      That’s a shit ton of money for someone that is “broke and desperate”. This is from a European cost of living PoV. In india it is probably a shitton of money

      EDIT: this comment is wrong. See responses below.

          Ah my bad. The original post was per month but the comment I replied to was per year. I assumed it was per month too.

          So it would be 3k/year.

          Yeah, that’s definitely not a lot.

            It is a shitload, tbh. I make half as much and my salary is considered pretty high in here. Most of my friends barely make a half of my salary. Ukraine.

            Upd. Again month-year confusion.

                Ah, again month / year confusion. I should have went slept instead writing that then :)

                Just checked: 20 000 rupies is a bit more than a minimal wage here. And the minimal wage in India is around 16k rupees. OK, in that case dude just wanted somethig around minimal wage. That’s not much.

      You’re technically correct, but it’s much less than $3000 USD. $232.54 USD to be exact. Or roughly two day’s worth of pay for the average American. I guess things are much cheaper in India.
