That's what my wife makes. She couldn't pay our bills/house/car note with her check alone.

You should get married and have kids as soon as possible so you pay less taxes.

a 22-23 year old with no kids or wife making 55k a year is the equivalent of living in a box?
You mean if he has no social life, an 8 year old car, and a crappy apartment?
In that case sure. I guess that's comfortable to some people.

It's very easy to live comfortably on $55K right out of college.
Posted on 4/16/14 at 9:47 pm to LSUTiger23
If you're not a moron and you have no kids, you'll live very comfortably.

You are a fricking idiot. If he is living in BR like his profile says, 55k a year is plenty enough for a 22 year old.
If that isnt enough, what amount do you think a college graduate with no kids needs to live comfortably?

I made 2250 take home right out of college per month and was fine
I had an apartment at 750 and no car payment though

Is it really? I'm not doubting you, I'm truly curious. That seems insanely low for a four year degree. I thought it would have been closer to a 75-80k a year average.

Know how I know you're 11?

My father was able to support a family of 4 between 30 - 40K a year and we lived comfortably without any money problems. Never got any kind of government support or anything. These dumbasses on here saying otherwise act like they know what they are talking about but don't and likely will never make anywhere near 55K. You should have no problem living comfortable with that figure, starting nonetheless.

That is good money for a first job. I think know I made 28k and thought I was balling in high cotton. Lolz.

You serious Clark? 55k for a young single guy is enough to live fairly well just about anywhere in the country.
I assume you're about 15 and think you'll graduate making 100k. That might happen for 1% of grads.
