Yesterday i have a chat with a American . He complained that his job pay less money after he changed his post in the hospital where he work.
Hearing this i was numb with shock !
I remember that my geography teach told me American earn 30000 dollars a month on average. Then all of my classmates yell and envy the life of America .
Then the American explain that

that's nonsense
if that were true, why have so many Americans lost their jobs and their homes?
why are so many of them in homeless shelters?
and why are so many collecting unemplyment benefits?
well, that may be a lot of money to Chinese people, but our expenses are almost the same amount
combined, my wife and I earn close to $70,000, and we still lost our house.
........

The others day ,i have a chat with an American student on Skype . He told me that he cound't go to school full time because his sister was in college. "its expensive'" he explained "its going to be 45,000 for the next year . i'm not really rich "
After chatting with foreigners , i have been aware that living in earth is not easy.
