    Nah man you’re just straight up wrong. Money value is relative. I’m a digital Nomad who lives in SEA. I literally moved here for higher quality of life for my income just like thousands of other people. I get the same dollars but the value is drastically different as so is my carbon output.

      Tell me how much it costs for you to go on a vacation to singapore.

      Are my dollars worth more when I go to where you are in SEA?

      the value is ALWAYS the same. The costs where you are are NOT always the same. a dollar is a dollar. A dollar in NYC doesn’t get you as far as a dollar in vietnam.

      A 5 million dollar property in NYC might be little more than a glorified closet, but when I sell it I get 5 million dollars. A 5 million dollar property in New Zealand might be a mansion, and when I sell it i’ll get my 5 million dollars back.

      5 million dollars buys you 5 million dollars worth of things. Everyone knows it “goes further” in poorer areas but if you want to buy a share of Microsoft, it’s going to be the same price no matter where you are in the world. If you want to buy a RTX 4090 it’s going to be the same price (or HIGHER from import fees). A plane ticket basically costs the same no matter where you are from. A vacation to another country costs the same no matter where you earned your dollars.

        I’m not sure what are you trying to accomplish by repeating yourself but in a more angry manner?

          whatever guy, just be another person who thinks people with more skin color or a different cultural background deserve to be paid less than you.
