Euro’s 216.80

That is an incredibly small amount of money to live off over here in Europe.

The exchange rate method you suggested does not work like that in the real world. Sure, if Sunflower lived in USA and converted that euro’s 216.80 into dollars and lived off that…. in the USA…then sure….looks good on paper. But the reality is everything costs double over here.

I spend at least euro’s 216.80 per week on food alone for my family of 3 people. That does not include my lunch at the office where I spend minimum £50 per week.

I just asked my wife......we spend £200 (267 euro’s) per week on food alone for me and my family(incl my lunch).

Dollars to pounds = double it.

Filled up my car with petrol….£70….thats $140

Seriously 216.80 euro is very little.

You have my respect Sunflower.
