How the FUCK do Americans make so much money, every time there's a thread about money or jobs the American posters are always making $70,000+ USD a year even when they're a recent university graduate, they can actually afford to buy houses too.
>>70564895
70k isn't a lot of money. what the fuck canada i thought you were first world
I major in women basket weaving and make over 900k+. Get on my level weedland.

>>70564895
1) 70k/ year isn't a terrible amount of money
2) people lie on the Internet anyway
3) houses are affordable here for people who make less than that even
>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
>>70564895
>$70,000
that is high for recent college grads
most probably make like $45,000 or something
and unless you live in detroit you are not buying a house anytime soon making $70,000 a year
>>70564895
they don't have to put up with Muslims or chinks either.
They steal from the rest of world, but the theft is very sophisticated.
70k is literally im barely surviving in the same city my workplace is at. Unless you live in a hick town or red state noncapital city, 70k is literally the money needed to live in a populated area, which isnt even considered high quality.
Given im in Texas, Id be lucky ti be near that income when im 30
I make $50k/year and I just sell shit on ebay and dick around half of the time :/

You should read up on the baby boomer generation of America. Fucking people paying their entire college fees with a single summer job. Even more of them were able to buy a house, a new car, and support themselves, their wives and their kids all with 1 40hr a week job. Shit was dank as fuck. Then they fucked over the future gens.

Because we need that amount of money just to afford a two bedroom apartment with four roommates in any larger metro area on top of the $1000+ a month payments in student loans and then a forced payment every month on average of $200 in health insurance with shit coverage on top of already high taxes that should be covering it in the first place.

It all comes down to the cost of living in your area
I live outside of Boston, make 80k/yr, and barely have enough after taxes and loan payments to actually do anything. Meanwhile, I have friends who make in the range of 30k-35k who can afford to travel because they live in a more rural area and didn't go to college to get raped in loans
>>70565292
They paved the way for globalised capitalism, which put an end to the old national, protectionist model. Also they elected Reagan who shredded the Keynesian policies which allowed for mobility and wealth in the post-war period.
A renovated 3br averages 100 grand. A repossessed double wide goes anywhere from 20 to 80 grand. A DIY renovation project can go anywhere from 30 to 50 grand. Rural areas will always be cheaper to live than in the cities.

but also, theres a very high cost of living here. As in, they may very well make say 3k a month. Rent gets half. Theres also food, internet or cell phone, theres student loan payments, and car payment, car insurance, taxed out the ass in our paychecks.

I make $12k a year (before taxes). That's "average" wage in my country, but over 2/3 of the working population doesn't reach it.
The prices are pretty much the same as in the US. I've been in NYC for 2 weeks. The food was slightly more expensive, but gas or housing is ridiculously cheap in the US.

>>70566220

Anyone here saying $70k isn't a good salary ANYWHERE in the USA is a Horatio Alger autist. 70k puts you in the top 25% of PERSONAL income earners. You could make the argument it's not too good compared to HOUSEHOLD income averages, but /pol/ is composed mainly of single men.

>>70566661
>At an internship

I will be happy with 60K+. Hell, 50k+ is also fine but I expect closer to the former than the latter.
My dad owns his own medical clinics and he makes a million and a half plus a year. He just opened a compounding pharmacy and that's brought in 3 million already. God I love being American, rich, and white.

Because that's a representative example of the typical environment for prices/earnings in America.
How the fuck can Canada have a housing bubble when it's population density is so low? The Seattle metropolitan area is roughly half the population of the entire country of Canada. Do you not build new houses or something? Maybe you need more Mexicans to work in construction...
You should consider that most people here just make shit up

>>70567009
Depends, I, as I said in the other post, make guns which requires machinist knowledge and I own my own business, so I dont really know how much one would make if you worked for someone else.

To an extent.
You're almost always better off going white collar if you can though. Most trades fuck up your body long term, pay decently but not amazingly, aren't the most interesting job in the world, and have no transferable skill sets and almost non existent promotion/development opportunities. You're also increasingly at risk of Juan replacing you for a fraction the cost.
The reason trades aren't more popular isn't just because people look down on them, or haven't seen this brilliant opportunity, it's because there's a hell of a lot of downsides.
I make about 90K per year as a B2B scientific instrument salesman in the NYC metro area. Also living worth my parents so I can save up ££ for a real house.
It's really not that hard if you know what you're doing.

Because most Americans (~73% IIRC) live in rural areas where something that would be a mansion by UK standards costs a grand total of $190,000.

The bay area is propped up by having things like Google, Apple, and the like in the area.
Those companies pay well, so people are more willing to pay higher prices for houses in the bay area, thus prices rise

You don't invest 100% of your base income you lying faggot. That amount wouldn't even be your take home pay after taxes.
The only way your investment story is true is if you make huge returns on penny stocks or something.
let me definitively say that unless you are enough of a retarded idiot to think you can live in a metropolitan area on 70k a year, 70k is baller status.
Case in point. I live in a rural area about 45 minutes from TWO major cities, which I visit usually every weekend. I make 70k a year and I can't even fucking spend it.

Houses are cheaper outside of heavily urbanized shitholes. Buy a house in a town of 20 - 50 thousand.
Older houses in decent condition sell for like 40 - 80k here in my town of Seymour, Indiana. I'm sure in rural parts of Canada, housing and land is relatively cheap just like it is here.
I know city slickers are deathly scared of moving out to a more rural area, but housing and the cost of living in general is extremely cheap here.

Honestly, I love NYC. But it's not worth the property taxes and cost of living.
Living in Vegas you get the best bang for your book, imo.

70k is enough to live on for your entire life...
anything more than that is just money to save and die with. and yes, i just ended a sentence in a preposition.. fuck you.
I live off 55k a year just fine. More would be nice, and i'll get there but to say 70k isn't a lot is ridiculous. My buddy just bought a house with a mortage, has a boat, a motorcycle and 2 trucks and he only makes 50k a year.

This is why everybody fucking hates you. There are plenty of jobs outside your overpriced disgusting City and State that don't require you to pay 1 million dollars just to have a condo.

Living in Oklahoma is like living in Texas, but with everything reduced. Less fun, less culture, less money. It's like Texas's younger, less cool brother.

70 g's is plenty for a 250k+ 30 year fixed.
even in high cost of living areas that's plenty unless you spend money like a retard.
you can even maintain a pretty strong cocain addiction while doing it, so you need to be like really really full blown german car retarded with your money to not be able to manage that.

I mean 70k a year is good if you are single but if you have a family it isn't shit
Growing up my father made 115k a year, we lived in a suburb in North NJ, a family of 5 and getting by wasn't the easiest
In America people don't feel rich until they make 250k a year.

Kek. I studied philosophy - traditionally something retarded.
On 64k start salary in a bank.
Because of all the 'muh diversity' shit, a specialist in ethical theory is required in almost every strategic area.
Scary thing is that studying something 'not retarded' means competition. Whereas some of the traditional 'retarded' degrees are actually a huge boon in today's uber PC society!

College graduates in the US usually make ~50K if they go to a decent school. Very possible to make 60-70K as a STEM grad from a decent school.
Most people cap out ~100K later in their careers.

Poor Drummond.
Actually felt bad for him.
Keep in mind, the US is home to a few global centres of wealth/wealthy.
Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, etc.
There are a lot of unusually huge incomes - the '.1%' often make their homes in NYC/California. this skews the overall picture a bit.
Often these people aren't even real Americans.
>>70566524
i deny to believe that there arent more price options. "choosing" a luxury residence doesnt mean your earning is shit, what the fuck

Your money goes a lot further when it isn't taxed at 50-70%.
>>70571722
that's why they often remove outliers when compiling these statistics.
they don't just like take gdp and divide it by number of people, that would end up with GDP per capita, which is not the same number

Honestly sensei you can make money as history student if you are willing to go into 'boring' fields.
One of the Systems Analyst of my team is a political science grad. He gathers requirements from the business, designs mock ups for our websites, manages our work intake, and other general business manager-y stuff without being the actual project manager. He is a writer and is genuinely useful on our team
If you are that worried about your career get a minor in some tech discipline, and then apply to the all the corporate banks/insurance/telecom businesses for entry level system analyst. They usually train you for a month or two. They are desperate for young people

He's just a millennial retard who doesn't understand that you can take a 50 minute commute and save tens of thousands of dollars.

70k USD isn't much. I actually just turned down an offer for 95k CAD which is about 73k USD. Graduating university this May.
Our issue is that our dollar is shit from the nonAlberta provinces being so consistently awful and the oil dropping.
And chinks inflating our housing prices.
I personlly don't believe everyone posting on pol is making 70k out of college.
Incomes have been stagnant for a long time, it's getting difficult for a lot of people to even maintain middle class status.
One thing the US has going for it in spades is a cost of living advantage.
Everything there is just cheaper than most other developed wnations due to economies of scale and increased competition.
A dollar goes further in the US than almost anywhere else. this has a real effect on overall living standards.
That said, the poor down there seem to be desperately poor in a way they aren't in other developed nations. They just seem REALLY down and out, and you just know they won't be getting back on their feet any time soon… barring a big lottery win
America has a higher percentage of its population under the poverty line than any other first world nation, what the fuck are you talking about?
In NOVA its usually that you can make NYC money without having to spend that much on living expenses and on a home.
>>70572540
I dunno about 70k, but most people posting on 4chan are probably middle class kids who are in college or recently graduated, so you're likely to make decent money with that.
>>70569697
You know what, the real question is, what are reasonable conditions to opt for "cheap rent"? The cheapest rent I know of in my city 400 a month, BUT, like I wish I could show you pictures. It's so run down that the windows are broken, broken glass and bottles everywhere, no yard maintenance, undoubted trap-house activity and shootings and so on and so forth. So as I said, 500 is still unheard of to live in somewhere that isn't life-threatening.
And before anyone points out the >city part, I'm originally from a small ass town where the housing projects have skyrocketed to 700+ for 2 bedrooms.
>>70572710
we're clearly talking about the whites only faggot.
try getting statistics outside of "the beeb" every one in a while
>>70572710
Mostly niggers and Mexicans, so who cares. They aren't real people.
Due to /pol/'s generally rightward leaning tendencies, I'd say recent graduates are probably mostly of STEM fields where their skills are in demand - as opposed to muh women's studies or sociology.
70k is small potatoes in the US cities. Taxes horde about 41% of your earnings--city, state, and federal. You should know about taxes neighbor.

Not everyone lives in commiefornia m8. Tax burdens vary a lot.
>>70566813
right, I would froth over 70k. especially being in midwest, but then again it isn't THAT much if you are living in St.Louis or Chicago or something.
But still would take it. Hope to be at that income level, realistically, in 3 years. That or 6 figures cause muh app took off.

We need to kick H1-Bs out, we don't need curry niggers doing our engineering and programming jobs for 40k/year

You and govt workers I despise. I'm sure you are happy about it but realistically for what you do, Plus your benefits probably puts at 150k and for what. Its inflated remuneration which ultimately costs the consumer.

This is exactly what Burgerposters do every single time someone points out a flaw in their country. All you do is deflect things and dismiss them. Those niggers and spics are Americans whether you like it or not.
This is exactly what you do when something dumb happens in the US, you just dismiss the whole state as not part of America, its happened enough times that according to /pol/ there's about 3 states in the USA.
But London has Muslims and suddenly fucking Luxembourg is full of multicult cucks because its European.

I live in a town of 50K in a flyover state. 70K here would allow me to live like a king, and my city is one of the higher cost of living cities in my state. Right now I live pretty comfortably as a single 26 y/o male earning 34K. I can afford my own 3BR/2BA apartment in a decent part of town, I can eat well and I can afford to fund all my hobbies.
>>70573542
It's not like there is no basis to what we're saying. If you compare a map of the lowest income areas of the US to a map of where the most niggers and Mexicans live there will be a very strong correlation.

maybe if 70k was your AGI, but if you actually made 70 grand gross you would likely have spent it on many things that yield deduction.
hell even if you didn't have any special deductions you get 8 grand anyway.
but if you're in an income tax state, odds are your deductions long form will be higher because you can deduct your state income taxes.
"41%" is actually 41% of your AGI over a certain bracket (i think 50k last time i looked?)
so it's really 41% of 70k - 50k - 8k.
so 41% of 12 grand and like 20% of your income 20-50

San Fran is at the extreme end of things like Manhattan or some areas around Miami. Really bad example to compare to the rest of the country to. You can live comfortably in most areas of the country for as little as 30k a year if you have a small family to take care of (one child basically).
>>70573166
agree. Jerry Brown will bring that state down. Living on only 70k in NYC for example, is barely cutting it. If you are head of household and have family and kids, you might as well be on medicaid
I don't make a ton of money on paper (like 30k a year) but I only work like 15 hours a week and spend the rest building my hobby into a buisness and trying to smash tinder skanks. Also own a house but I rent out two rooms to make the mortgage.
I make great money, and I'm 29. I'm making 102k before taxes.
Go into Nursing and specialize. Only problem is I work literally 10-12 hours per day and get usually wednesday off as my only day.
