Anybody knows the answer to MissLondons

[MissLondon]

Yes you are right, if you have children, plus mortgage, car etc earning that wage, it will be more of a struggle.
I wonder, what is a good wage for a comfortable middle class lifestyle in Jamaica?

[1of1]

you would be surprised

[1of1]

jamaica expensive yuh nuh, when yuh tink yuh got money then there is none,

[Gamma]

are you thinking out loud?

[Islandman]

Forget mortgage, that is not likely on the average teachers salary.

I wil leave Mosiah and Maudib to give an answer on the "comfortable middle class lifestyle" figure, although for them it would be more like "cushy upper middle class" lifestyle. You know, lattes, SUVs, taking a month off to go to the World Cup in SA, and that kind of thing!

[Muadib]

Don't forget the shopping trips to Merica

[Mosiah]

I think if you have a combined salary of 4 million per year after tax you should do okay. That's not middle class, but you should do okay.
