Agreed RP. But my point was, the reason the majority of us are here (or in Iraq, or where ever) is because we can earn more money than at home, so majnoon shouldn't be surprised that we're earning a large sum. And it's important to remember that earnings are all relative to what we earn back home and the cost of our lifestyle back home.

To say the $87k is a lot means nothing unless you put it into context. $5k is a lot to some people, because they earn far less than that back home and the cost of their lifestyle is low.
