stare I envy you so much. My father only makes on average $12,000-$13,000 a year. It is not much of an advantage for the lower middle class than it is for the higher middle class and the higher class. Yes, you may get a better income, but the prices of necessities are way to high. If an average family consisting of a father, mother, daughter/son, son/son, daughter/daughter, and they get an income of $3,000 per pay day. There is no way they can live off of that. Do not forget about all the taxes. In the end they would get a bout $1,000. Even if they watched what they spent their coinage on, they would still not have enough money until the next paycheck. I should know, because this is pretty much my family. Tight budgets, crappy house, crappy cars, crappy life! The only thing that is a great advantage with my dad's work and pay is that he has a dental and medical plan.
Oh, and by the way, Canada has the best medical ever! Hehehe, you don't have to pay a dime! Well, if you are on Blue Cross or Red Cross you would, but ya. XD
