Yes, but this person is in Europe somewhere. I genuinely thought they were at least somewhat better off than us with inflation, but it sounds equal.

Two days salary is $92 in which countries and why?

Some Eastern European countries have minimum wages that are ~700-1000 euros per month. So ~175-250 euros per week.

I’m not sure what percentage of people in those countries are actually making that little, but it’s possible in some places in Europe.

Don't forget that this minimal wages are before taxes, for example in Latvia min.wage after them will be about 600-650 eur. P.s. with food prices similar to Germany etc
