elixed Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) At the moment, my income is about €2500-3500 nett, with my full time job and side jobs(this depends on the nett amount). I live in the Netherlands. The average is about €2000 nett here(monthly). Right now I'm happy with the money I make but it can always be better. Hopefully within the next years I will be making at least 4000 nett a month. Edited June 23, 2015 by elixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dem 0s and 1s shall make us bank Yea average where I live is around 60k usd salary (5k/ month).

zanezatelo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Man I'm not even living on my own and I have no idea on what I want to do, you guys all are settled down o.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stixx Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 BIlls I pay: $400/month - car $250/month - car insurance $50/month - phone So that's $700, and only bills I have to pay. If I move out, I'll need to pay $500-700/month for rent, assuming I'm living with someone. I currently only make $1,600/month before taxes, so it's closer to like $1,200. I'm either going to need to find a 2nd job or get a raise in order to move out xd So based off of that, in California, if you have car + insurance + rent to pay, you'll probably be wanting to be making ~$3,000/month to be earning "good" money. But that's about half of the belief that $75,000/year is the maximum amount to be able to live happily. Minimum wage is $9 per hour in California so I assume you are just working part time right now? Shouldn't be too hard to add on a 2nd job with a night shift/whatever to get up to those 40 hours a week. Not sure what your current living conditions are but living on your own or with a roommate has been much better, for me, than living at home.

Not sure what your current living conditions are but living on your own or with a roommate has been much better, for me, than living at home. Working full-time @ $10/hour I commute 3 hours per day to get to & from work (hour & half each way), so hard to work 2nd job. I'm living with my parents & carpool with my step-dad, so I don't pay for gas / rent. I'm just waiting for my girlfriend to get out of school so she can get a job so we can move close to my work. At that point, I'll start going back to school so I can get a better job position at my work, hopefully. XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
