You the dummy tryna live in New York

Sure man sure

Avg rent, high income tax, food, and going out occasionally, you’re probably saving 500-1k per month on 100k salary. You’re not going to be able to ever afford a house

Going half with a partner>>

Shout out the Dodge Brothers who sued Henry Ford when he tried to tie wages to consumer price and ensure that each of his workers could afford to buy what they made

that song is great, but u do know that’s just a music video right buddy? it’s important to me that u know that.

Untuck them testies and move to a s***tier neighborhood. Or a better neighborhood in a different state

Still living with your family has become the norm

more like 3

Makes me wanna scam.

100k is like 50-60k in some cities essentially. It sounds good if you don’t think about student loan debt, credit card debt, car note, groceries, etc. majority of people, our reality is that many people don’t climb their way to 100k+ income debt free.

As a single person yes you’re doing alright, try raising a family off of that, you’re literally living paycheck to paycheck still.

It’s like $1500 just to live in a studio nowadays. Ain’t no level of financial literacy justifying these rising prices. You cannot save your way out of poverty.

50 an hour is enough idc where you live even in NYC you can easily make it

If you’re complaining about making that much you sound privileged as hell, people struggling making much less and still surviving

I literally made that in nyc for a year and it’s definitely livable for a single person If you bite the bullet and live far out in Brooklyn, BX, or Queens to get a 1 bed for 1800 or so

You can afford 2000-2300 rent on that salary tho honestly.

Disclaimer: I moved to Texas for the same salary

I was at 68k when I first started living on my own in NYC and made it work while being a financially irresponsible idiot but the fact I could be one and not starve says enough

There are probably less than ten cities in the entire US were a single person can’t live alone on 100k

$50/hr is def livable wtf

Anyways toledo is a broke mfs heaven

what kind of life are y’all living where $50 and hour isn’t livable???

Youngstown >>>

Jk Youngstown sucks ass

My fiancée and I both make wayyy less than that and we own a home in the suburbs. And are able to take a vacation at least once a year or once every other year

You just gotta live within your means and be smart with your spending

Depends on what u value. For example if u love going to concerts then you'll be missing out on a lot of acts cause not many are gonna do the small town circuit
