i don't know $20,000hkd is consider good pay or not, i just know some u grad is still earning $10K or less.  
people paid $73/mth, which they can take unlimited public transit.  how much do people spend on pubic transit per month in hk.  consider greenhouse effect & traffic congestion, you can ride bike in vancouver, we have bike lanes.  what?  you only find bike lane in taipo?  well, then live & work in taipo, don't go to central la.
we paid ~$150-200cad for our electric bill/month for a 3000sp ft house.  how much do you pay for your 500sq ft unit(building area).
we paid $2500 for property tax which i can dance, jump or sleep on the grass in our front & back yards.  when was the last time you step on the grass.  remember, don't do it in the park, not allowed.
plus, i paid $54/month for my msp, which i can go to see my doctor daily if i want.  "sign"...haven't find a good looking one.  is $54 cad good enough for you to visit your doctor once?

how much do i pay for management fee, but my management fee includes gas wor, does yours.  
i don't know which jobs are offering $20K/mth.  however doctors who work for govn't hospital are earning $45K+/mth and they are going to get a pay cut soon.  have you read the news? wow from $45K
how much we pay for utilities? But what about people who live in HOUSES in hk?  probably you won't even able to find out.
How do you know those new and expensive cars at Aberdeen Centre are not used cars.  used cars don't mean crap & old wor.  i can pay the honda civic price for a benz wor, why i still want to drive a honda civic ar.
