>mfw finally got a job
>mfw 30K a year
That's almost 100 dollars a day, in case your NEET brain is too uneducated to do the math. If the rent for my apartment is 500 per month, and I spend 10 dollars per meal 3 times a day (no picking from the value menu, I'm getting full combos and a little extra for desert), then that leaves me with almost 2400 per month for me to spend on anything I want. Anime, vidya, the possibilities are endless. With this hard earned cash, I can make my free time even comphier with the pleasures money can buy. I'm practically set for life.

>rent for my apartment is 500 per month
Good luck living in that hostel/shitty city.
My mom was 11. But it's not so bad. We're into a lot of the same shows & stuff>>26575843
I honestly have no idea how much dollars are worth so this doesn't really tell me anything.
>>26575823
What if you subtract stuff like bills and car payments? I doubt you can get an apartment for 500 dollars a month and not have to drive to work
>free time
money cant buy that
>>26575890
Walking is free, man. And I get planety of exercise to make my body healthy and happy.

One dollar
>>26575901
>planety
how long is the walk? I always assumed that anywhere within walking distance of a job in a city would be, like, 1000+ a month at LEAST
Like, in Manhattan basically the smallest possible apartment is $990 a month, and if you go to queens or brooklyn so you can still take the subway it's STILL a large amount for anything bigger than a closet
I really don't get your math. You earn 2500 a month (30 k a year) and yet you say you spend 30 dollars a day on food (that's 900 a month) plus 500 for rent. How the fuck you have 2400 left?
>>26575931
One dollar is worth one quarter of a big mac
>>26575946
It's about 40-50 minutes of a walk, but that's like, the length of an album so I can just listen to my music while enjoying the scenery.
>>26575951
Also, who the fuck spends 900 a month on food
The average is 300 a month
>>26575823
>eats fast food everday for a year
>develops many medical conditions
>tfw all your money now goes to buying medical supplies like insulin and insulin pumps, cholesterol medication, etc.
>>26575823
So I'm sure this is bait, but your math is fucked. 30K/yr comes out to 2500/month before taxes and insurance and shit. You're realistically looking at under 2000/month after all of that, then you've got rent (500, really? If you don't have a roommate you must be living in a shithole) and utilities.
>>26575823
What about taxes?
>>26575823
I make 40k, but I also get to work from home and it's super low stress. I can actually play turn-based video games while working without any loss of productivity. Can't really watch or read anything until after work though.
If I lived in a cheap rental I would be making extraordinary bank.
>>26575931
5-7 dollars buys you a fast food meal
20 dollars can buy you 1-2 clothing items
500+ pays for rent
30-80 buys a full tank of gas depending on where you live
50-100 buys groceries for a week
>>26576046
What do you do from home? Is it some kinda art thing?
transport costs?
also if you are american, health insurance?
you can survive but you can't live and no woman will want to start a family on that, or be your partner
women have goals that cost money in life, you won't get a relationship
>>26575931
Nobody knows. American currency is based on burgers. OP is using long forgotten currency.
>>26576082
Americans don't actually pay for their own insurance, generally
Employers usually pay for it
Also, median household income is less than twice that, so with someone else earning the same wage they'd actually be in the upper half of earners
>>26575823
OP, can you tell me what type of job you got? I'm curious. Waiting for your reply

I literally just spend all my money on games and food. I actually started an anime figure collection because I had so much money I didn't know what to do with it. I'm thinking about buying a BMW or a yacht.

>>26575823
30k for a full time job?
That's fucking awful, anon. Don't waste your time making peanuts
>>26576217
Yeah, kind of. You could also say that it comes out of your paycheck in european countries, too, just through taxes.
Honestly, it's kind of a stupid system we have here, and the supposed benefits of "privatization" haven't really helped because it leads to the healthcare industry being really good at selling stuff instead of being really good at making people better for cheap like it arguably should be
>>26576197
Still more of a realistic accomplishment than most people on this board, anyone here who says they earn more than 50k a year on their job is full of shit though.
>>26575823
>10 dollars per meal

Lol
I eat 2 times a day for 2 bucks in total.
>>26576275
>no successful people browse this board
How can you possibly consider that to be fact? What world are you living in?
I make 24K a year as a mall security guard. 90% of my job is sitting in the security room til someone tries shoplifting. then we stand by the shoplifter til the cops come and go back to the security room. Pretty sure the only exciting thing to happen in the 10 months I've worked there was a shoplifter tried running and Roy the huge guard tackled his ass to the ground. Pretty sure the only reason I got the job too was because of the equal employment thingy and needing at least one girl in the workplace.
>>26576308
please leave roastie you're not welcome in this man cave
>>26576308
Thank you government employment requirements.
>>26576302
Because successful people would have no reason to be in a place full of failures constantly, if its just some normie passing by finding a reason to brag, then its a hollow brag.
/biz/ is enough of a joke of a board as is.
>>26575823

this is not including clothing, going out, drinks, weed, video games and equipment. this is you living frugally
That $30k figure is most likely a gross one, rather than post taxes.
Also, prepare to pay taxes at the end of the year.
You can certainly have money left over and have decent fun if you're smart about it. though, you're on r9k, so i can only assume that you're retarded.
>>26576407

Robots don't party, don't have gfs or friends, don't go on vacations, don't eat outside, don't buy expensive clothes, etc. We only pay for rent and internet and food, so yeah, we are rich with 30k, unlike you.
>>26576275
It's really not hard to break 50k, I wait tables and do about that
>>26576281
Do you live in the fucking sudan?

$50k is not a lot
>>26576424
lol u probably see a McDonald's meal every day of the week when you see that figure
>>26575823
Wtf.
I am going to college to be a programer and if I am lucky I will lay job for 1500 eur max.
Thats like 18K a year for everyday of hard fucking work and concentration.
Not to mention all those uneducated twats that will bother me for unplugged cables and paswords written with capslock on.
I am moving to America..
>>26576424
It costs roughly 100 dollars a week for GROCERIES that last you a week. This figure is accurate. Cunt.
>>26576805
For a loser on /r9k/ whos lucky to even get a job it is, everyone knows only the successful and normies/chads can get good paying jobs.

>>26576407
Where'd you get that figure for renter's insurance? I paid $60 for one year and I'm fairly sure they didn't check my credit.
No car and no need for buying gas, but you undershot the water/electricity imo.
Who needs a fancy as shit phone? Just use a Skype number. We don't leave the house anyway.

>>26575999
Just get a car you fucking loser
>>26575823
That's wrong op. At most you'd be making 1800 per month after taxes.
Gross pay yes you are making 2400 per month and getting paid 15.00 per hour.
But you forgot you are forking over for takes.

You either live in the third world, only eat cup noodles, or don't buy your own food. 300 a month on food? Really?
>>26576406
Joke's on you, I am a successful professional (6 figures income.) I have no idea why I occasionally shitpost on /r9k/ though. Maybe it's just fun to stir a nest of losers.
>>26575921
That concept is reserved for profit seeking entities who have the potential to make an equal or greater amount of money in less time.
Typical neetbeard faggots talking out of their ass again
>>26577702

damn bro
>>26575843
>tfw i live for less than that amount.
Rent is like 100 dollars. Electricity, water and Internet included.
It's a pretty big room. Shame I don't have furniture. It's like what jail cells are like here.
>>26575924
For such a shit pay might as well work in a factory or a shop with set hours or something
Doing overtime for such a shit pay is terrible
>>26576930
Holy fucking shit where do you fags live? 20 euros get me enough groceries for an entire week
>>26575924
Dude work in a grocery store. Damn man the fuck is wrong with you?

How do you spend more than 100/wk on food? I buy groceries every night/every other night for each day and I can barely scrape past 200 if I'm bulking
>>26576987

I think it depends from state to state.

I felt that you no car but I wanted to throw out a realistic normie life scenario.

One person should be able to get by on 80$/month, at least in my state. Unless you're one of those people that leaves the light on in every room and everything is constantly on. Or, you're growing weed, yo.

Pretty good, bros. I pay the cable and water bill, though, which is about $2400 a year. I also pay for insurance, gas and maintenance on my car, which is about $3000 a year. Also pay for health and dental insurance, which is about another $1500 a year. But still have a shit ton left over after that.
>>26577863
I buy my own groceries, cook, and eat out. 300 a week is more accurate.
>>26578276
Jesus fuck anon get back on the wagon.
>>26578517
I'm the guy that made the $300/month claim. I was being super conservative as well.
Back when it was just me and my wife, we'd spend 300-400$ per week on food. We'd shop at all fancy stores and buy whatever we thought looked tasty. Mind you, none of us are 400lb whales. My wife looked like a skeleton before having our kid. Now she looks just right, imo. Though, my grandma still tells her to eat a sandwich whenever she sees her.
It's three people in our household nowadays, one of them is a toddler. We spend 150-250/month on food. My wife is really savvy when it comes to shopping. She shops at Mexican and Chinese stores on top of the popular in this state hipster "healthy" markets.
I'm sure you could survive on 50$ a week if you're autistic and your special strength is eating Ramen Noodles.
>>26579636
Lived on part-time minimum wage for a year, could feed myself for ~$100/mo if I needed to.
Lots of pasta (you'll be /noenergy/ tho), practically no meat, only the 50c-70c canned goods, etc. I wasn't really legit poor, I just liked saving money. Took a few transcon trips, bought a few luxury items (shitty dirtbike, mediocre computer, etc), I just felt like there were more important things to spend 10 bucks on than a piece of chicken.
