....yea, no
I am confused about info above. Is the "Average Monthly Disposable Salary" before or after paying rent, utilities, etc.?
Pam, this question really made my day :)
I'd like to say Chile has a very big salary inequality, top 1 among OECD countries:
(http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/12/19/global-inequality-how-the-u-s-compares/)
In IT area you can find (for the same position, i.e SW Developer) annual salaries between USD 14.000 and 34.000 (> 5 years experience).

A one way ticket in bus is 600 clp and in metro is 620, allowing the combination of both in a same trip for the same price.
1.- the apartment pricess are too low. If you compare to European standards ( looking for similar neighbours and quality buildings) the rent will be higher ( and growing). Top neighbours 120 m2 apartment may well rich 3.000€
2.- as others pointed out, you need to add Education costs ( top private schools are more than 750€ / month)and Health ( similar amount for a standard family)
3.- Restaurants are becoming more expensive, now it's hard to find an acceptable meal for 5€, more like 7 - 8€ for the basic, and 40€ for a mid-range for 2
Hope this helps.
