Fook that's a lot of money. I was married with kids making $15/hr and we were fine. It's about getting good deals, having no debt, driving old cars you fix yourself, and not blowing money on frivalous crap like Starbucks, food delivery, and endless subscriptions to modern bullshit like media services. You kids waste so much these days expecting to be able to spend nickles and dimes everywhere (screw these new business models that bleed you dry with constant payments).
If you can't live on $50k/yr something is wrong with the choices you're making.
You old farts don't understand the mess of a world you left behind for next generations. You had everything, lived in a golden age, then fucked everything over, from the economy to ecology. And when faced with hard facts, you rather blame the generation that had exactly no input in the matter rather than look inwards.
You'd collapse faster than the wtc towers on 9/11 if you were in their situation.
Lol, did you not read their expenses?
23*40*52=47840/12=3986.66*(8/10)=3189.33Say taxes and such only 20%, likely more if they have any health insurance. 1850 out with rent & student loans.Take away the food 400. Leaves for electric (150), water (25), trash(10), car note(300), gas(150), maintenance (30), car insurance (180) Netflix(15) Internet (40) prepaid phone (20)Leaving $19.33, assuming I didn't miss any reasonable expenses. Good luck saving up for anything or cutting down expenses, maybe return to a the college diet of ramen til you can pay off the car, if not indefinitely. 1 unexpected expense away from disaster.
E: Fixed the number formatting, ty!

Drop the Netflix and hit the high seas mate.
10 dollars a month shouldn't break the budget of someone working full time.
Yah, that was my thinking, and chances are they can get Netflix and other services for free from friends/family. But if a trip through a drive through destroyed the budget, bigger issues.
