The determination of the minimum wage in Turkey for 2025 at 22,104 TL has reignited debates over purchasing power. While many citizens express that it has become difficult to cover rent and basic needs, a woman's comment in a street interview in Manisa has drawn attention on social media.
MINIMUM WAGE EARNER SAID SHE IS GETTING BY
The woman expressed her views on the economic situation with the words, "How is there no purchasing power? My child is growing up on avocado cashews. My husband earns 25,000 TL, our rent is 9,000 TL. I can buy everything, it is enough for us."
These statements caused various reactions on social media. While one segment evaluated the woman's statements as "detached from reality," some users interpreted these expressions with a humorous tone.
