To be honest, I think our entire salary structure should be re-structured again to suit the current economic state of our country.

Else, then we need to live a prudent life.

No matter how much we complain, the cost of living will definitely soon overtake our income. I believe that the income gap will increase as well to two extremes.

The rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer.

I guess it really depends on your lifestyle. There are many methods to make your RM3k stretch quite a bit.
