well thats why i said most places. But you have to factor in peoples personal expenses. The thing that affects you the most is rent and mortgage. One persons utillities shouldnt be too high, they have a choice whether or not to have an expensive car note or a car not at all etc...

Can you explain how u would be broke? Plenty of families make this or less and they have to support kids. If you are one person 50k should be where you will be ok. Not saying you are balling or anything.

Sure.

If you're a single person earning 50k/year in Chicago,Il your net pay per week will be ~$750.

Rent/Utilities in Chicago, for a DECENT one bedroom, not ritzy and not in the hood, just decent, will be $1,000-1,200 month. We'll assume that the place was furnished and you don't have any furniture to buy/pay off either.

Factor in $100/week on food and you're at 1400-1500 for basic living expenses.

That's two checks, gone. You got two more checks left.

Car note/gas($4.00+/gallon)/insurance/transit expenses and cellular/cable/Internet data plans come in at ~$600-800/month

You got one check left.

And you still haven't bought any clothes, paid any traffic tickets, got new plates or vehicle stickers, went on outings/dates, paid on your student loans, or put anything into ANY of your savings accounts yet.

But, say you dump the whole check into your savings account. 750x12 = 9,000./year to save in tangible cash.

One major repair or bill can knock out half those savings.

Well... I have multiple bms n shyt so naw... but

You should find a contract position making 60/hr... or 65. You would be better off, not have to suck metaphoric dikk daily, and have the flexibility of not being an employee. End up w like 125k.. n just get the benefits you want.....




Not that you'll keep any money ... fukkboys who brag m shyt , never save a dime.

It depends on area. I'm only willing to work in the perimeter area (Dunwoody/ Sandy Springs which is close to where I live), downtown, or buckhead. Anything else is real questionable and they gonna have to up that dough.

Thanks great example. So that does explain it.

But to be honest one person does not have to spend $100 a week on food.
Buy a pack of chicken a few side dishes, than breakfast food. 100 a week is excessive. That's saying 400 for one person.

Car note depends on how expensive your car is and you may not have a note period.

You don't need to buy clothes every month.


Rent
Food
Transportation
Insurance
Utilities
Phone
Student loans (if any)


Are the things you must pay. Like I said depending on how you live it can work.
The major thing is how u budget your money. Plenty of people in this country got kids and a spouse and make it off 50k. If one person can't do it. Either their area is sucking up their money or unnecessary bills are.
