    not a new story for me but new video

    has to find the equivalent of 5 dollars a day for **** hahahaha

    I know I know


    dude I am not sure of what the economic structure is like in Sumatra but I am going to guess that 5 dollars a day would be an enormous amount to spend on cigarettes

    Yeah that's just crazy. I'm thinking the amount he smokes and spends could've been exaggerated to hype up the story.

    On average a pack of cigs cost about the equivalent of $1, depending on the brand (lots of local brands). I don't know how many cigs are in a pack, 8-12? so he probably has to buy 5 packs.

    and $5 a day is A LOT for cigs. To put it into perspective, you can get rice with chicken and angel hair noodles (basically a meal) for about $1 in Jakarta (Capital City, where everything is more expensive). You can probably get the same for cheaper in Sumatra. So basically that baby costs the family 5 meals a day at the least. That's a lottt for the majority of families in Indonesia, considering their economic status.

    For more comparisons, on average a school teacher in Jakarta gets paid the equivalent of about $200 per month.
