Is there anyone over 30 making less than 50k annually on here?

[West Coast Avenger]

I make damn 100K and I've overdrafted on my last six paychecks. Ain't about how much you make but how much you spend. I got friends who make a third of what I make that can do more than me any given day of the week.

Living beyond your means....that is the american dream............

Here we go

Disclaimer: 50k in all markets are not equal. For instance 50k is a very comfortable life thru much of the south while 50k will have you living like a bum in nyc or sf....

A better measure of success would be, how do you stack up against the median income for your area and your field..

(Waits for someone to say im mad, and i must not make 50k )

This, in Houston my $45k supported me and my wife while she was in school full time and we still lived relatively comfortable. We were still able to go on vacation, afford two car notes and a cash car and still go out on the weekends we just couldn't make it rain while she wasn't working. Now that she is we are headed to Europe for thanksgiving, went to Tokyo in February, and Costa Rica for her bday in May.

I make $24,400 a year. Nope
The same way everyone does, savings and sacrifices.
Invaluable to what? I don't know anyone with a job with any real value. If you're not some type of surgeon, your job isn't really valuable, IMO.

All coastal trolling aside

Comparing incomes doesnt tell the whole story especially with the huge amount of nyc posters here

Using 50k as a measure of success doesnt work

I definitely agree. It's crazy to try to compare because of the cost of living

Average American household doesn't even make 50k

Even less for black folks, but the the the coli.

On the coli no one is unemployed, everyone has a great career, brand new car and big house

Thats pretty much half the United states anybody could front for a website, them numbers and stats don't lie..

Its not too many people over 30 making that much and it's not there fault it's this fukked up world and economy we living in.

Nah breh, it's their fault. There are plenty of careers available out there that yield good income and require little to no education. Truck driving instantly comes to mind. I'm tired of nikkas getting tattoos on their face at 16 years old and then claiming that there aren't any jobs out there. Nah, you're just a fukk up.

50k will have you living like a king in the South, who told y'all that shyt
that's a pretty damn solid income but no need to exaggerate like hell

Bro you seriously need a financial adviser. Real talk.

Started to fall into a financial hole two years ago, then got laid off, then took a job in another city, which for all intents and purposes will set me for life, but I didn't consider relocation costs and all-the-while still maintaining another crib in another city...

I'm in a hole now, but I'll be good in 9-12 months...especially after my bonus hits next year...
