You lost if your not making 20/hr+?

[EndDomination]

you show me where in the south $15 is considered upper middle class

Choctaw County, AL
Median household income is: $24,749
$15/hr wouldn't be upper middle class, but it would be squarely middle class.
if you're making $20/hr you're caking.
Let me do BigLaw for a few years, then lateral to somewhere down there, I'll have all the trailer-trash/Southern-hood bishes

I lost. I make 7.25. Oh wait I forgot to factor in commission. Comes to a average of 28-32 a hour.

Thoughts?

you lost if you're trading your time to get paid based on what someone else TELLS you your time is worth



boss up

I don't see how anyone lives in NYC making under 20 dollars an hour

Honestly, cheap food and no car.
Just go to East Flatbush and live in a high-rise.
Its almost easier in a way to live there and not make much money, because the environment of people who are all in the same position as you is huge.
There is a lot less judgement, a lot more you can do for cheap, and even surrounded by the wealthy in other places, the strain isn't quite as real.
I used to wonder that too, I stayed in Brookyln for a few months with my cousin a learned a little bit.
Still thinking about moving there after school (probably will have to anyway if I want to touch mid-six figures in law)
Just gonna live in East Harlem and stack for a while.

depends on your age and situation.

Fresh out of school in 2014 i was making $15.30 but it was means to an end. I kid you not when I say that experience was used to double my salary elsewhere a year later.

it ain't how much you make, it's how much you can keep

middle class is not measured based on median household o

that is called a working class city

Guess I'm winning then

Real Spit,

*leaves early, not worried if check will be short or not*

I'm trying to get here I'm in a good position to do it in the next year or so.

 

[semtex]

I just graduated last year and make $25.50 per hour. August of next year it will likely be close to double that. I'm a software engineer.

Man you gotta get in where you fit in in this day and age. If you're making ends meet, not going hungry, have shelter over your head then you're good. Anything else is a luxury.

Exactly this!
It's all dependent on the situation.
You can live on the beach in hawaii or live in the forest down south making 6.50 an hour.
Bathe in public rest stops or at the ymca, keep everything you need in your backpack...the rest in storage, sleep in your car or stealth-camp out.

It's all about what your situation is. Most people are so mired in the american lifestyle that they literally cannot make less than 20-30 dollars an hour or their world comes crashing down.

 

[benjamin]

I make $27 an hour but how does that constitute me "winnning"?....i still got the same problems as the man making $7.75 flipping burgers..

 

[Data-Hawk]

you had to been sucking some mad dikk

Lol@your sig

 

[Ziggiy]

you had to been sucking some mad dikk

First of all. You are a fakkit for suggesting that the only way to progress quickly is to perform some disgusting and despicable homosexual act.


Secondly. You are an idiot if you truly don't think that having a goal and working hard for that goal will not yield positive results.

 

[Doctor Wily]

In nyc/l.i

Under $18... you lost.
