Maltese spending

After reading, rather belatedly, statistics regarding Maltese spending, I can safely say that they show, quite glaringly, the pitiful state of Maltese wages and salaries. No wonder the island has a "brain drain"!

As a teacher of some years in Malta, I had to decide whether to buy a second-hand car (best described here as costing a bomb) or to buy a good piano. After two years of teaching in Sydney, I had bought my new piano, lived comfortably (running a car, paying before and after school care) and saved enough money to travel back to Malta to visit my family with two children in tow, and still had money in my account. Percentages are just that.

Unless one has worked in Malta and other countries for a number of years, or at least has handy statistics which include wages and salaries for various categories of trades and professions, one cannot make valid comments or inferences.
