Getting there is a lot easier if you don’t live in expensive areas and 1000 dollars per month means you’re living in luxury.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoIs there anywhere on Earth that allows for luxury on $1k per month? The price of equipment to make the video is not going to be less.

- lotsofpulp 4y ago>Also, why sink down to 1k/month? Because the comment I replied to claimed “luxury” for $1k per month.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoEntirely depends on your tastes.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI would assume a meaningful definition of luxury involves at least abundant space, food, energy, and time. For example, working 100 hours per week is not luxurious, nor living in a Hong Kong pod, nor having to eat ramen because you cannot afford fruits and vegetables.

- lotsofpulp 4y agoWould you have access to broadband internet to upload HD video? Clean water? Sewage? Healthcare? Education? Supposedly, median household income in Peru is $17k, and that is skewed higher to urban residents, so let’s say two earners earning $24k total in rural Peru would be 2x median income of the surrounding families. Maybe it can be “luxurious”, but I would want more proof that you can get access to reliably energy, high quality network connectivity, and access to other goods/services one would normally associate with luxury.

- adventured 4y agoThe median household income in Peru is far lower than that figure. The typical monthly salary in Lima is going to be in the $300-$400 range (minimum wage is ~$270). You could get to that $17k number if you had four incomes in one household though.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI have no clue, I just quickly searched and found a snippet of this website: https://www.globaldata.com/data-insights/macroeconomic/median-household-income-in-peru/ https://www.globaldata.com/data-insights/macroeconomic/media... Seemed like a high enough number that would still validate my point.
- skinnymuch 4y agoIt’s lower if looking at overall gdp. Not PPP as your link does. Normal gdp per capita is under $7K/year.

- eru 4y agoThe author's equipment isn't all that expensive. Taiwan (where the author lives) has lower cost of living than the US, but 1000 USD per month isn't quite luxury even there.
