I recently talked with my brother about currency and how not all currencies are equal.

I Googled how much people in China make per month in euros, and it seemed to be around €160–€250.

If a person earns €160 per month, that’s basically the price of about 10 kebabs in my country.

That’s also why many Chinese and Indian people come to our country—here the minimum wage is around €800, which is roughly 44 kebabs.

When choosing work, you shouldn’t just look at the numbers, but at what you can actually buy. I personally measure it in kebabs.

So Lithuanians are earning roughly three times more value than some workers in China, although of course prices there are different too. Unfortunately, I can’t ship kebabs here. 😀

If I moved to China now, I would be relatively rich since I receive a €560 disability payment.

So you could say working isn’t really a choice for me. Still, I keep producing blog posts just to stay productive and not feel like I’m doing nothing. I receive money passively, but I also work without pay—so in a way, I “earn” my disability income indirectly.
