That doesn't really make much sense.


Salary: 2,100,000

Tax: 71,400 way to high... can't find the site but should be around 25-30,000
Pension: 47,700 way too low, should be up about 98,000
Medical Insurance: 22,610 way too low, should be about 47,000
Unemployment Insurance: 9,450 never seen this
Apartment Deposit: 200,000
Maintenance Charge of Apartment: 171,310 That's about right for August. It's high because of your electricity use, which I'm assuming means you have an A/C. This will go down later

Net pay: 1,577,530

The bills should be going to you....not the school....you should take care of your own bills....I know of one school that gave their teacher a copy of their apartment bill and deducted that amount....they lived in a large 3 bedroom apartment...the teacher had a very small apartment...turned out the difference was 150,000 won a month!

I live in a studio apartment near the Gangdong subway station. I think the apartment is nice for a studio apartment, but it's just one room. A co-worker said this is a really nice part of town, and that's why my bills are high. However, my milf said it looked too high, and she lives in a really pimp apartment on a street with a Rolls Royce dealership and Prada, Louis Vuitton, Armani, and Gucci stores. The only thing on mine are 53 hostess bars, two or three restaurants, a grocery store, a motorcycle repair shop, two love motels, some convenience stores, and the school. I'm not saying I live in a bad part of town, I'm just saying I've seen other areas that look much more upscale.

I wasn't surprised to see another high apartment maintenance fee this month. I expected it this time. What was surprising is that it jumped from around 114,000 to 171,000.

I don't know anything about SLP.

I'm going to be more cost-conscious about electricity and gas this month and see if it helps any. Since I'm paying for the toilet in the restaurant, I guess I'll always use it too. That'll save some on the water.

That might have been maintenance for July, so you might not notice a change for another month or so....

You may be right. I hadn't thought about that. The good news is that, according to my boss, the apartment manager has been going into my apartment when I'm at work to turn off anything using electricity. Although I wish I had been consulted first about entry without my knowledge, I'm game for anything that saves a few bucks. I'm going to leave my A/C off no matter what and put a reminder on the inside of my door to turn off the water heater and lights before I leave.
