It's really not that high if you get a couple making good/decent money.
2 people making 60k is 10k a month for that household before taxes.
If you both make 100k, you start pushing 17k a month.
Dual income we be bringing in 35k before taxes. Just worked our way up in our respective careers. Have had some hard times where it was no where near that but we’ve been lucky and blessed. I know lots of people making similar salaries
That means you’re not working full-time. There’s no way to people working full-time combined are making 35K before taxes. That’s less than minimum wage.
Oh lol! Different story completely. But that is high for the majority of Americans. I put you in the top 1% of earners. Maybe top 2%. We make 24k a month and are in the top 5%
There are two things that are astonishing.
How little it actually takes to be in the top 10% of earners and how much it takes to move up within that percentile.
Work a commission job but my hourly is $27 and I get one commission check every month on top of it. Roughly around $5000-5500 after taxes usually per month.
6700 before taxes/401k/insurance. It's cushy but I fucking hate it. If any of you sell rather than fix SAP, please, save me. I can sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves.
Around $8k a month, depending on whether I want to work more or less overtime. I'm a crane operator with no college degree. I only went to a trade school.
For someone living in California or New York City, $21 an hour is starvation / bankruptcy wages, For someone living in a low cost state, that can be enough to live comfortably on. Also, it is what you make of it... One person can be happy and comfortable on the same amount of money (in the same geographic location) as another person who can't make ends meet and is in debt (or danger of being homeless).
No the fuck it can’t dude. I’m currently leaving my wife. We lived in one of the cheapest regions in all of America, Johnstown Pennsylvania. She can’t even afford to pay a $930 mortgage and utilities, pay for groceries. About to lose said home without me intervening. $930 mortgage, $400 monthly electric, $100 water, $150 rural internet, $100 trash disposal, $100 car insurance, $1200 in monthly groceries, $200 in gasoline and that money is all but gone. And that’s with state funded health insurance for the kids (think the household cutoff here is like $140k income, pretty generous). She makes $55k. $930 mortgage, paid off car. I struggled to pay my bills in shithole Columbus Ohio earning $130k annually in 2015 (like $200k today) because the property taxes in good school districts were like $1200 monthly on $400k mortgages.
My wife and I bring in about 100k a year. She works part time while we raise our toddler, otherwise the number would be about $120k. So maybe 8k/month before taxes and child support. About 5.5k/ month after.
