So exactly how far does that dollar stretch you? It’s something we all wonder. I’m a New Yorker so I know that I’ve personally said to myself, “I cannot believe I bought this home when I can get the same thing if not nicer in Texas for literally the same price.” It’s annoying to think about so I try to not bother.
Nevertheless curiosity always gets the best of us and we’re always interested in finding out how far our dollars can take us in other cities. With that in mind, ever wonder how far your dollar would go in other countries?
Wonder no more. Here we take a look at 15 cities around the globe to find out exactly what $1500 U.S. dollars will get you. Not to spoil anything but I think I’m moving to Nepal!
