Don't get me wrong - I am comfortable. I never have to worry about keeping a roof over my head, or being able to get that protein I need. (And I have been in the situation where I did have to choose between three squares and a roof.)
But the cost of living here is much higher than in Afghanistan. There you can live very well on $5 a day. Here - forget about it.
