds like if you pay 20 bucks, your gonna be starving the rest of the month.
When I was paying for the GSL, I thought a bit about comparative value for the hours of entertainment I got.
1 cinema ticket + 1 coke equals 20 bucks here in Norway.
1 Large takeout pizza equals 20 bucks (with sauce)
1 Night at the bowling alley (food not included), 30 bucks
3 magazines, 20 bucks
1 dinner out 30-40 bucks
1 liter (0,26 gallons) with liquour (vodka) 67 !! dollars
1 sixpack of bear, around 20 bucks
Basically this is just a general outline on how it is in Norway, but I also think Scandinavia can be include ( they have cheaper alchohol)
This wasnt entirely made to come off as a jackass, but more to see what the "comparative" value of 20 bucks are other places.

20 US bucks can get you a decent high-school date night out here
pair of movie tickets + dinner

Wow the tax on alcohol is so high in norway..
|
Why don't you compare 20 bucks to free stream lol
|
20$ is ~30 BGN
this is
18l of beer,
3-4 cinema tickets depending ot place (it is 5 in my town),
3 big pizzas + soda
my mounthly internet fee + an ice-cream
free stream + 20$ leftover

i live in germany and its about the same as in norway it seems. Maybe a bit cheaper 1-2 dollars each.
However in different countries there is different income for jobs and money doesnt have the same value in every country.
For example in east-european countries 20 dollars is ALOT because things in that countries are much cheaper, but they also earn less.
See it this way (numbers not reality):
In country A a person earns 100 dollars a month. its not much.
Food and other stuff are total 100 dollars a month so they have enough money.
In country B a person earns 800 dollars a month, however food and other things are more expensive so they spend almost all that 800 dollars in a month.
Now you can see for a person in country A its harder to spend 20 dollars on GSL, but for a person in country B it doesnt really change anything.
---
Another thing is that people here(esports forums) tend to cry alot when they have to pay for something so they exaggerate alot how its way too much. In reality everyone could just not to to cinema 1 or 2 times so they can easily afford GSL. Its just the nature of ppl and nobody will starve because of GSL -.-

20us$ = 80 pesos here.
Which is about 18 liters of beer in the supermarket here.
It's about 3 big Mc Donald's combos
Can get you dinner for 2 in a modest bar/restó or a pretty good dinner for 1 (steak/whatever).
It's 3-4 big pizzas.
|
It's about 900-1000 Philippine Pesos so
1) Dinner for two at a high-class expensive place
2) Movie tickets for 5 people
3) A book at an expensive bookstore (4 paperback ones at an inexpensive bookstore)
4) More than twice the minimum wage for a day
5) 25 or so bottles of beer (pegging it at a high price)
6) 15 or so 350mL bottles of cheap awful quality gin
7) 10 Stored-Value Light Rail Transit Cards
8) 9 Mc Donalds Combo Meals
5 of my friends and I were out eating korean barbecue last night, we had 2 servings of pork (each serving good for 2), one of beef, also had chapchae, kimchi chicken soup, one rice each, and a pitcher of Coke. One of my friends treated but I'd say we spent around that amount.

I must say, norwegians bears do sound quite cheap. Do you play TF2 by coincidence?
+ Show Spoiler +
In all seriousness the prices in Denmark are almost identical to the ones you mentioned, exept for our alcohol being cheaper.
Edit: Damn, too slow with the bear.

my family members who work at a: factory job, and Family Video, make 9 dollars an hour, 20 is a good deal
|
20$ ~~ 30 TL (a little less), which is:
1- 12 cans (or bottles) beers or something like that.
2- %5 or something like that of minimum monthly salary.
3- 2 big pizzas
4- 2 steakhouse menus in burger king
5- half of the money i pay for public transportation in a month.
6- movie tickets for 3 people.
7- 2/3 of the money i spend on a date (i'm definitely not a cheapskate)
8- %60 of the money i spend on capoeira classes for each semester (capoeira classes are SO cheap in my university).
9- 1/13 of the money i spend in every month.
10- 1/2 of the 60cc bottle of a good tequila (srsly, taxes for alcohol is super fucking high in Turkey).
|
20.00 USD = 114.238 DKK
= 19 liters of normal (read: non organic) cow milk
I think cow milk is a currency that is very useful in a discussion like this because its avialable everywhere. Theres no additional tax on milk like there is on cars and beers. Milk is an everyday use product, and i dont remember how it is, but everyday use products have a special relation to inflation, that makes it good for comparebility issues.

Fuck studying bro with the money you earn an hour you would be making 3600 dollar a month :']
No wonder you earn so much you have to pay fucking 20 bucks for 6 beers lol.
20 Bucks in the Netherlands gives me 2gr of weed, a month worth of premium TV channels in HD ( Including Porn, Sport and Movie channels :'d ) or 3 six packs of Beer.

£12 over here. A cinema ticket is £7, so that and a coke and a tiny popcorn. Excludes petrol or bus fair!
Gets you one large pizza from a pizza chain. Two magazines. Three movie rentals. One quarter of a TV boxset.
A.K.A. very reasonable, but the VOD quality should be higher!
