RE: The cost of living in Venezuela, by @tocho2
Hello @tocho2
It's a complex and nuanced issue that you raise, but it's worth the discussion.
In a country like Colombia, in an intermediate social stratum, one cannot live with less than 250 dollars, unless people eat very badly, don't have internet, don't pay rent for a house, and I'm talking about a couple, not a family with children because there everything could get complicated. But that's the minimum necessary here, that is, a little more than the minimum wage in this country.
Now, Venezuela is an extreme case, and without a doubt you have to earn in dollars, because the currency is not worth anything. How much must someone earn to live with dignity? I am not sure, it has been three years since I emigrated, I have some references, because my mother is still there, but I do not know. I could say that you deserve more than 150 dollars, less than that, difficult, as far as I can see.
Without a doubt that living in platforms like this allows any family in Venezuela to have a higher income.
Find a way to learn something that you can offer online and receive payments in cryptocurrencies or digital dollars. That would be my recommendation.
Hi @josevas217
We certainly deserve more than what we get right now, but as you say, many families are making great efforts such as eating only twice a day, or cutting other expenses that they can afford.
Your recommendation is excellent and I believe that many Venezuelans are joining this initiative every day.
