There Just Must Be a Leak in My Bank Account

My Canadian friends think I'm an absolute nutter for having 2 jobs and working all the time (I'm down to 2 jobs now but still feel hopelessly broke) but I just don't see how any of them are capable of making enough money to say, save a little so they can fly off to exotic places. Granted I have made enough money to fully fund my quick trip to Chicago for Lollapalooza but after that I feel like I'll be back to square one. One of my friends almost fell down when I said my sister had just got a job working 20 hours a week earning $20 an hour plus commissions. That's basically unheard of here unless you're working on an oil rig. And she's going to be earning more than I do with my 2 jobs working 55 hours a week. After throwing a tantrum I think all I can do is go to Chicago next week, have a blast and then stick it out through August. I mean stick it out as I shall continue on with my billion hours of work and probably stop eating and start selling fake celebrity autographs on eBay.

I always thought pay rates in Canada would be pretty similar to here. Is there as much emphasis on tipping there as there is in America?
I think my bank account has a leak in it as well, although I suspect my "therapeutic" shopping (a.k.a uni avoidance) has something to do with it.
