Re: Cost of Living

People don't seem to have realistic viewpoints about costs and life in Pakistan. :) For once Naabigh I don't feel like getting out mirage's holy gun for you :)

I was in a silly mood - so though I would throw in the "Humare Zamaney" phrase for fun - that my dada (in Tamil of course) would use.

Anyway, add 10K to my 30K estimate for onen car, and it appears to be spot on with your estimate. Not too far off!

Re: Cost of Living

1 indian rupee = 1.77 PKR.

So 25000 Indian rupees as quoted by southie is 44242.43 PKR.

Naabigh's estimate of minimal cost of living as 40 K was better. Southie was close.

Re: Cost of Living

But southie, wasn't your estimate in indian rupees?

You need to keep the currency difference in mind.

Yea yea we all fine … Let us order another round of

Actually the thing , no one figured out from OP 's posts is - and one should better tell her that up front that .. The luxuries ( please pardon me for calling them luxurious ) you can afford , while earning a minimum wage in west , are nothing more then a dream , if you are on a minimum wage here ..

For example a 6’’ subway sandwich with a drink which cost you around 3 £ in UK , cost you around 125 rupees in India , is around 250 rupees here !

Now tell me - does some body , who is living on a minimum wage here , could dare afford them every day ?

It is okay - same as one color’d fella calling another ’ Niger ’ … It is offensive , when some one from other nationality uses it
