For American, is >$20 expensive?
I don't know what the standard value of expensive things is. My friend from USA told that his GPS was worth $90 and not expensive. So how do I know if the price of something is expensive? Is >$10 cheap or expensive?
I'm sorry my English is crap, it looks bad. I hope you'll answer me.
thx in advance

thx in advance- It depends on what you're talking about. $90 is not very expensive for a GPS because there are many available that cost more than that. On the other hand, $90 would be very expensive for a sandwich because most sandwiches cost less than that. Whether something is "expensive" or not is totally relative, and not dependent on the actual dollar amount.
- It depends on what you want to buy. $20 is expensive for a paperback book. $500 is cheap for a desktop computer.
- It depends on how much money you have if you have $150 or more $20 is pretty cheap
- Minimum wage in the U S ranges from $6 - $9 dollars, with $10/hr easily attained with some time on the job (with a 20% deduction for taxes.) so a $20 item requires about 2.5 hours labor. A common livable wage is about $20/hr meaning the item needs 1.25 hour labor to purchase. Then there are many people with time and experience in the work force that make 40 - 60 an hour, and for them $20 would indeed be cheap. {Young people making 10/hour but living at home with no housing expense, etc often have more spendable money that an adult making 20 - 30 / hour.}
- It depends on what you are buying and how long it lasts.
- A GPS is the US for $90 is not expensive. It depends on what the $20 is for. Dinner out? $20 is cheap!! Movie tickets, $20 is average. A pack of gum, $20 is expensive. In the US, $20 will get you about a 1/3 of a tank of gas. Hope that helps.
