The countryside in peru.
- 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.

- trenning 4y agoWhat are your thoughts on QoL living outside of major cities in Peru?
- missedthecue 4y agoHaving money in the Peruvian countryside is not going to make up for QoL because the infrastructure just isn't there. 40% of the households in rural areas don't even have electricity. No chance for clean drinkable water or insulated housing.
