- Mediterraneo10 9y agoAn average middle class salary in my country would be around 1000€/month. That provides for a pretty good life in my country. In the USA, on the other hand, that annual income would be below the poverty level. The cost of fiber internet, electricity and gas is much cheaper in Eastern Europe than the horrible prices I have seen quoted for North America. For what it’s worth, I am now a digital nomad. I don’t stay in my country on that salary, I travel among countries that are even cheaper. Someone who intends on staying in their dying coal town in Appalachia does not have that option.
