Made
It's Mexico, you're lucky if you made 20k a year.
Could this be seen as a conditional sentence by putting made in the past tense? Since we're conversing in the present but I'm implying that he'd be lucky if he hypothetically made 20k a year...
Or should it be lucky if you make 20k a year....since it's in present time.
Input'd be nice.
