Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department - The truth about being "RICH" in Hong Kong

Here is the webpage for this department - just click here !

Interesting is following:

85,000 households live on an income of less than HK$ 2,000 a month.
130,000 households live on a monthly income between HK$ 2,000 - 4,000 a month.
More than 550,000 households have a monthly income of HK$ 40,000 or more.
The median monthly household income for the year 2011 was HK$ 20,500.

If you take the 2 groups 85,000 + 130,000 together and multiply by 4 persons per household we
will have a figure of at least 605,000 people in Hong Kong living with HK$ 4,000 or less each month.

Most probably that figure is much, much higher. Anybody here can tell me how to survive in Hong Kong with HK$ 4,000 a month (this is USD 514 or EU 405 or GBP 334) ? What place this people can
afford to call their home or at least to live in ? How many hungry mouth can be fed every day ? Look at the prices on the markets or in the supermarket ? What can they do for their children to get a proper education ? The "Kindergarten" for my son for example already cost almost HK$ 2,300 ......! Then no food for the rest of the month ?

SOMETIMES I HATE HONG KONG ! I HATE THAT KIND OF SOCIETY - ONLY TAKING - NOT REALLY GIVING ! ALL THAT HENRYS & DONALDS - JUST SERVING THE UPPER CLASS ! GREEDY PEOPLE EVRYWHERE - SEE THE BOC 100 YEARS BANKNOTE STORY
- WHAT ELSE ? CHEATING EVERYWHERE - WHY NOT - THE GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE BIG BOSSES GRABBING OUR BUCKS EVERYDAY WITH NO MERCY: ParkNShop, Wellcome, Mannings, Watsons, Landlords, MTR, KMB, CLP, Towngas, HK Electric, Property Agencies, Tunnel providers.........something missing ? Oh yes BANKS & TELECOM companies !
Cheers - dont worry be happy !
