If you have a loan behind and if you get paid @ 6$ an hour (min wage), survival is tough - As raj has pointed out, Rent is way too high. Insurance is high for ppl<25 and for those who dont have a I pay 25% of my salary towards rent and all I have is a room :(. At the end of the day, a lot depends on your lifestyle. The day you convince yourself that $1 = Re.1, a new life begins. Thats how I've been able to survive, looking beyond the monthly food and other expenses! You have arrived at an hypothetical conclusion based on food ONLY. Americans eat rather HOG, so food will be cheaper. Lets consider a different Scenario. Say you have a 2 bed house. And only one bath. How much would it cost to construct anothe bathroom back home? - 20 K may be 30 K worst case? Trust me In US, my landlord was given a quote of USD 14,000 for it! HOLY CRAP! Manual Labor is way too expensive. Case 2 - Back home u can get a good house, one bed apt, for say 40 - 50L Lakhs in Ashok nagar (Prime area). Thats about 7 Yrs salary (6 L per annum is common these days) Out here, a single family home Equivalent to a 1 bed costs about 600 Grand thats atleast 10 - 12 yrs of ur total Income. THIS is the case even though most lands are un occupied in this country. Back home u hardly have space to walk! Add to it a 13 % tax in india and 30% tax out here! Every country prorates its prices based on Demand and supply. US - Too much junk so food is cheap. India.. Too little space to live so real estate is moderately High.

I too have read about lock picking in the <a href="http://www.lysator.liu.se/mit-guide/MITLockGuide.pdf" rel="nofollow">MIT Guide to Lock Picking</a>, but haven't tried it. Lucky you didn't get caught in the process. Great experience. I too have read about lock picking in the MIT Guide to Lock Picking, but haven’t tried it.
