Photos of items from families in different countries with different incomes

Note that some of the entries here are clearly outdated. I've cycled through some "global south" countries that I'm familiar with and what's shown may have been true maybe 15-20 years ago. GDP has 4x since then and at the same salary level the lifestyle is either equivalent or better than the richer countries.

To give context on my other comments, where I live in Scotland, median full time wage is around $55k.

You can live a perfectly comfortable life on that; you don't have to worry about bills or medical expenses, and you can afford to get a mortgage and buy a house (probably costing around $300k or so)

That's why I'm surprised about people from a richer nation saying they can't afford things.

I've generally loved this site. Wondering what other distributions could be made so visual, where people near the top complain about the people just above them.

Click the Families dropdown. There are many other things, including beds, pets, toys and teeth.

Whoa, nice reminder of how filthy rich I and almost everyone I know are.

Modern lifestyle seems to start at $700-$800 per month per adult pretty much everywhere and doesn't get much better even at few k.

It's interesting that $14000/month is "rich" on this website, and some people earning $100/month actually own houses.

Meanwhile people making $50000/month in San Francisco can't afford a house because half of it is taxed away and housing is astronomically expensive.
