On the whole, most countries in Scandinavia are more expensive than the UK, France and the US. Even for big cities... according to Numbeo, there are five Scandinavian cities that are more expensive than New York, which is the most expensive out of the whole 'London, Paris, New York, Monaco etc' selection.

Its really property prices that kill it in London......if you avoid posh restaurants bars etc.
My current pad in Cambodia. Free wi-fi, free water, free cable TV, electricity is less than $100 a month, even with the air-con on 75% of the time, small garden out the back... $375 a month. You wouldn't get that in London!
I may have confused the matter with the cost of cigarettes in Australia being $900 a month, and then explaining what you can get in South East Asia for that same $900. I don't earn $900 a month... I earn around $2800 to $3850 a month selling stock, plus my freelance earnings on top. So yes, $9000 a year (when living in a country, time period, or on a planet that has and/or had a ten month year), would be a bit of a stretch... but having a minimum of $33,000 (and a realistic amount of $40K+) a year, gives me a lot more flexibility.

IYes and i am superman.Why is it so hard to believe? You can even calculate yourself what every author at Envato makes.I did a quick calculation (with the Wayback Machine) and since August 2016 SpaceStockFootage made an average of $2,491 per month from both his profiles just from Envato (I skipped the third, smallest one). Then you can add Shutterstock, Fotolia, Pond5, VB and the rest to that and $4,000 isn't strange at all.Many people make MUCH, MUCH more than that, up to around $30,000 per month.
Sure....

Actual video footage doesn't do very well there, but motion graphics do well. That's mainly what VideoHive is known for. I also have some After Effects files which do well. I've always made around $100 to $150 at SS, a bit less at iStock, around $200 to $300 at Pond 5, up to $450 at VideoBlocks, $50 to $100 at Artbeats Express, $50 or less at Fotolia, $25 if I'm lucky at MotionElements, $35 to $70 at CG Trader, $10 at Dreamstime... it all adds up, but not as much as VideoHive.
2.5 times minimum wage is not good enough for decent living in an expensive US state, but it is a nice enjoyable bonus.
