ok so I looked into what you where talking about but as soon as your 20 my chart does start to apply!
under 16 years: $6.03
16 years: $7.74
17 years: $9.46
18 years: $11.18
19 years: $13.51
20 years: $16.00
as for every thing being more expensive well I've done my research there as well Prices are generally a bit less then double what we pay for an Item in the USA. but with your min wage of 16 an hour compared to our minimum wage of 8 dollars an hour no matter what age you are. if we compared hourly minimum wages to the prices of say a can of coke in the us it would be about a dollar in a store but it would 1.20 in Autralia. So basically you would be spending a much smaller percentage of one hours pay compared to someone working minimum in the USA. yes the Prices in Australia, but you generally make more then enough to make up for it. at least with the several Items I've compared!

Most of that is fairly accurate, some things are a bit off. A cold can of coke can cost anywhere between $1.50 to $2.50. It's pretty crappy when I look in comparison but I think, along with minimum wage, the average wage would also be higher. How I wish I could import with no shipping charges.
