Description

What does $100 actually buy you in the world's cheapest countries? The same hundred dollars covers a full week in one country — and disappears before dinner in another. I ran the same test in seven countries: one night in a decent hotel, three real meals, local transport for a day, and one experience worth remembering. Here's the honest math. Cost of living indexes tell you nothing you can use. You don't live inside an index — you live inside a day. So in this video I break down the real cost of one day in India, Armenia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Georgia, Thailand, and Vietnam, in local currency and in US dollars. Then I show you the three things that quietly break the math in every one of these countries — the tourist corridor, the season, and paying like a visitor. Get more than one of those wrong and your $100 behaves like $30. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 The $100 test 0:22 How I'm measuring this 1:10 #7 India 2:35 #6 Armenia 4:00 #5 Indonesia 5:25 #4 The Philippines 6:30 #3 Georgia 7:50 #2 Thailand 9:05 #1 Vietnam 11:45 The 3 things that break your budget 12:45 What $100 really tells you 📋 Free cost breakdown for all seven countries: [link] 🔔 New cost-of-living breakdown every week — subscribe: [link] Which country do you want me to run the $100 test on next?
