20/month for dry cleaning means there's two outfits cleaned and pressed each week.


This doesn't add up.

With the shite he's been saying, it seems more realistic that he graduated high school later rather than being on track to graduate college early.


He's probably just full of shite either way.

So what do you currently make now is the question?


I honestly can't understand how that's relevant, but, the last two years, after taxes, I cleared roughly 125k per year. This year I'm on course for about 145k.

There is so much dumb in this thread.

If you can't live like a baller at 22 with 55k a year than you have some serious issues.

Graduating next month, and will be making around 55,000 starting right out of school. Anybody been in this situation and would care to share how they did coming out of school?


Are you saying you should make six figures? WTF planet are college grads living on today? You're starting out above average on income and worried? No wonder this country is fricked.

Either this board is full of kids not yet in the real world, or stuck up shite heads who got Daddy's inheritance.

Oh and fwiw, that is very very good money right out of college.

I am figuring I will make this once I graduate. Perhaps a little more. But anyway, I did some math and even saving a good bit, I'll definitely get by fine.

Perfect. You are a joke dude. You have no idea what you are talking about if you think the average starting salary for a college grad is over $70k.

I'm 31 and make about 50K and my wife makes about 32K. We have two kids. I'm comfortable. Just be smart with your money and you'll be fine.

Wow, that's kind of depressing. I'm happy for everyone with degrees that do well, but that still seems low.


Now I see what's going on. This was all a troll towards a subtle brag. Well done.

At 22 I was a GTA making 750.00 a month. Now I am married with 3 kids with the wife and I bringing home 120k combined.

I had more disposable income when I was 22.

So you were a semester from graduating college at 20 years old?


Almost 21. I turned 17 a month before I began college.

Thanks, you are certainly a Sho Nuff dumbass yourself.

You didnt know what college degrees usually get you when you finish?


Yes, I know SOME degrees earn you that money. I thought the higher was average. I didn't do much research in 05-08 on other professions incomes. Just the one I was interested in. I haven't actually looked at figures in almost 6 years.

If you are a confident guy, rent a ghetto apartment. My brother does this, and he lives like a millionaire. His car is paid off and he spends so little on rent, that he literally can't spend all of his money. He is the most compulsive spender I know, and he puts away tons a month into savings.
