by day, week, month, year in Latin American countries, or Caribbean countries, they merely translate what the face value is of the currency in $'s, which is completely misleading, because it totally leaves out what the purchasing power is of their currency, and in countries which are socialized, or partially socialized, housing, medical treatment, utilities, education, etc. can be free to natural citizens, and they aren't forced to pay for them.
That has always been a big dirty trick played by propagandists trying to degrade other systems in countries with leaders who don't put Washington above the interests of their own people.
Purchasing power, and expenses. Thank you. 
She can tell you about change in Cali.
Almost everything I've read about Colombia for a long time makes it sound like a dangerous place to live.
Sorry to hear she has been aware of some rough events in that city. I hear there are a lot of easy assassinations, for sure, by people on motorcycles.
I hope you are implying she got out on time to avoid personal tragedy. Yikes.
I started reading comments from a Colombian who moved to Miami around 1998, at the old CNN message board system, which was fascinating. He couldn't take it any longer, came from Barranquilla, I believe. I had no idea how violent the country was until I read his comments over some years in discussions with other people, many of them from Latin America. It was horrifying. Very rough people in the underworld there!
Hope she will find life much gentler here (as long as she doesn't get on the list of any Q-Anon people) .
