People in rich countries may not understand, but here in Brazil most
people live with approx. $2,600.00 (our "minimum salary" ).
Lots of people with university diplomas earn around $6,000.00.

Of course doctors, judges and some government employees may earn $100k
and over.

Here, a family earning $33k per year would be a class "B" family (Class
"A" are the riches, and the classification goes up to class "E" ).

Regards,

Isaac
