re: How much is "making good money"

I made about $21,000 last year and I lived comfortably on that. Paid my rent and did not want for food. I’d consider that pretty good money.

The world lies about what is a need. You don’t need a cellphone, tv, new clothes, name brand foods, tattoos, and junk.

Dude I could sell the thing today and buy a $200k home cash and be perfectly happy. No more note, no more cutting all that fricking grass, no more 4 air conditioners.

Happy wife, happy wife. total bullshite

Much more important than making oodles of money is learning to live within your means and making your money make money for you.

It takes discipline and denial of pleasures now in order to thrive later. Many people don’t have what it takes.

That’s why you see couples living in places like Seattle, and one is a butterfly rancher and the other massages wombats, they eat out all the time, rent an apt for $3000 a month, go to festivals and complain they can never get ahead


Or baws that go into debt living in a McMansion they can barely afford, driving brand new vehicles with $700 a month notes instead of a modest home and buying an older model vehicle for cash and saving for what they want

On my 3rd homie!

Enough to pay all your bills on half your take home.

Okay, boss

Depends on how much overhead you have. Mortgage, car notes, school loans, car insurance (teen drivers), homeowners insurance, life insurance, credit cards, federal taxes, state taxes, kids' tuition, educational loans etc. Even f you have a family income over $200k that shite disappears with a quickness.
