Lovers of fast food can look at the Big Mac index, an inforal way to compare the purchasing power of a country. Switzerland has the most expensive Big Mac in the world at $ 6.59, while Ukrainians can enjoy it for less than $ 1.57.

Croats earn, on average, $ 800 per month, which is quite low for a developed nation.

According to the United Nations Economic Commission, the Swiss are the best paid in the world with an average of $ 7396 gross salary. We know that eating at McDonalds in this country is relatively expensive, but what can a Swiss get for 1 dollar? Not much, according to the Swiss online stores.

Looking to the Far East: in Hong Kong a portion of bread costs 1 dollar, Hong Kong is very expensive and your average salary of $ 3500 is not speculative. Lack of space is one of the reasons for its high cost of living. In June this year a parking spot sold for a staggering $ 664,000. The good news is that you can go back and forth from the main island by taking a ferry that costs you just under 1 dollar.

Following in the magical east, let's take a look at Thailand, a country famous for its beautiful beaches ideal for thrifty backpackers. According to surveys the Thai salary averages $ 1205 per month, and while wages may be higher in Bangkok, the cost of living in Thailand for the most part is low because much of the population earns a small income, for this reason the famous Thai cuisine can be obtained at little cost with a plate of noodles or rice at a street stand for approximately 1 dollar, the drinking water is usually free. This is vital both for the low-paid workers and for the workers in the construction of the Burma border, who are paid less than $ 10 for a whole day's work under the sun.

Pakistanis earn about $ 125 per month, so they need to be cheap.

As for beer: according to the database of World Beer Prices, there are many countries where that nectar costs less than 1 dollar per bottle, but it depends a lot on where you buy if in bar or store. In terms of the universal price of beer, the cheapest place is the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava, barely more than a dollar. For less than 1 dollar you also get 1kg of potatoes or a liter of milk.

Following the bad habits, the cheapest place to buy a Marlboro Red in 2016 was Nigeria, at 76 cents.

According to a survey, residents of Turkmenistan were able to see the highest grossing of 2015, Guardians of the galaxy, for only 1 dollar. Keep in mind that the average salary of a Turkmen when the movie came out was about $ 200 at me.
