You can live in bangladesh spending :
(I gotta calculate myself so i'll do it here anyway)
Living rent: 1200 taka (single room uptown rajshahi) (everything is in month)
Electricity : lets say around 200 taka with a celing fan, lighting and chraging stuff.
Food: 30(paratha+lentils breakfast)+70(chicken biriyani lunch)+80(rice with curry)+20(snacks)=200 per day. So 200×30=6000 taka.
And at last you save 1000 taka.
So 8400 taka. Lets round it up to 8500 taka.
8500 taka = 69.420 usd (really)
I did this beacause websites were showing some insane level bs.
So bangladesh is a really cheap country. Even here in my city i know coachings take around 1.6 usd per hour. So it still is a steal even here.
According to Google coaches in Bangladesh charge around USD100-150 per hour.
Apparently Gemini’s not always correct. ;)

150 is just out of the window. I can imagine gm fees being 4 usd hour. My coach is like the teir before titled players.
Generally
GM = $100/h
IM = $50/h
FM = $20/h
CM = $10/h

Well i didnt knew about gm fees. But even that is probably cheaper here. And 4usd here is worth like 20 usd in america.

I think there are some questions there that you need to think about.
If you want to progress, you must work hard on yourself. No coach can do this for you. A coach can only help you organize this work rationally.
Thanks for all the feedback, much appreciated.
