what in the heck is your economy? even at the national minimum wage of 7.25 and after income tax you would for sure make that much and a little bit more in a single 8 hour work day. given how expensive housing is here that sounds downright useless...I'm already questioning if I would have enough to afford to live on my own and do the things I need to do even being above minimum wage. not by much but still

Different countries have different currencies, and some are worth more than others. Depending on the country, you can make a very little amount of US dollars and still have a very good quality of life, because the money is plenty enough for daily consumption. However, in some cases, like cars or gadgets, they can be even more expensive than in the United States, due to import taxes, transportation fees, license fees, etc - people usually feel the pain when it comes to purchase a gaming console or videogames.

One example: the PS3 40gb model I got in 2008 cost $399, which at the 1,58 conversion rate with the € at the time meant a direct price translation into Europe would be 252,53€. But my mother had to pay 399€, the equivalent to 630,4$, and 80,3% of her monthly salary.

It's called South America. Gaming here as expensive as F, even more so than in the US, as said above.
OTOH, food is way cheaper, so we get to enjoy... living, I guess.

If I buy on a authorized store a USA product I have to pay 1.8 times the real value some times 2.5 (taxes) so local produce is cheap but imported goods are expensive as hell. that´s why on the past we have so many clones of products you can´t count.
