I am doing a little experiment here to prove a point. 35,000 a year roughly, three kids, married, $800/month in rent. I'm surviving and paying the bills, and manage to splurge on the kids once in awhile. Ita a lot of work and budgeting but I'm happy, that's what matters.

I am doing a little experiment here to prove a point. There are people on this planet earning DOUBLE our salaires or even TRIPLE our salaries and basic average income levels and complain that it isn't enough! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13127957 I once had a landlord that owned multiple properties in both California and Hawaii and had just built themselves a large pricey house in an upscale neighborhood. Several times while I lived there they called and begged us to please pay the rent early if we could because they were out of food. “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.

Yes, much better - higher IQ, better educated, better at dealing with people and working with them to get things done, better at speeches, conducting meetings, better at socializing, less lazy, less of a procrastinator, more organized, I could go on and on. |

I am doing a little experiment here to prove a point. It's all about your monthly 'nut'. Some people make $100k and can't pay the bills, while someone making $30k w/o overhead can live like a king.

I am doing a little experiment here to prove a point. Way less than 60k. Freelancing isn't what it used to be, but I do well enough. Saving to buy so I don't have to rent anymore. It'll probably be a while, but It's a goal that means a lot to me, so I know I'll get there. |
