In small cities in Nigeria, the average middle class earns an income of roughly $200
Cost of living:
1. House rent (yearly): $400

Living cost not too much. It is less than enough. In the city where I live in my country, rent is over $600 a year and in my country's capital it is over $2000. Which is much more than your country. So I think the cost of living in your country is quite comfortable

Quote

2. Food (daily/1person) : $10-$15

My meals here range from $3-$20 per person per day, depending on how high-end one wants to eat. But I think it is a bit more comfortable in my country than yours.

Right now, the cost of living in Nigeria is very high. The problem is that prices keep going up but salaries remain the same, this has resulted in a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The smart choice will be to move to a smaller and less expensive city.

Not only in Nigeria but also here we stay and eat is very high overall. Which is very difficult for a lower and middle class family to manage. And almost the same situation prevails in most of the countries of the world. This is not the only problem of our country

I can say from my general knowledge that average income of low class family in my country is around 7-8$ per day and average income of rich people is around $1k to $2k. However, the direction of food production sector in my country is good but the price of food products is constantly increasing which has become abnormal for common people to procure. Not issued by my government but I have researched it and found that in my country the rich people are getting richer and the poor people are getting poorer due to the combination of politics.

Isn't that the case with most of the countries in the world? Except for some of the most developed countries where there is no lack of money, jobs, and resources and the majority of the population is living a good life, besides those countries, the situation is almost the same all around, rich are getting richer because of their control over the businesses and industries and poor are getting poorer because of a lack of good employment opportunities and rising inflation.

When you earn a minimum wage that barely increases but the prices of goods and services keep going up around where you live, you will probably keep getting demoted financially, and there is nothing you can do about that because you are not getting a balance between the costs you have to bear and the salary you are getting.

The global situation has been unstable in recent times, so it has directly affected every country. Commodity prices have increased manifold but people's incomes have not increased. And because of this inequality, an unstable environment has been created in every country. The situation is the same in all rich or poor countries, but the impact is greater in poor countries, on the other hand, there is no impact in rich countries. Moreover, the price of the product is determined based on the geographical location. The same product has a price difference between a developed country and an underdeveloped country. Even in my own country the prices of all commodities have increased. Governments are taking various measures including raising their salaries in line with the increase in everyone's expenses, but the solution is time-consuming.

I want to know about the cost of living and average income in each country. Can I ask that here?

For comparison, may I ask how much a standard meal in your country costs for one meal? what is the standard food menu? What is the average monthly and annual income in your country? Please those who answer can use calculations in USD

Note: I don't need the tables issued by the government because they are usually different from the reality on the ground

Here in our country, when there is an increase in the price of goods, it doesn't go up all at once, and if there are other vegetables that increase in price, after a few weeks the price will go down again.

So now, even though it has gone down again, somehow there are still other things that are expensive, like potatoes, tomatoes, and others, but the price of chicken and pork and ease in the market is still the same. Somehow, even gasoline has also gone down a little, even though it is expensive. can still be considered.

I think that does not only happen in your country, I think the average large country is also the third state also experienced it even since the same, including in my country, although sometimes in the same country but there are areas that have much food consistency price.

And actually related to what the OP meant was really relative because indeed everyone could have a standard menu that would be a subjective assumption, and returned to their respective abilities in buying their food needs. From the average I noticed that the middle class community is not certain about what products/food they consume every day, so I think it will be ambiguous because it is not specific. IMO

True, but this choice also has its own obstacles, for example in the item the birth of a social class where there is an image of the local population whose income may be predominantly lower middle class and we also have to look at access to basic services, education, health care if one of our family members experiences health problems and needs immediate treatment.

Hearing about the cost of life and income in Nigeria is fascinating. A monthly salary of roughly $200 in small communities reflects the economic hardships that the middle class faces. The monthly rent of $400 and daily food prices ranging from $10 to $15 show the financial stress that many people face. This look at economic dynamics emphasizes the significance of knowing local variations beyond official data in order to comprehend the true impact on people's lives.

This case does not only happen in Nigeria but in other countries too, I quote the average cost of renting a normal house is almost 2x higher than the minimum monthly salary of every Asian state, the average economic data of society is getting worse due to inflation and many people have lost their jobs. I think the government should release lots of job vacancies for public services and support micro-enterprise capital to restore the economy, one of which is supporting culinary food mirko businesses for priority foods that can be obtained at low prices.

I live in the Philippines, so you can have a little guess as to how much food and stuff is here compared to the rest of the planet (Spoiler Alert: it's dirt cheap still compared to most countries in the west). You'd get a full course meal in the Philippines, for two people mind you, for as low as 20-30 bucks, and this is on a fancy-shmancy restaurant already. A regular meal here in the Philippines would cost you as high as 10 dollars per day, and that would've been real awesome if not for the fact that the people in here, particularly blue-collar workers, are either paid just enough to get by so they can't leave the deathloop that is their 9-5, or they literally are getting paid peanuts, and with no chance to even get out of this situation they are literally stuck in this circumstance for the rest of their lives. So yeah, it's not rainbows and sunshines.

The cost of living keep increasing everytime and the case might have been as a result of the current war between Russia and Ukraine and the pandemic that scattered the way we live life. That was the beginning of our problem as human which made many to lose their jobs, businesses and death of relatives. The government is trying her best to make sure that things get better but we just have to keep working and doing businesses that would profit us. We don't really know when this would finally end but it will be beneficial to us if we save and get more jobs that would sustain us.

How could a person manage to live a better life there?

I think people will definitely face problems economically and they people there may be without work? What is the situation for the illiteracy there? People who are on works does they have more knowledge or most of them work according to their skills?

As Nigeria is not a big country I assume so it should be a little stable economically but I don't know how they are managing it? As normally I have seen countries which are less in population are mostly economically stable.

That's true and usually the price table released by the government will be different from events in the field and food prices in an area will definitely vary quite a bit. In my area the price of one pack of rice is not more than $2 and that is luxurious enough for one meal, the standard of food may differ from one person to another and the custom for people who have an average income is the UMP. The price I mentioned above is considered a luxury standard for them to eat because in my area almost the average person who sells one pack of rice is not more than that, except there are some special places that sell wrapped rice above the price I mentioned above

But when we try to buy ingredients and manage the food ourselves at home, the price can increase or decrease depending on the price of basic necessities in the market. The income is probably still in the range of $200k for the average person in the area where I live and it also depends on how they can make money somewhere other than their regular workplace.

The standard cost of living for one person in my country is 1 day per person
for the lowest class, around 2-4$ a day. and that's not for eating at a restaurant, you could say eating at a street food stall,
It's different if eating for one family can reach 10$ a day for 4-6 people, it's more economical, isn't it?
just to eat nothing more

Both uncooked and cooked food prices are at the highest in Canada. In contrast to the last five years before Covid, 100 CAD is not enough for someone to live on in a month. Governments are doing everything they can to help the less fortunate with many food banks across the country.

In Indonesia.

Average income: $200

Cost of living:
1. House rent (including utility bills): $65
2. Transportation: $10-$30
3. Food: $60-$100

All calculations per month, cost of standard meal around $0.64-$1.28 which usually you will get rice, fried chicken, some vegetables and ice tea.

and some in area, there is lower salary than that,lets say people work for small business man, they will pay you about 50-70$ in a month and the worse is no free day in a week, that mean we should work 7day/week.

Is this in Indonesia as well? I'm quite surprised because here in PH some areas has the same scenario as this. They were called the Labors, those individuals who barely finished their secondary educations, they work for small business man with that same range of salary and a free 1 meal per day (launch meal).
I don't know how these people survived, but they actually do, and they seemed happy and contented with their financial status. So, therefore I conclude that no matter how low your salary is, a person could still find a way how to survive. The same goes with the people who has high salaries, they tend to survive with tons of lons and financial responsibilities.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹

In the country where I live, most people live in poverty. In my country the price of all things starting from food is relatively high. A day laborer finds it very difficult to raise money for his family, and most people beg only for want of food. It is not possible to manage a family easily with the salary given by the government, which makes it very difficult for a person to get food. In my country some daily items that are used in cooking and food are very expensive especially those that are used constantly eg.
Rice white --- 1kg --- $1.52 USD
Chicken --- 1kg --- $3.45 USD
Milk --- 1 liter ---- $2.15 USD
Egg --- 12--- $1.70 USD
All in all a lot of expenses which add up to a lot at the end of the month making it very difficult for a family to buy food at such a high price.

Actually, my country is not doing well, inflation is also happening. Prices of goods are increasing due to fuel increases. I say one dollar for food because I cook it myself and I'm still a bachelor so I think that's enough for a day. If I buy food outside of course one dollar is only enough for one meal a day.

Maybe what your country is doing is not right for you, but if you look at the situation in our country, you will thank your country.The price of everything has gone up in our country due to the increase in the value of the dollar because our country own production is very low and we are consuming most of the goods from other countries.

Our government often exports the things we need to other countries, due to which the things in our own country are in short supply, due to which the prices go up a lot.However, in countries where the administrative affairs are not correct and the people sitting in the government do not think about their people, there are more such problems.Our people also are very disgusted with our government.

Price hike is the main problem of our country. The price of goodies increased day by day but the earnings of people is not increasing. Those people who do government job official job they maintenance family will with their salaries. But those people who live hand to mouth. With the lower income they can't complete the daily needs and the increasing price of the food they can buy that much food then need for living. Because of increasing price of food its creates problem those type of people life who live under the provety lines and the lower income people.
