Making 54K a year salary and living almost paycheck to paycheck with savings never going above 3K
Rent is one of the cheapest places in the entire place I can find
$30 phone plan
with insurance on car, student loan payments
Take home pay is like 32K after taxes
Expenses every month is just to live is like $1800
The rest of the money “life” takes away. Shit happening, bullshit liberal fees , registrations, insurances, Student loans, and on and on and on ,
At 54K salary , forget about owning a home
Thats the state this miserable country is
The only way ahead is more money, or marrying another wage slave and then playing the rat race game that everyone else is playing
Fuck your system
And no matter how hard I work , i’ll get this 54k , and I’ll still be paycheck to paycheck
That’s why this country is breaking the fuck apart
So while you may not be dealing with this delimma directly, you’re going to be dealing with a NON EXISTANT COUNTRY collapsing before your eyes because there’s no longer any incentive.
$54K today is equal to $32K 4 years ago when inflation is factored in.
Can’t afford a down payment cuz always paycheck to paycheck.
Can’t get a house so always renting.
It’s fucking pissening.
Past 6 years alone already payed like 70K in rent , that’s like half a shit mortgage.
But that’s the system , degenerate system we are living in.
This is bad bro
TBH I can get a higher paying job I can get to 80-100K , my main gripe is the slave lifestyle of 9-5 , getting more money won’t help me with that, just allow me to get a box that I own instead of renting
But the state of this country as a whole, 54K is honestly equal to, or more than what the average person is getting paid anywher you see on the streets like shopping malls, stores, grocery stores, basic society shit
ANd basic society right now cannot , while working full time, live a decent life anymore
And that’s PISS!!
