Questions and answers:

Samantha asks: I'd like to gift a friend of mine $20-50 USD for his birthday. Do you think it's a decent amount?
Expert's answer:
As of October 2024, the average monthly salary in Ukraine is in the range of about 400-500 USD per month. So I think that the sum of about 50 USD would be just right as a nice birthday gift. And of course this only applies to a person you know and have met in person, and not just communicated with online, since in this case the chance that you are talking to a scammer is very high.
