Wow Interesting and shocking. I'm wondering how the heck one survives on 762 Can ( 500 euro) per month? 
This Christmas... at the grocery store I spent $771 for groceries for one week! I already had a turkey and a ham. This is a record for me that I'm NOT happy about and I figure it will only get worse with the socialist government the people here just elected.
In Sweden the cost of living I'd imagine must be relative to your wages? I'm stumped on how you can afford to build your car?
Brad as Soundcontrol said, I live in Greece. The wages are all here like that, but everyday goods (groceries meat etc) are lower on the prices as we have a small population and there is a local production of basic goods, although getting smaller and smaller. The problem is buying stuff like cars, cell phones, TVs etc (or Muscle Cars parts
) which are produced outside the country and commanding bigger percentage of the income. My Challenger was bought for about 15k and been saving money for 3 years. Almost a year and a quarter wages went there. Not complaining though. It was a dream of owning a E-Body Mopar. Anyway the people are used to these wages, only non employment and even lower wages are the problem now...
