I would concur with 'bashmentgal's answer, except for the 2 pair's of shoes, and the sheet set.

1 night at a guesthouse, food for the entire day, a few Guinness and a spliff. I can survive on holiday in Jamaica for $5000J a day easy.

The dollar is $70Ja to $1US not in the sixties any more, that's about $71US. That could buy you :-

1. about 24 beers if you go somewhere not too thief.
2. about 13- 3 piece chicken with medium fries and soda at KFC (ours is really good by the way).
3. about 4 trips to my nail technician to fill my acrylic, polish with design and a pedicure.
4. my electricity bill for 2 months-live alone and
5. gas in my car for a month-don't travel as far as bashmentgal

5000 can do so little. You could get maybe 2 weeks grocery with that.

Some people survive on less than that a day but If I had it to go shopping I could buy a week's groceries or a pair of shoes.

Now lets do some math calculations here,divide 5000 by the rate at the exchange of 67.50000...... you ill work out to 74.5 US dollars which basically can get some graoceries/books/ any bills that needed to be paid for.
Or some something esle like a good romantic dinner with my girl friend,thats how i would spend it.
