My home currency is worth ~20x less than USD. I fall totally into this category. But I feel enough dumb pressure that I'll cave. As a result I simply avoid these types of interactions. USA is the weirdest place to be poor! One somehow feels shabby and less-than, even while walking past endless homeless.

What does it mean for a currency to be worth less than another currency? That makes no sense.
I read it as wages, which makes total sense. A well-off person in one country could earn less than a poor person in another.
I think they mean that 1 USD = 20 theircurrency, which is meaningless.
