I can't live off my $174,000/yr salary

The Florida Capital News reported last week on a speech Steve Southerland, a Republican representative, gave to a retirement community in Tallahassee in which he complained about some of the parts of his new job:


i]"He said his $174,000 salary is not so much, considering the hours a member of the House puts in, and that he had to sever ties with his family business in Panama City. Southerland also said there are no instant pensions or free health insurance, as some of his constituents often ask him about in Congress."

What a dickhead.


"And by the way, did I mention? They're shooting at us. There is law-enforcement security in this room right now, and why is that?"


Really???Why is that you ignorant slimeball?

Do us all a favor and get a clue. Then die.Or jump of a tall building on Wall Street with your buddies.

He's doing too many drugs (expense), has too many "toys" (expense), has too much real estate (expense), has too many women on the side (expense), etc. - basically he is a loser.

I live off of $33,000/year, including raising a kid and paying for private school. $174,000 would be like winning the lottery around here.

So fire him, take away everything he owns, then throw him in a homeless shelter.

We can do a scientific study on him to see if he dies.

He should be forced to work for minimum wage for a year and rent an apt (section 8, to see who is rewarded for being a lazy pig) and to literally make ends meet they way they expect us to. Actually it should be a requirement.

Yes, household total. School is about $4800/year after you add in fees and books. We don't eat out. We buy clothes second hand. Meals are wild rice and veggies with little meat. No perks, but we aren't hurting for anything and that's a lot more than some people can say. I'll start renting out spare bedrooms before I put her in public school, though. LOL!

VERRRY interesting. How much is rent around where you are at?

Up here the price for housing is higher so I won't tell you how much I've made this year. I couldn't live off the amount you stated though that is for sure.

Understandably DC is much more expensive than the rest of the US but come on..174K/yr?

I raise 4 children on 19K a year. We own our home (5 bedrooms), drive an Escalade, and the kids get new school clothing, shoes, etc.

It takes A LOT of energy and determination, but it can be done. I take great care of their clothing and then trade them in at the local resale shop for their next size. I shop with coupons, take advantage of sales and save up for the bigger items that we need.

We live in a very well-to-do neighborhood, and the neighbors would never guess how little we live on. We were economically strong when we had the kids and bought the house, and then life happened.

Making it on 174k? That would be freakin' awesome.
