B jai, I enjoy living here too, although I dont't make 100K per year, I can't afford long distance travel every year too. And I cna't afford my own property either. But at least we have clean air, a ...

agree as well. i can't afford big trip every year either. after car payment and mortgage ...not much saving la.
my last big trip was 2007 nov, air tix was on points, i stay for free with my sister and my friend but i still felt so broke after the trip. next one may be 2010... i hope.

Fresh air ... I used to believe in that argument until I see what's going on in Hastings street in Downtown Vancouver.

If you don't have money, you live in a high-crime, dirty, crappy neighborhood. ...

on9,隨了你之外，冇人住係HASTINGS紅燈區比人插架。

你收聲，我兩層樓都係第一手OWNER，新起嘅。

5 ppl 4 cars is not that surprising....  we have like 10 cars with 6 ppl in hk... and its not even enough to use, this is 3 SUV, 1 Van, 1 station wagon, 1 sedan, 1 coupe and 3 sports car.

but with 6k a month after tax here, it would be pretty good....  but then, the cost of high standard living is much lower then hk....  you can easily get a decent apartment for 300k and a nicer car for 80-90k (M3, C63, X5, Q7 etc).   the same quality of housing and cars would run at least double in hk.  let say u spend 3.5k on mortgage and car and expense, you still have 2.5k to spend or save a month...
in hk....  with the same amount a month...  you'd consider yourself lucky to own a small apartment and have drive a honda civic.  and see in tea restaurant everyday.

That's why I called these people LIARS here.

Boy, don't you know what is a survey?  Google it if you need.    What's so surprise when the result here doesn't fall with the norm statistics data.  Especially you know by now that all LYK are really special and not any common Canadian.  Haha..

We aren't people that quote a "so call" research and die-hard believe on everything it says (statistic is probably the easiest to manipulate by people anyway).  We understand it is a small scale survey local in this forum and it isn't for any scientific research.  Why people have to lie here, and who deserves to be called as a liar.  People may accept your apologies if you're willing to do that.

Didn't you already know what is "與整體機會並無關係"?  Once I heard, it was a famous statement made by a famous person.  Maybe you could google that too.

    ha... so funny... let's see what's happening outside the world of LYKs... according to statistics Canada, the average household income for 2006 is "$67,600".. this is the # of 2 or more ppl in a family (household),
    for individual the income is $28,500
    (those $$ is after tax)

    so u think making more than $10k / month is easy??? rethink about it.... a frd or 2 who make this salary doesn't mean anything... u may know more than 100+ ppl...

That's why I called these people LIARS here."""

ar.....i think we need to clarify an important issue, are we talking before tax or after tax salary?

I thought we are talking the before tax salary wow.
when did we switch to after tax salary ar.  they are 20% - 45% difference la.  

actually the result fr lyk is similar to the statistics Canada.  ave income from lyk is approx. $50000 before tax, which is approx. $35000 after tax.  
$35000 in 2009 compare $28500 in 2006, acceptable wow.

so before you called someone liar, pls read the statement carefully and think twice.
