Former national football player Ahmet Dursun shared his account on social media by converting the vegetable prices in Germany to Turkish Lira.
“Isn’t life so cheap in Germany?” The comparison made by Dursun, who reacted to the prices in Germany by saying his statements, was criticized on social media.
Former football player, “Cucumber 2.99 Euro 50 TL, tomato 4.49 Euro 72 TL, cherry tomato 7.99 Euro 127 TL. How cheap is life in Germany?” used the phrases.
However, Dursun skipped some important data in this account. The minimum wage in Germany is calculated by the hour. Currently, the hourly minimum wage applied in the country is 9.82 euros. Working 40 hours a week. Considering that an average of 160 hours is worked in a month:
160 seconds x 9.82 euros = 1571,2 euros
As of July 21, at 12:50, the euro is at 16.02 Turkish lira.
Therefore;
1571,2 x 16,02 = 25169,24
The average minimum wage in Germany is 25 thousand 181 Turkish liras.
There is no one who does not know, but let’s remind: the minimum wage in Turkey is 4253 liras, 40 cents, and even a wafer cannot be bought for 40 cents… Let’s not even get into the inflation rates…
