Gday Tail Rota,
25 or 35 days....who gives a damn. Its all a facade just like this place. Remember the donkey & carrot scenerio? You are correct in that all is spent in school fees etc and rising costs of living makes the EK salary has been a dinosaur for years as it cannot keep up with inflation and other rising costs. I guess it will take about 30% min to keep guys here long enough to be momentarily happy but any many are already looking elsewhere regardless.
