Could you please , calculate this amound ? For 1 person and 4 people family. How much money we need to spend for a qualified life.
I think Average Monthly Net Salary (After Tax) is not enough for all those costs. But I want to know , how much I need so I can except the job offers depends on this .
For example average salary is X amound but I need 2X money to live normal.
"Distribution of Expenses Using Our Statistical Model" here we can se the percentage distribution , but not the price.
Golf 1.5 style is about 1500000 not 962000.
