It's cheaper to ride the bus

I'll try to be as brief as possible. I'm from Argentina, we have 50%+ inflation, poverty rising etc etc. Moreover our useless politicians have a huge budget deficit (that causes the inflation) and they prohibited buying more than 200 dollars for savings each month. This has caused a black market of dollars (and stablecoins) to appear, they are much more expensive (70-90%) than the official exchange rate, BUT you can get an unlimited amount.I earn about 250-300 dollars a month (hard to calculate with inflation, differences of 3-4% each month in exchange rate etc) which is not that bad for a 22 y.o. BUT I want to save to have a better future. This means spending the least amount I can on stuff I don't really need, because if not I can't save.Then I found this sub and I heard about moons. I started doing educational posts and answering questions and I got moons through upvotes. This is when I had the following idea: I always ride the bike to work (15 kilometres) so as to save the train/bus ticket. In my country everything is really subsidized because if not nobody would afford it so basically the train ticket costs about 20 pesos (1/6 of a dollar) or about 17 dollar cents.I made the calculation that with an average price of 10 cents per moon (being pessimistic) and a ratio of 0.2 moons per upvote I would need 8 upvotes in the whole bus ride to make it worth it to take the bus. If I do better than that I'm actually making money taking the bus, which I find pretty ironic/funny.Anyways, thanks for reading until here. Hope you have a great day and if you want me to cover a specific topic for research on another post let me know in the comments. Peace out. ✌️
