What would you consider a comfortable amount of money to live on yearly? | |
beeches  User ID: 28167778  United States06/03/2013 10:04 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I feel a need to connect with Ocean energies periodically. Not to swim or surf but to just be in the presence and on the sand. I want to look to the horizon and just see endless water and waves. The rougher the better. Quoting: Holy_Diver My Wife, of course, has zero interest in this...almost as if my peace of mind is some sort of vague threat. Sad. sounds like a bumpy ride there. hope you get the ocean you need.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 39284446 United States06/03/2013 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ha, ha, ha........YOU can't live off 80,000 a year? My husband & I used to laugh at the postal employees who said they couldn't live on $50,000 a year & we were living on less than $10,000 a year. We're married, still have a child living at home (now 18) & her boyfriend hangs out quite a bit here & we're living on $28k per year. I'm flabbergasted when people make statements like that. single/divorced guy and $75K is paycheck to paycheck Ridiculous............. In some parts of this country, $75 won't even make the mortgage payment on an average size house. location. location. location... |

Exactly. 75K isn't exactly paycheck to paycheck....but you aren't going to be saving much in the NY/NJ/CT area with that salary. Last Edited by Useless Cookie Eater on 06/03/2013 10:31 PM |
| Dug In User ID: 40541778 United States06/03/2013 10:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just sat down and did a really rough estimate and came up with $2500/month for everything and that's only $300 for food. I don't live outside my means either. No bars, no drinking at all and no drugs. That's also $0 for clothes and work boots (3 months tops for $200 boots) It just takes a lot to live.

OP said a COMFORTABLE AMOUNT.....not "SUBSISTENCE/EXISTENCE" or a "GETTING BY" amount for a year. It's about living COMFORTABLY. ...and comfort is also relative to what conditions of life you are used to living in. |

As for the OP, I would need $45k a year to live comfortably, assuming somewhere in the midwest. If I were fortunate enough to not have to own a car, I'd be comfortable with $30k a year. Cars are ridiculously expensive to own, even a used one that's all paid off...insurance, gas, wear and tear and maybe even a bad accident. Fuck automobiles. |
