Nah, not per month, it's per year, around Fall season, roughly $1100 on average, think we're getting 1350+ this year, not sure.

It's like anywhere else, wide ranges of style, we have a few urban areas that function much like small american cities but we also have rural extremes without running water ect.

I live in a small coastal village, running water, power, tv, ect. Everything. But we did just get cell phones maybe two years ago haha. I didn't even get a cell phone till I was maybe 24-25. The internet sucks but we do get some awesome stuff to do outside. Since I can remember, I've been harvesting fish/berries/seaweed and other wild game during the summer. This isn't our only or primary food source. Nig had pop tarts growin up too.

We preserve most of it through drying or smoking. We do freezing and canning also. It kind of depends on what ya feel like eating. I do most of my salmon in canned smoke strips that we can eat throughout the winter. But I also use a lot of King Salmon for drying because it has lots of oil.

There is also the community thing that goes a long way. It's def different than most urban areas haha. We help each other and still practice the native traditional potlatch. Biggest difference I usually find with people from the city is the perspective on death. Life seems to mean more here. Probably because there are less of us. I've had multiple friends drown/die from the elements. I've always liked how we did death here, it's bigger than just your family. Growing up I have probably been to 300+ funerals at least and dug more graves than I can remember. There is something about shoveling dirt onto a casket while the family weeps that just puts the importance we have to one another center stage.

Yeah it's weird but I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's nothing like the tv shows all about Alaska on discovery channel.

Oh and I should probably stay something about the 10 spot. That's not my wage, just the common one growing up. I own and operate a oyster farm on the gulf coast so my wage is pretty much nothing haha #farmlife
