say a house costs $500,000 and a chocolate bar costs $1.
so you're telling me one house is equivalent to 500,000 chocolate bars? there's no way the value of raw materials is not in favour of the chocolate bar (and it's packaging)
brb shorting the housing market and hoarding chocolate bars

Yeah I used to be puzzled by the following 15-20 years ago.
I painstakingly save up some money: $400,000 in cash, and the sum is significant enough that most people say: "Wow, that is actually a decent amount."
But then I open up Robb Report magazine, and it lists a random house in a random place in America for $2,500,000.

Also if you follow this funny pajeet on social media: Ace Rogers CEO
He tips uber drivers $500 and so on
But probably many coal miners work their ass off for $5. So most of the world seems to be this way: one group squanders and another group treats it precious.

Also prices of "square meter" of real estate never made sense.
You mean to tell me, ordinarily $3000 is a lot. But if you suddenly fence off just 1 meter, that is now worth $3000.

what u low iq animals try to tell is that money equivalencies dont match up on the comparation chain and one should try to get the best bang for the buck
so the question is: what is the most value i can possibly buy for my 333 dollars a month?
c what is the most i can buy for my current wealth comparation chain
its like odds shopping at the bookie
