ok, seems reasonable

So what is your cut from $1800? Let's say you take a third, that leaves him $1200 before tax. I have no idea what the tax is at your country but let's assume it another third. That leaves him with about $800. $300-$400 for his apartment so he still has $400-500 left.

- 2 kids going to school
- health insurance for his wive, 2 kids and himself
- dental cost for the 2 kids
- water, electricity, gas
- shoes, clothes for the family
- his own educational cost like, books, internet, etc, just to keep up
- travel expenses, etc
- he tries to save a little for vacations with his kids
- pension, so he and his wife do not have to work till they die
- etc

Is it still a fair salary? Even in Argentina?
