It's an appropriate question in a forum full of curious people, with no demonstrated animosity. In the US it's really easy to spend $1500 a month even on medicine alone, not to mention food, electricity, etc. In other countries, $1500 is minimum wage, and in others it's maximum wage for most people. Making $1500 a month in Belarus, for example, puts you in the top 1% of everybody.
