Try owning a house with that wage. Say you buy a house for $400,000....your mortgage payment would be somewhere around $2800/mth. Plus all the other goodies that come with owning a house such as Gas, Electricity, Phone, Internet, TV, water, sewer. Plus food, gas, car payment, cellphone, etc. It takes a lot of money to be able to own a house on your own here in Alberta, and $17/hr would not cut it. I get paid upwards of $40/hr and that gives me quite a bit of room to do other things such as trips and other things. And I own my own house at the above price and I am paying everything else stated above. It really adds up quickly.

owning a house is great, and i commend you both for being able to do so, i cannot do so until i have a decided upon a career and finished school for it, owning a house just isn't in my cards right now.

hey are there any computer gurus on here? i am in a computer class and i need to answer this question about specifications for hardware for a particualar company, things like memory,storage,cpu, ram,processor etc. anything that would be needed for this situation. if anyone has extensive knowlege or even above average knowledge that wants to help me that would be sweeet. here is the question for anyone wanting add input. there isnt any wrong answers, there are just better answers then others:
"1. You have been hired to analyze and recommend hardware and software for a graphic artist company with 5 employees. All employees will require access to productivity and communication tools like email and word processing. The 3 graphic artists at the company do most of their work in graphics manipulation using industry standard software such as Photoshop and InDesign. The manager often double checks work done by the artists before submitting for print, so the manager will require a computer that can handle the graphic artists file formats. The secretary does not need to handle the raw graphics files, but still requires a productivity suite for typing letters and doing some spreadsheet analysis."
thanks
