"Now we will talk about, The Currency."
A well built man with a trim militery cut is standing at the podium. He is Responsible for economics and currency.
He has the aura of a general, but he was just a teacher apparently.
"There are 4 forms of currency in our society's. Gold, Silver, Bronze and Gyros."
"A Gold is worth a 1000 Gyros. A bronze is worth a 10 Gyros and a Silver is worth a 100 Gyros."
Funny story about Gyros. I didn't know what to use as a 1 dollar bill so i just gave it a random bill.
So, this is how this country's currency work.
A Gyro is worth 1 Dollar.
A Bronze is worth 10, a silver worth 100 and Gold is worth 1000 Dollars.
But while this is the value of the Currency, The EXPENDITURE Is very different.
Because the average cost of living in this world is around a 20 Gyros a week, for a below average house.
While an average house will cost you around 50-80 Gyros a Week.
And a 100 Gyros for 2&3 BHK flats.
For a week.
That means it costs around 500 Dollars a month for living costs and on top of that expenses as a whole with bills involved would cost about a Gold coin.
If i were to buy an average mobile it'd cost me around 100 Gyros or 10 Bronze Coins.
Buying an above average one would cost me 250 and a high end one would cost me 400.
These countires have All the companies that mine had. Obviously since i used those names.
So for instance buying a samsang phone at basic prize will cost me around 50-100 Gyros
while an EPhone will cost me 400, and with added accessories 500.
Which is higher than the monthly rent of a house.
Meaning cost of living is very cheap in this world because of the mass production and low Population.
This Continent or humans as a whole have a total population of 2.5 Billion spread across a country that is 1.5 times bigger than asia.
It's expected that the house costs will be low.

"I'm sure most of you are confused about your salaries.
Let me Break it down for you.
You'll get about 5 Gold m, 5 Silver and 5 bronze coins which is the basic pay for training.
After the end of the training term, You'll receive a MSP and DA which will amount to a gold and 5 silver and 6 bronze Empyros.
And a DA of 35% of your salary. With additional Allowances."
"I'll break down the salary for you for simpler clarification and better understanding of your salary."
"You have 5 gold coins meaning you have a total of 5000 Gyros, with 6 silver which is about 600 Gyros and 5 bronze which is about 50 Gyros. Your total salary is 5,650 Gyros. If you want to change to the bank notes it'd be about 10 Empyros in cash for each Gyro."
I did change the setting afterwords.
That this world has both notes and Coins.
It's for whoever feels comfortable with either of the currencies.
It's a new concept bought recently, or that's the setting i wrote.
It grew popular slowly and soon it completely Overtook The Coin system.
Especially because of the cheaper means of currency Making.
It became a medium of exchange officially.
but well that's a story of the future.

"Hey, How's dad & Mom doing?"
"They are fine, big bro how are you? How is your training going? When are you coming back?"
"Ooh ooh, wait a minute. Slow down with the questions there lil sis. Let's see, I'm completely fine. The training... Well, it's going good i guess and about coming back, I'll get a break 5 months from now. I'll probably come back than."
"Mm.. I see, Bring me a gift when you come back."
"Sure... Now give the phone to mom or dad."
we had no means of communication until recently so it's nice the Empire sponsered a Telephone into the house since they had no means of buying one.
Well, it'll be taken from my salary but it's still fine.
It's not like i wasn't ready to give 50% of my salary to my parents.
I should also try and change my currency to The notes because in a few months since the people who invest on notes will get additional 10% Money on how much they deposit in the bank.
I intend to keep a good relation with the bank because they'll be the next big thing in the future.
There's a person who's a very famous heroine that i'd love to see if possible.
in the next 2 months, she's going to set up something that'll change the world completely.
...
"Now let's talk about the benefits an armed officer get's from the empire."
The first thing i did after knowing i was an army officer was to see how many benefits an army officer got.
And man was i surprised.
"You Will be given priority as trainees for Installment pays or any loans you want to sanction from the bank. Also, this is a news of the future so I'll brief you about this very soon."
"You probably don't know about loans and Installment Pays. It's a set of schemes set for army officers as a privlage and underprivlaged and Middle class families. It'll open up very soon in the month of God which is the starting of next month."
"Also, You'll get an additional 30% Offers on anything you want to buy and it's in the confinement of the empire. You will get it for cheap."
Wait, than that means i can get any item for cheaper than it's prize? Now that's a score.
Also, damn there's Installment pays and Loans in this world? I did not write that.
While i did write about Notes and net banking i never wrote about anything else which is a gain actually.
Now i can buy things i want for cheap and Don't have to worry about buying in bulk since there's an option of Installment Pay.
