>be recent college graduate >make 75k/year, after taxes/rent/bills/grocery I have maybe 2.5k left over >live pretty frugally, don't go out to eat that much, cook a lot of my meals, make my own coffee, live in the suburbs (1.2k rent for a solo apartment), budget appropriately and hold off on buying shit if it breaks my budget. Right now at 1.3k left over due to buying some language learning services and a new laptop >still feel like I'm barely getting by, can't afford to buy all the nice things I need unless I dip into my savings
How the fuck do people who get paid less live a decent life? I feel like I barely make enough to have a comfortable existence, anyless and my quality in life would make me seriously depressed. I don't even live in an expensive city either (Houston), how do people in bigger, more expensive cities do it?
Shut the fuck up pussy commie. None of you niggers do anything to the rich jew families that hurts their wallets anyways.
Dear OP I make less than you and my rent is just under 1200 as well. I’m investing and doing just fine as a single lad. You’re blowing your god damned money somewhere so maybe grow up and look at your spending habits and see where you’re going wrong...
Caleb Morris
I mean I get takeout 2, maybe 3 times a week and sometimes like to go to the museum or visit my friend in another city. Don't feel like going full autism just to save $200 more, still want to enjoy my youth and life in general
agreed fren, the current system is untenable

Imagine being a communist and calling /other/ people bootlickers
>the only way not to be a bootlicker according to you people is to surrender all your property and give communists complete control over your life, including what you can say or believe. That's a yikes from me dawg
I bet you don't even know what communism is >anime profile picture cringe
Jayden Adams
That's their strategy for some reason. Just makes them look more retarded to everybody outside of their circlejerks.

nigger I make 1/3 of what you make and I have double your yearly salary. It all depends on what you do with it.
Parker Howard
Retards lmao I didn't even say anything about communism but your mind is so cucked by neocons your immediate thought is communism because your sub115 IQ faggots

Certainly you must be buying a ton of shit. New car? Student loans?
Cameron James
post proof or larp
no student loans paid off car only because I have upper middle class parents, I'm very privileged
Brayden Gomez
Calling people "bootlicker" like that is a shibboleth. By that alone, the odds are good he's a communist, or at least some variety of leftist that hates capitalist. The phrase "late stage capitalism" itself is a communist idea.
Josiah Sanchez
3 times a week? What is that $60? So $240 a month. Jesus
Colton Jackson
Bullshit. You spend like a retard somewhere. I’m putting lots of money into investment and have been saving this year something is wrong on your end or you are lying about how much you make. You’re a subhuman faggot who is subservient to kike industry and you want to be controlled from cradle to grave by a powerful and multi layered centralized government hell. But hey keep licking brown dick while you’re down there groveling to the jews for your chance at being party uniform designer #2645...
James Campbell
its true, im basically a commie myself and thats the vernacular
Tyler Brown
Because 75k is nothing these days. Less than 100k a year is poverty in any decent sized city unless you are a 22 year old zoomer with no responsibilities.
Ryder Powell
>keynesian monetary policy implemented by a private bank you have no representation in >capitalism nope
Blake Robinson
Im a commie and own it. this guy is ashamed. guys worst part of the left. i just think we fucked either way and leftism will slow shit down. i realize the utopia is batshit. i just think capitalism will kill us faster
Asher Carter
nope, once or twice a week I go to chipotle/chickfila because I run out of leftovers. On Friday or Saturday I like to check out a local restaurant but those restaurants aren't expensive
so basically like $30 a weekish unless I go to a more expensive restaurant
I haven't started investing since I just got my job and the economy is going to crash soon. If you're believeing the USA covid numbers you are a huge brainlet beyond saving, shit is more fucked than you think also >kike >brown dick >muh big government yeah, huge Zig Forumstard detected, opinion disregarded from here on after
I'm literally a 22 year old zoomer with no responsibilities. If 75k is nothing, then how come it's above average? Why aren't wages going up so people aren't living in abject poverty?

>make 40k/year >save about ~500 every month
I have an irrelevant meme degree and was a NEET for 3 years so my very mediocre job is more money than I've ever had. I've been applying for better jobs too but covid has kind of screwed that up. 75k would be enough for me to save 20k a year lmao
Adrian Foster
> How the fuck do people who get paid less live a decent life? This seems like a perspective issue. If you grew up in a home where your mom didn't work and your dad had a simple 50k/yr job, you would get accustomed to a simpler/cheaper lifestyle than a kid whose parents both worked and made 200k+.
FWIW my numbers out of school were almost identical to yours so I get where you're coming from. My first apartment was also 1.2k/mo in the suburbs but I also didn't have much of a social life so saving a few thousand every month built up quickly. It starts to snowball once you get into compounding interest.
commies also the only ones against israel. for some reason, conservatives think muslims are worse than (((them)))
Henry Cook
Stay poor and die in debt. You grew up upper middle class but your parents failed you on preparing you to have the same success. You’re like my ex, makes me think you might be a bitch in fact as well. Women are terrible with money and never look at their finances in depth to figure out how to save their own skin when in deep.
Anyone believing in COVID is a retard that deserves to die from it as rare as that is. Ex was a nurse and the people being wiped out from it are old people in hospitals and nursing homes because NIGGER CNA’s get it and spread it around without giving a fuck. There’s also the fact they DONT test like they’re supposed to and many, including my ex’s last job wanted her to come back after three days from testing positive because they were short staffed.
COVID is a way to test how far they can control people without push back, and slaves like you deserve to be controlled.

75k is below the median in most major cities. To be affluent these days you need to be making 300-500k.
Easton Richardson
>1.2k rent for a solo apartment Is there seriously no better option? I live in a decent Milwaukee Suburb between the river and lake michigan, a mile from downtown. My GF and I rent the top floor from a friend of mine for a total of $600/mo all utilities included.
I make 95k/year and put 20% towards my 401k and still have plenty to actively invest. Granted paying 300/mo is a lot better than 1200/mo, but still.
I think you could make an effort to live more frugally, and paying 20%+ of your take home pay for rent is a lot. Get some roommates?
Cooper Martin
We're still in early stage communism. Capitalism hasn't existed since the federal reserve was created
Jace Miller
>2.5k left over per year? literally how? 75k ~> 55k (estimate) after taxes or 4,600/month, then conservatively: 1,200 rent, 500 food, 300 utilities/internet, 200 insurance, 150 gym, 200 car, 500 random entertainment, you have 1500 a month left over not counting investments. unless you meant you have 2.5k left over a month, then I don't know why you're complaining
Gavin Foster
Dude, I make half of what you do and I save at least $5k each year. Stop overpaying for rent, pay off the damn car, and save.
Brayden Barnes
No wonder. You're a retarded commie in a liberal city
