Be honest: how many of you retards survive on $30,000 a year or less?

>be me
>live in houston TX
>low cost of living
>1600sf, 3 bed 2 bath house costs me less per month than a nice, 1 bedroom apt
>i do make more than $30k/year, though

about 20k live in Chi with 2 roommates in ghetto neighborhood, drive cheap car, mom pays for my phone

£26k I guess since the pound drop that puts me under $32k.

How do I survive? It's not easy with two kids and a mortgage but I do ok.

no... you missed the point and should not have posted

I get my rent paid for me and 6 grand a year in NEETbux.

That is all :(

Yearly
Rent: $12,000
Bills: (elec, internet, phone): $2520
Car: $1400

Gives me almost half my income after tax to play with and spend on food. Im just as happy eating nothing but peanutbutter sammiches as when i have a freezer full of steak.
I get by fine on $31,000 a year.

I do it in California
>fightme

28k/year

Luckily, I live in Oklahoma (bet no one's ever said that before), as the cost of living is quite low here.

>studio apartment in a bad neighborhood, but about to move into a one bedroom apartment in a nice complex
>shitt '97 Camry, but close to having enough to buy a new car
>enough money to take my girlfriend out on nice dates still

I'm not rolling in dough, but with a proper budget, you can do alright for yourself.

Living off between 10 and 12k a year, depending on how much my job decides to fuck me on hours every year.

Rent's 200, but I live with two friends and we split the rent.

I get about 130-140$ a week, and sometimes it's hard to get food. Other times, I have all kinds of money, and can even afford weed, though I really shouldn't.

i'm sorry i triggered you, you delicate little snowflake :)

He specified sub 30k income. So yeah, you did miss the point, retard, so don't act like you're not the stupid one

What kind of job do you work?

i don't because my standard of living doesn't count as "surviving"

In the suburbs or the hood

I did it thruout my 20s living in socal. Gotta learn how to manage monies anons

Warehouse, I'm a freezer jockey.

I don't. I make over 75k yearly.

>so don't act like you're not the stupid one

kek. and take your job? no thanks, you triggered little snowflake :)

Texan here. Everyone I know is moving to Houston, and they have regular jobs nothing too professional. Are the affordable nice homes on the outskirts kinda by Humble TX?

north of I-10
west of I-45
outside I-610
inside Beltway 8 :)

Autistic daydreams dont count as real income

...

affordable homes pretty much everywhere

most new homes are shit, though

mine was built in 76, but it's solid. brick all the way around. decent sized yard. large rooms and closets. very large kitchen that i'm about to upgrade.

What are you even on about? You can't just call everyone a snowflake when they call you out for saying something stupid. Jesus, guy

Hows that bait taste retard?

less than 20000€

aww....another delicate snowflake gets triggered. sorry for that.

The pound drop bounced back though...

Depends on how much I want to work. Moved to SE Asia 4 years ago. In the summer, when the heat hits 40+ (Celsius) I work about 15 hours per week, around $1600 per month. When it is cooler I usually take on 32-35 hours per week touching the $4k area.

nice. those look tasty, user.

>finished university started working
>steped in with 36000$ a year
>teacher
>the more experience i gain, the more i earn
>in 15 years i will get 54000$

I live on 30k a year in total of spending. Easy to do with your house and car paid off. Granted the rest of my money goes into investments and savings.

Oakville, Ontario

Made $13.75 an hour in a 40 work week. After tax and RRSP and EI I budgeted as long as you make $10/hour you can survive pretty well.

Rent: $500/month (utilities, Internet, cable) but no A/C
Food: $300 per month
Weed: $240/month
Tim's: $40/month
Tools: $100/month
Booze: ?

Ah, damn. Let the wool get pulled over my eyes with that one. Good catch.

>teacher
>54k

i think its okay. could be more but its an easy job so i dont want to complain

Live of 16k a year.
Easy enough
Don't have a car and just share house with a few mates

I earn $30k a year but I only work for six months of that. The other six months I travel and write. Best part is, it's a job I love.
If you've got no dependents, you have zero need for money.

Make 106k rent is 1100 saving 3k per month.

I get SSI for having shizophrenia and did not work long enough to have SSDI.

I receive $8,820 from it and $1980 in food stamps.

Rent is $4,920 yearly, $480 on electricity (i use very little power) and internet is $960.

Monthly I have usually $200 or less money to spend on things I need. I do not have to pay for water and do not own a car.

I would actually be more screwed financially if I did work. I would have to pay child support and my SSI would be subtracted by every $2 I make by $1. After everything was said and done I would not only lose my food stamps, but ATLEAST $300 in income due to the ransom that is child support, taking the bus and lose my medical insurance.

surviving on it is tricky, a lot of planning is needed and it takes a lot of sacrifices but it's manageable because I am in a place that does not charge water, and rent is decent for living on my own.

I'll take data mining for $800.

When's the last time you had sex

approx 2 years ago.

I make less than $30,000/yr, but I died years ago.

It's the daily double!

Are you sure you aren't a retard living in a ghetto?

>Make 33,000 a year roughly
2 bedroom 2 story apartment with washer/dryer and dishwasher, not too awful.

Drive 99 shitty rusted out Expedition

Spend all my extra money on guitars, computers, and gf instead of saving.


I'm bad at being responsible. I always pay my bills, but sometimes I barely do it.

Not if people stop parking at the airport.

> In 15 years I'll make $54k
Said me at 12.

Do you get a monthly allotment of pride with the money from other people?

44k right now, could make double that if I pull my shit together. I waste a shit ton on alcohol and drugs. Turned 30 and trying to pull things together, making progress ... I actually started saving money for the first time in my short degenerate life. Feels kinda good.
