3 x Thai Lunches :D
2/3 of a CD (like, music album)
3x bread and milk
10x 1.25L of cola

About 140-150 SEK, so 1-2 hours of labour, depending on salary.

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



Damn I like that. Had I actually gone on more than 3 dates in high school I'd have been all over Singapore. Movie tickets are 15$ each here, and dinner is at least 10 a person at cheap ass places.

Also, minimum wage is 9.50 here in Canada's Province of Quebec. 20 USD is approximately 20.60 CAD. So a month of gom is 2 hours of unskilled labor. Not bad.

$20 US seems to go quite a bit further here in the US than it does in Europe

A part time job for a college student that pays $23 here is also quite rare/hard to get. Average is probably $10-12 an hour for undergrad part timers. I guess higher wages make up for higher cost of living.

$20 USD are 20 McDouble cheeseburgers at McDonald's. That's a lot of food

Wow.

20.00 USD = 21.1797 AUD

~15% of my monthly Internet & phone bill. Just over a 6-pack of Hoegaarden. Less than one IMAX movie ticket. About 17 litres worth of unleaded. About two shitty fast-food meals.

1 USD = 3.0079 PLN
so 20 USD =~ 60 PLN.

...
5 movie tickets at my local cinema.
3 or so dinners.
around 15-20 beers depending on your tastes.
probably enough for 1 music CD
13.2L of gas for your car

It's interesting to me how prices themselves seem to vary from place to place. I can only get 1.5 movie tickets with $20, but I can buy a CD with it as well. You'd think that I'd only be able to get half a CD or something, comparing my prices to yours.

EDIT: Out of curiousity, what is minimum wage (converted to USD) for some of you guys out there? For the USA, the federal minimum wage is 7.25 right now (which is followed in about half the states.)

20 USD is around 800Php at the very least.
my mom can use that to feed a family of 7 for a 2~3 weeks if I'm not mistaken.

two family size pizzas from pizza hut is also a good deal. or a good dinner for a family of our size in a good enough resto.

Not all countries have your system of paying. For example, salaries can be given every week or month (mostly) in Bulgaria.
So to answer your question, 240 BGN which is 160 USD per month. This is the minimum salary.

20$ is around 100 KN

3 or 4 pizzas
around 18 liters of beer or 10 liters of wine (the crappiest money can buy, my brand !)
3 cinema tickets
1 month of internet
16 loafs of bread, more or less (1kg)
3-4 big mac meals
5 packs of cigarettes

the average person needs to work around 3-4 hours for 20$, when I have no income of my own, i get around 20$ a month from my parents to spend, so yeah 20$ goes a long way here.

In Poland:
minumum wage/hour: 2,19 euro (2,85 USD)
minumum wage/month: 351 euro (456,3 USD)

In Belgium:
minumum wage/hour: 7,93 euro (10.31 USD)
minimum wage/month: 1'259 euro (1'636.7 USD)

1 euro = 1.3 USD

20 usd ~= 4300 huf (forints) here. That would buy you either one of the following:

4 cinema tickets
2 tickets + huge popcorn and coke to go with each
10 pints of a decent beer in a bar or 30 bottles of the same beer in a supermarket
2 copies of the SC+BW expansion pack bundle
25 liters of normal cow milk
6 Big Macs
and its around 7% percent of a monthly minimum wage and about 2% of the average. (so on average its about 3.5 hours' work's worth of money)

BW fighting!
