$24/hour for a random part time job would be very good money here in the US. Sounds like stuff is generally quite a bit more expensive up in Scandinavia though so it balances out.

You're right though, I think for a majority of people not wanting to spend the $20 is more out of being cheap and having the mindset that watching sc/sc2 is something that should be free.

I worked as a waiter over the summer and on average I made about $12/hour counting hourly wage+tips.

At the restaurant where I worked $20 would cover 2 of the cheaper entrees + 2 margaritas (only $1.99 each!!)

But that would run up to about exactly $20 so you'd need more to tip me or I'd find you....

Which is about 18 liters of beer in the supermarket here.

It's about 3 big Mc Donald's combos

Note to self: If in Argentina, drink beer for calories instead of going to McDonalds.

$20 = £12.7920 as of 2010.09.19, 16:54:01 UTC

... I must say, Britain's £ has taken such a huge drop in value. I remember a time when for £13 I could get a steak from a classy restaurant, a cinema ticket and then I could also get a taxi home...

Nowadays £13 barely buys anything. :/

20 bucks can buy you one entree at a semi expensive restaurant.

A Wii game not including tax. (well, SOME wii games)

A book, like a novel, but not a huge novel or a recently published novel.

Mostly because I thought of the blog while reading through the GSL threads, seing how much 20 dollars seemed to differ for people.

1-2 bottles of booze
a pack of 10-15 (quality) condoms

20 USD = 10.000 Pesos aka 10 lucas.

You can get like 7~8 good strong joints. Buy between 10 and 12 liters of national beer. Or Buy a quality pizza.

Also like 5+ boxes of condoms (3 on each)

20USD$ = 19.41 CDN$

$19.41 will get you 1.8 movie tickets here( or 1.4 for a 3D movie).
$19.41 will get you about 2.5 meals at McDonald's.
$19.41 will get you the cheapest thing at a decent restaurant.
$19.41 will get you 1.25 X-Large pizzas (or 1.58 Large).
$19.41 will get you about 12 0.33L beer bottles.

Shit is expensive.

Don't ask how i know but in Nicaragua you can get a hooker for 10 dollars, so 20 dollars equals 2 hookers.

24 USD for part time job? that's pretty good I have to say.

$20 USD in Australia will get you 1 pack of 20s smoke and a coke or 1 25s smoke :/

Or it could feed a person for two days depending on where you shop.

Minimal wage don't make sense here. You get fucking secretaries and administration staff that takes home 50K a year while skilled professionals sometimes barely making minimal wage -_-

it's a lot when you consider that all other SC content in the WORLD is free (or at least any respectable content is).

not to mention that for koreans/chinese IT IS FREE. this isn't just about 20$, it's about telling gretorp that we arent a bunch of fucking suckers and that we wont pay for shit that should always be free.

20 dollars is food money for a week for me provided I have rice already. If I lack rice, it's 40 lbs of rice, enough for me for several months :3

Oh and 48 cans of Milkis. Screw beer yo

$20 is a gram of weed, a decent dinner with my girlfriend, or a movie with my girlfriend.

$12 an hour is Baller status until you have a college degree.

uk
standard salary = £5.80/hour ($9/hour)

$20 = £12.80

2x movie ticket
coke & popcorn at cinema = £6.50
2.3 mcdonalds
8 cans of beer = £7.50
2 really shit british pizzas
a bus to work/school and back (depending where you live, without bus pass) = £7
150g of sliced ham = £2 iirc
2 litres of milk = £1.10 or £1.80 depending where you live

i wished people posted their standard/minimum wages too, it makes it more relevent to show their actual standard of living rather than a hypothetical one
