It all just depends on what things cost in your area. If I could buy a home in Vancouver for $100k...I'd feel like a millionaire on $30k per year! Since a descent house here starts at a million dollars & an apartment in Vancouver starts at $400k & an average one more like $800k...$30k isn't going to pay the bills.
This is why computers are turning the world upside down. If I can buy parts from a guy in Kansas happily earning $30k...who would buy anything here from the guy needing $100k to keep his doors open? & so if I can buy from the guy in China making $1/hr...why support that greedy guy in Kansas? :)
Everybody wants to save a buck & in most cases that's the only way we can afford things but buying from other markets & not supporting the local economy obviously screws things up...& that's whats happening.
