Regarding your question:
// Do you think 4,000,000 CLP per month can be good to have a good quality of life for a family of 4?
Answer: Mostly yes, but I think you won't be able to save much month over month
Please fix and clarify
Do you think 4,000,000 CLP per month can be good to have a good quality of life for a family of 4?
Hope you are keeping well.
I am from Press, Channel13, a large private national network. We are trying to built a comparison of the cost of living in Chile. Do you have an expert voice that speaks Spanish? Please let me know. We do an equivalent show like Good Morning America, and would address this issue tomorrow morning.
Thanks,
