The creator, known as virgsanz94, shared her personal experiences, claiming that while Australian salaries are approximately three times higher than in Spain, the cost of many goods and services remains surprisingly similar.In her video, she provided several examples: a pair of roller skates purchased for 55 Australian dollars (approximately 30 Euros), which she noted would cost around 40 Euros in Spain. She also detailed buying six silver earrings for 85 Australian dollars (about 50 Euros) and securing a two-week trial at a Hyrox gym for 60 Australian dollars (30 Euros).The video highlights the significant purchasing power in Australia, with the creator stating she could afford the roller skates with just 1.5 hours of work, earning 37 Australian dollars per hour (around 20 Euros).
