Is it possible to assign a dollar amount to the wealth index factor score? [message #129]

Many people have trouble understanding when we say, "the bottom wealth quintile" but can easily understand, "less than 2$ a day".

Is it possible to assign a dollar amount to the wealth index factor score? Or at least, is it possible to assign a range of possible incomes, daily expenditures, or net worth based on the wealth index factor score? Does anyone have any experience trying to map the quintiles to $ amounts, perhaps using other country data?

I'd be grateful for any tips!
