Can you miss a month's pay?
What about the standard of living, salaries aren't keeping up with inflation unless of course you're a politician or ceoVexXx Dogg wrote:Is there a deeper structural issue here?
Why can't people save?
Don't say people are living beyond their means. Some are, but the reality is that most people in this country live paycheck-to-paycheck. Why?
Let's talk about their "means" and what it can actually do in 2024.

Tell the politicians stop raising minimum wage in that case because that in essence drives inflation as wellDizzy28 wrote:hover11 wrote:What about the standard of living, salaries aren't keeping up with inflation unless of course you're a politician or ceoVexXx Dogg wrote:Is there a deeper structural issue here?

Salaries doesn't need to keep with up inflation. Productivity does. Increased salaries naturally come about from increased productivity.
Is Trinidad more productive in 2013 than in 2024?

Isn't that some sort of paradox?
You're being asked to do more with less, to the point where you have to do everything for nothing.
Is the workforce being motivated to increase productivity?

Without increased productivity where does the money to pay more wages come from?
If its from a position where productivity was stagnant or low to start with you would end up causing more inflation in the long run.

A number of factors lead up to Trinis being dotish, which are the following.VexXx Dogg wrote:Is there a deeper structural issue here?

Why are we comparing our standard of living to the US when our dollar is much weaker and the government subsidises alot more things here than america?
Must u be a kant?

It's very misleading, like those PNM media houses filled with half truths

For those that are reasonably well educated and/or anyone else that is not remarkably stupid; please ignore my post because you already know these things.
This is a comparison of Cost of Living and not Standard of Living.
Cost of living - financial requirement to maintain a certain level of basic necessities like food, housing, and healthcare in a specific place.
Standard of living is firmly associated with the quality of life.
Kant a US and Trinidad $$ cannot be compared due to the nature of the countries and those that live in it. Different extremes lead up the differences, which most times are based on culture, politics, and temperament of the country.adnj wrote:hover11 wrote:Why are we comparing our standard of living to the US when our dollar is much weaker and the government subsidises alot more things here than america?

zoom rader wrote:Goalpost
As u have seen, Trinis main goal is to get a credit card and take unnecessary useless loans.
That should tell you how much they save
Then u have ppl that say they are responsible for paying it off at the end of each month.
Carnival loans should also tell you how Trinis save.
Trinis are not responsible
