So sometimes it's not enough," said Armoa, a metal mold factory worker who is the technical director of a local soccer team and funds his own small business.
Armoa, even with his three salaries and income from his wife, a teaching assistant, often struggles to get by.
"You have to put a positive face on things, good energy and think that tomorrow things will be better."
