| I just recently read about the Big Mac Index (http://www.economist.com/daily/chartgallery/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15715184) and I have this simple question that I'm pretty sure many people are curious about:How many big macs can you buy in your country with your gross monthly salary? According to my calculations I can buy 1080 with the current big mac price in Norway...- LumbagoIf the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts. Albert Einstein |

| Reminds me of a rich-bastard mate of mine stopped in the street by a pretty young girl with a clip board doing a survey (you'll have already guessed the reason why he was prepared to stop ...)Anyways, last question on her list was "Do you earn more than £30,000?"After a short pause he replied "Some days I do, some days I don't" ... history doesn't relate whether this approach was successful, or not |

Yep, more.But there is a difference between Gross pay and Net pay (or at least Gross Pay and what the tax man thinks I earn ). |
