The average household in Hong Kong doesn't pay a significant amount of tax.

Of the top of my head I seem to remember that only 25-28% of people in HK earn enough to pay tax.

Scraping by on 2.3 million a year? No wonder you are getting so worried about a dehumidifier.

I am beginning to suspect these posts are a complete wind-up!

Is it possible that I can find apartment to rent around $HK5000 with 2 room and kitchen ?
If it's possible please let me know, which area is it.
Thank you

i was thinking the same thing...

living below your means... at a salary of 2.3M per year... works out to be 191,000/month!!!!!!!

that's more than many make in an entire year! i'm only slightly above that for the whole year myself!

YIKES! i think that i'm in the wrong profession!

Funny to see that all the threads started by CCH253 have been closed by KIA ;-)

Not funny - more unfortunately.... Had a bit of a rough day in Shanghai and after reading those two threads about the maid/gecko pee/lawn mower I had tears running down my cheeks....
