[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please google and look online for Bangladesh stats. 
Op staying in a lowest class house and is portraying a most dismal state, which it is not.
It is a 3rd world country but a majority of Bengalis are very modern. The amenities and interiors of houses are very polished or high end. [/quote]

Most third world countries have an upper class that lives a Western lifestyle and sends kids abroad for their education. While the masses starve and live in much more difficult conditions.

She's describing what seems like a pretty middle-class life. They're not starving, they have access to WiFi and medical care, and they have needs, not necessarily wants. [/quote]

Op here yes and DH had a private tutor growing up which seems to be the norm for the middle class. He also went to a private school.DH's nephew who lives in the house I am staying in has his child in a private school I noticed a difference in the women when we went to the schoolyard yesterday. In a lot of ways, they are living a more luxurious lifestyle. When I asked my SIL if she wanted a washer she said no because she prefers a household helper to do the washing by hand. They rarely wash dishes because someone comes every morning to do that. I did have a private tutor growing up but only because I am dyslexic. DH's nephew has one four days a week. His brother maintains all of their properties and rents out space to rickshaw drivers. They also have income from gardening vegetables. If they need middle care they go right away. No one is worried about being able to afford medicine or medical procedures. Their house is also paid off and has been for several decades. Taking loans for houses isn't a thing. The house I showed a picture of was paid off in full. It was around 40-50k and dh helped out with some of it. What middle class family in the US pays off their house? [/quote]

That's so interesting op. I'm the pp you responded to.

I think also though there isn't the respect for property rights in Bangladesh, so you can own your house but the government could take it at any time???

Washing by hand is certainty better for the environment  [/quote]
People in these places prefer to wash by hand because it’s less expensive to pay someone to do it. Water quality is often poor so appliances that are very expensive in the first place don’t perform optimally and often break. Environmental concerns are not the main motivation.[/quote]
