In the Netherlands, we have a minimal wage for employees. If you work full time you can make the ends meet with your income. (but it doesn't mean you can live large, not at all). It makes me sad to hear about the working poor. Nobody willing to contribute to society aka working (full time!) should be earning so little that daily life becomes a struggle. It puts OPERATION: PAY IT FORWARD in a new light for me.

We learn about the minimal wage from people we spoke with in Amsterdam. That was one of many things we liked about your culture. It's growing more difficult to make a living here each year. My wife and I are seriously considering becoming Expats and the Netherlands might be on the short list for us!
