How much do you project is the minimal cost of living (comfortable) in Pakistan now
I mean to take into account
The minimal rent a four person family has
Transport

Medicines and other assorted expenses
There was an interesting song called Cost of Living on the charts. By the time it was recorded , they had to change the lyrics 2-3 times cos there is a line where they speak of gas prices being X amount and in that short period of recording they kept going higher!
There is a very unique story about ‘Cost Of Living’], Dunn tells CountryMusicIsLove.
“That song came to me in 2008. Phillip Coleman had written almost the entire song, all the verses and stuff. It didn’t have a title. It didn’t have a hook line [or] a chorus. I asked when I first heard it, if I could have a shot at it, ‘could you just give me two days. I won’t hold it up or anything.”
Coleman agreed to let Ronnie take a stab at the song. As promised, Ronnie came back with a hook **“two dollars and change at the pump, cost of living’s high and going up.”
**Once the song was finished, everything seemed to come together great until an executive at Ronnie’s label felt timing wasn’t working in their favor. “I had one of the record guys saying, ‘the economy will be turned around by the time you can get this song out,’” he says.
Interestingly enough, when the song was first recorded, the hook was “two dollars and change
at the pump, cost of living’s high and going up.”

Before the album was released, Ronnie went in the studio to re-record the line to “three dollars and change at the pump, cost of living’s high and going up.”

**And now the song is “four dollars and change at the pump”.
**Singer refused to modify it more, even though gas price went up yet again.
