What in THE HELL is ya'lls definition of comfortable... If you live in NY or something, Okay. Then I can understand the higher numbers. But if you have any financial sense and you live down south, a single, no kids income of 40-50K should be comfortable quite comfortable.

I make like 43K (fiance' makes like 47K and gets a 5k raise next month) and I don't have any worries.... The only reason I have debt (other than salliemae) is because I'm getting married in like a month and we've been spending money on stuff for that. But that will all be gone because we're not registering... we're doing a "wishing well" (cash) and we're having almost 300 people at the wedding. :shaq:

All I have to pay are the normal bills like rent ($850), electric, cable/internet/phone, cell phone, insurance...

I'm paying off her engagement ring/wedding band (only have like $600 left so it will be paid off in two months)

I pay my student loans every month (like $200)... and I pay down my credit card debt every month, which once again will be paid off after the wedding, and I still have money left over to what I want. We went to Vegas for new year's, we're going to DR for our honeymoon, and I'm going to NY for Labor Day (Gotta see all my Guyanese folk at Juve!)... And going to probably two Giants games (ATL and Carolina)....

My girl just got a new car and my car is paid off, and we're planning on moving into a house within the next year (you can get a 4/5 bedroom 2700+ sqft for like 175K in the suburbs of ATL) .... :yeshrug:

Oh yea.... and I still add to my 401K (6% match) and my investment account every month. :takedat:

wtf are ya'll doing if you need 150K to live comfortably as a single person. My parents don't even break 250K on a consistent basis and they're living in a 5 bedroom house with 3 kids (the first 3 are grown now), my pops just got a hummer, my mom just got an Acura crossover, and they have 6 figures and counting saved up, they travel all the time, and they give 10% in tithes religiously :krs:

So what are ya'll doing with all this money?

Everyone's definition is different breh. Once you around someone with real paper you'll realize there's two different versions of comfort. So for you paying your bills and being able to buy a ps3 game when you want is cool. for others its private jets to their summer villa in Costa rica

I just wanna have enough money to pay for backpage hoes :smugfavre:

Some of us do breh, we can start posting pay stubs right now :jawalrus:

No need, never said it wasn't possible, but the majority of people on here make the same claims. There's bound to be some :duck:

Especially when the average "household" in America brings in around 40-60k ish..

My brother without a hs / college education makes: 180k+

My moms with a college degree makes: 100k

With a master's degree I plan to make: $$$$$, nah but 60k is good for me.....

quality >>> quantity....

Nothing is comfortable to me breh. I was just talking to the homie about this yesterday where I'm at I am with people that make $60,000-$200,000 a year and most of them have a side gig going on as well. My mom taught me your life is worth it so I want to make the most that I can while I can and actual be able to enjoy it. It's all about perspective.:takedat:

maybe it's just me but i don't think i'll ever be "comfortable." the more i make the more i want, so i'll never have that feeling of, "oh this will do." i'm always going to be restless and searching for more.
