The TripAdvisor/Skeets37
The world is a wonderfully diverse place, full of cities that have something amazing to offer everyone. Even though everyone enjoys exploring new places and having new experiences, one essential component cannot be avoided: money. Money talks everywhere, but the exact amount it says varies widely.
To the typical American who shops on Amazon, $1 might not seem like much, but how much could you actually buy in Australia, Vietnam, or Indonesia? On a tight budget, could you live like a king or would something unpleasant surprise you?
1. Dinner for Four
Where: Sri Lanka’s Colombo
Estimated Monthly Income: $485 Estimated Monthly Cost of Living: $1450 (per month/four-person household)
For many families, dining out is an indulgence because even one meal may set you back more than $10. In actuality, a restaurant supper in the US costs $17 per person on average. For feeding a family, that comes to somewhat less than $70. Even going out to dinner once a week can significantly reduce monthly spending.

On the other hand, you can feed a family of four in Colombo, Sri Lanka, for just $1. That’s a significant savings. Even though you and your loved ones would need to pay to travel there initially, you could still end up saving a significant amount of money while you’re there. It even costs less than McDonald’s.
