Dear friends Can anyone tell me the average wage for someone working in the tourist shops in Luxor? My friend (who I may eventually marry) says he works for commission only, but that the average he would get paid if he wasn't on commission only would be about 250 EP a week. Is this correct? He is asking me to send him 4,000 EP a month so that he can buy his medication (for a blood disorder), buy food and drink for himself and rent, and be able to send some money back to his Mum (he has no Dad).
I feel that he is trying to take advantage because I am a professional English woman, and that 4,000 EP a month seems a lot for his needs. I would also struggle to send this each month as I have so many expenses of my own, including a large mortgage, but I still feel guilty saying that this is too much for me. I am living in England by the way.
All answers would be welcomed.
Thank you. Elaine
