i think they've answered your query sufficiently... the salary being ok, as you know, really depends on the person... this is too small for someone who's getting huge... but good enough for someone who's getting lesser...

anyway, since you said you are single and live modest lifestyle, it should be enough... i dont know about the gap and h&m stuff... you can buy during sale season... or once in a while, won't hurt... :)

also maryam said it right, many people are looking for jobs here, it's not easy to find one...
