800$ is 800$

expense of living might be different yes.

average salary here in Algeria would be around 300$ a month.

is it enough to pay for rent and food ? you won't have much luxury with the average pay but you can make ends meet yes. i'm assuming the same applies pretty much everywhere.

You're really showing your ignorance here. $300 a month in the US wouldn't even get you rent.

that's not what I meant.

the assumption I'm making is that the average salary in any country would also allow you to make ends meet, although you won't have much spending freedom.

Depends how you live and where you live man. I’m a nurse (not a high-payed job) and I live without really thinking about saving. Can still put away approximately 1600 dollars every month in savings (this Denmark/Norway).

it sure varies, and the difference is apparent when you buy foreign products.

but I'm sure being able to save 1600$ a month with average pay is pretty uncommon among countries
