So, we have lots of threads on the cost of living in Thailand, how much do you spend / need etc etc.

How's about reversing it.

Lets say you are in Thailand and you have a million dollars riding on your hip, it puts you at a certain financial level.

Now, to acheive that same level in the UK, how many pounds sterling would you require - whats the equivalent GBP ne worth of being a USD millionare in Thailand.

Same question for the American readership .

Another one:

I've seen posted here some stats that correlate the country's GDP per capita and cost of living kind of thing. It was used to illustrate the relative cost of living in various countries.

Maybe I can find it, it was a while back. There was some discussion of Argentina and so forth, very interesting.

Anybody else remember that?

In the US, being a "millionaire" means very little now, with everything, especially housing, being so expensive.
