If we take out 7k of the gross $46,0000/yr for healthcare and retirement....

$5,700 for federal taxes, another k for state taxes...

That's about $2692 a month, net. Subtract the just over $2k a month listed, there's another $400 a month for.... Utilities, phone, transportation, entertainment, savings, emergencies.

Even as rent is under 25% of income, pretty tight. Doable. But very tighter. You will never retire saving $4000 a year. You can never get sick. You apparently walk to work.

Pretty much have to get a roommate until the student loans are paid off.

Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.
