My wife, when she was a kid, got about 10,000 won per week!

How does your salary compare to that?

Well?

My salary is higher, but I work for it. I think this is an unfair restriction and my work rights should be extended so that they are more in line with those of a Korean kid's, minus the perpetual studying of course.

Good one Lush,
You paying attention RR??????

For me, well my slary is about $2500 a month so when compared with 40 000 won a month for kids I'm doing very badly.

Oh wait a minute, i forgot to convert.

Koreans in their 20s and 30s are relying on their parents for school fees and living costs. A man identified as "J" and living in Taegu married when he was a student, but this broke up in less than a year. He receives W1 million per month from his parents and whenever he needs more he asks. They even paid his divorce payment settlement of W10 million.
