From what I heard, people in Nicaragua for BPS and Call centers are making U$500 a month. Where the monthly budget for some one working in these fields is:
Rent for 1 bedroom apartment U$150
Groceries U$150
Public transportation U$50
Utilities (hidro, water, phone, cable and internet) U$50
Laundry $15
Used clothing: $25
Other (university, movie, dine out or personal purchase) U$60
TOTAL: U$500
It would be nicer to adjust it to at least for an extra U$100 (for U$600 a month) for some one supposedly to be a "middle class"; a poor person in Nicaragua does not make enough living to pay for English studies in order to work at these places, only middle class and up can.
