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

[JoogJoint]

There being a ton of poverty doesnt change the fact the rent is too damn high

Rent is too damn damn high here as well. How many people can afford over $1000 in rent in The Carolinas?!

 

[JoogJoint]

50k and live like a king in the south..


Sure in some bumfukk state where ain't shyt happening..


I also hope yall south doesn't include South Florida...

I know right?

I live in the South and I want to know where all these "cheap" places are. Hell, you can't even find an apartment under $950 a month here that's available.

It's clear some of y'all don't live here and just making assumptions.

50k here in Louisiana with no kids and your eating good.


I also trip when I go out of town and people tell me there rent for like a lil studio joint is like 1,800


I'm like you could have a really nice size house with land in Louisiana for that kind of bread.

There's people here in Charlotte paying almost that much for sh_tty apartments.

 

[JoogJoint]

You a lie. 50k down here in South Carolina with no wife and kids u will be living like a king. A big house, a nice car, and savings.

Not in Hilton Head, Charleston, some parts of Florence, etc.

I live in SC, come on now...

You can rent 3 bedroom houses out for 850/month in a hell of a lot of cities in the South, I literally just went on Zillow, everywhere from Atlanta, GA to Jackson, MS to Fort Worth, TX.
Where are you looking?

 

[Rekkapryde]

I'm an adjuster for auto insurance. Don't get me wrong I love investigating accidents and telling people it's they fault and watch them get mad

nikka,

Mufukkaz ain't try to clap yo ass?

The more money I make the more I see its all relative, the only time it will actually truly matter is when I have to raise a family.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this statement?

Where at? I'm from Charleston (born and raised). Live in Atlanta area now.

Charleston housing is pricier, but it depends on where since the supply isn't as great as it is in Atlanta. If I ever had to move back there with my family, we'd move to Mt Pleasant since it's similar to the area we live now. Problem is that we'd have to pay at least double the price of what we paid for with our current house to get close to similar in Mt Pleasant.

fukk all that.

Hilton head is a retirement/golf community and Charleston and Florence are close to the coast, of course I'm not talking about that part of the state

I'm talking about the Midlands, Upstate, the areas close to Georgia like Aiken and Edgefield. I live in Richland county 50k a year for a single person here will EASILY get u a 2200 Sq ft home, a luxury car, a house full of groceries and savings. Hell gas is $1.75 down the street from me right now. It doesn't cost that much to live nice out here

 

[Ayo]

I don't think some of these Northeast ppl realize how different the cost of living is down here. That same house that they're paying a million dollars for in NY can be had for about 180k down here. Gas is cheaper for your car, the price of food is cheaper. All that shyt adds up.

I should've moved to NC or GA then. I came from the Northeast to OC California. Paying more in expenses here then I did back there. Make over $100k and living a $50k lifestyle.

I mean it's definitely a trade off. I mean it's cheap to live here in SC but at the same time we don't have nearly the infrastructure of a state like California or NY, hell we don't even have a professional sports team in this state

I'm 30 and I make less than 50K, but I don't feel like a loser because 1) it's my school stipend (which means I'm literally being paid to attend), 2) It's still significantly higher than the median income for single people, 3) I don't pay rent or pay for food (or have any major bills) which enabled me to pay off my Sallie Mae loan and my car loan while still saving a downpayment on a house, and 4) when I graduate in three years, I will make significantly more.

Wow that's a great set up. Do you live at home or is rent automatically deducted off your school stipend.

I'd ideally want to be in a situation like this. I wanna go back to school but want somebody other than me footing the bills. What Phd are you doing? Is it STEM?

Just thinking back from when I was working 40 hours at burger king to now working 40 or more hours at my current job everything I have is better, but I can't say everything I have I enjoy more (outside of my whip)


But as far as over all happiness, debt, stress, and bill's its not like I'm balling out of control..... even though I'm making probably more than 4 times what I then what I was making then. Its all relative The person making less that 100k in there 30's is failure to the man making 120k. Its all relative and we wont find some form of contentment until we realize that. Especially here in the states

That's the way I look at it these days too - so I don't beat myself up too much if my pay isn't the same as my peers. & also once my paycheque does rise a bit I will likely make lifestyle changes that will result me in having the same disposable income (if not lower) than I do now (e.g. getting a whip and really nice apartment) - plus I know that the baggage that comes with both will add to my stress at some level.

yea right now i'm chill with having a simple life and modest income. when i look into my future i simultaneously see myself being and , so just trying to enjoy the movement before shyt really gets real

 

[havoc]

By estimation, I'm making 41k a year. I'm doing good for a tech that just entered the IT field. After paying rent, car note and other bills, I still have a decent amount of money to play with. I also have excellent benefits from my job.
