Prices in your country.

It does indeed. But that inflation is shared by all. The benefits of minimum wage only accrue to those right at the bottom. So it is still of some use and not sham. I find policies that are designed to redistribute wealth in society get torn apart and recieve the microscope. But policies that benefit the rich and have holes as big as what sank the Titanic get conveniently overlooked.
Minimum wage here isnt even going to provide you food on the table for a week. Let alone paying for all your bills, rent, insurance, taxes etc

PDF has a wide array of members from across the world. Would be interesting to see what prices you pay for day to day things. Food, clothing, transport etc Items that can be compared across the globe and make good referance points like pint of milk, coke bottle, cost of pizza, McDonald burger etc would be nice. Also please add the exchange rate with sterling pound so we all have common measure.

@vostok @KediKesenFare @xenon54 @Beast @Hamartia Antidote etc etc. The more countries we get the better the measure becomes. Thanks all.

Let me put it this way: if you want to live a decent life in Turkey, you just need 1000 Pounds a month. It's like having an income of 6500 Pounds in Northern England.

If you really want to make money, there isn't going to be shortcuts. However, assuming you will stay in Canada for 10+ years, then I suggest making investments and buying gold ($100 every month), in time your assets will go up and by the time its 10 years, you should have about $30,000-40,000 by the time 10 years reach (and these are just small investments). Aside from this however, you can try doing trades. There are some trades that the government sponsors, go do it once or twice a week in your free time, once you get your license you can then start making real money.

I've been intrested in that but I cant find anyone knowledgeable enough to teach me. I dont feel like throwing money into stocks if I dont know how they work. Gold seems like a good idea but it's the most fluctuating thing to invest in, goes up and down.

You can do apprenticeships in Toronto, I can personal message you some numbers from brothers I met at my local Masjid or some Afghans I've known from childhood if you happen to live here, but only problem with that is they will pay you minimum wage... you will in time make money as the years progress but it will take 5 years to complete your apprenticeship, and the work can be really hard at times.

No lol, apprenticeship is deciding to be in a trade without the education. With education you will finish faster minus the experience, but will have to pay for school. With apprenticeship it will take 5 years to finish, but you get paid as you work.

That’s why I said I could message some brothers who could take you as a mechanic or an electrician, but they all reside in Toronto, however you yourself can find people and ask them if they can take you as an apprentice.

Sorry about not quoting unquoting properly as typing from mobile
1) wheat not sure as we just buy it from Tesco and never checked the price

2) Rice not sure either

3) bottled drinking water is 6x 1.5litre for £2.99 or sometimes £3.49 but there are other cheaper and expensive brands also. My wife prefers Highlands or Volcano

4) varies between 13p to 18p but average price is around 16p by most popular energy providers

5) Petrol is £.1.19 at Tesco and about £1.25 at Shell fuel stations

6) Diesel is £1.22 (roughly 3p more expensive than petrol)

7)depends. Tesco everyday value 5 pint is for £1.48 whereas arla's 2 litre is for £1.89

8) £3.49 for crate of eggs but i dont remember how many are there in the box. My wild guess is 16

9) Shirt for around £19.99 or £29.99 at branded stores

12, 13 and 14) Oyster card takes you anywhere in London for £1.50 for unlimited journeys within an hour. Underground pass is around £9 and u can use most public transports in London. Outside London the price varies a lot. For example London to birmingham at advance notice is £10 and short notice can go above £100

15) can of coke for 50p i think but u can buy in bulk for 2x cheaper. Not a fan of coke so not sure exact prices

price are all from the lower end...specially in food you can pay for the same product but of higher standart much more...but in general even the cheapest food in europe is miles better than that in the USA, stricter rules, less chemical or genmanipulation allowed, much less use of sugar
