Exactly.

3.25$ X 2 for the metro fare. Approx 5$ for a cup of coffee 25-30$ for lunch. A few bucks more on maybe a drink or a snack.

This adds up.

25-30 for lunch, wtf?? In western eu it’s 5, maybe 7 if you get a drink.
Just a fast food hamburger and fries is $9-something where I live. The yellow curry at my favorite Thai restaurant is $12-something, plus a tip. Add a soda to either one and it's another $2-3.

That’s similar here. I could scrimp and get by for a little less but it is easy to spend $10-15 on lunch these days.

But at least it’s less healthy. /s
