Sure, if your child goes to school and that's around 140,000HKD a year so around 12000HKD pm, that still leaves you with 27000HKD extra per month. With "a child" in mind one has to take in the wife's salary surely?
I'm still not seeing how young people are going off the rails because they can't make ends meet? Are they spending way above their means and now blame the system, or maybe their wife stays home and spends a fortune to fit in?
The above scenarios in the thread still take into account zero housing allowance.
