Because of my low wages I can not afford to provide many things to my family which I know they are some others basic needs. I always have to try to find the cheapest petrol station, I always have to look for the cheapest goods, only because if we save even a few dollars, it can help me to provide the other important things to the family , let alone traveling or buying nice cloths etc….for example we recently received a bit of pay rise this year but unfortunately my landlord increased my rent for an extra $300 per months.
To us the life is not about the quality anymore it is only about affordability.
Surely more money can make our life easier so I would say any increase is better than no increase in our situation.
