@fuckyouiquit @do0o0mer Just bc its median doesnt mean its ok to put yourself in that situation. Do better.

@do0o0mer Both of those numbers are median for the US. A $200 credit card payment is very normal. A button down for work is $40 for a new shitty brand. They’re $14 at goodwill. Shoes, pants, underwear, belts, socks, teeshirts…add up what you spend a year in that shit. Then divide by 12.

Here's the real math: A single person earning $70kyr takes home ~$4,500/mo after tax. A realistic budget: -$1,750 Rent -$600 Food -$125 Home goods/toiletries/OTC meds -$500 Transportation -$150 Car insurance -$200 Gas -$150 Maintenance -$200 Health insurance -$400 Student loans -$450 Utilities/phone -$200 Credit card payment -$50 Haircut -$125 Clothing -$5.45 for one latte a month -$8.95 for one avocado toast a month Assuming median pricing on all of these things, this person, a hermit, who only goes to work and back, has zero social life, no kids, no medical bills or medications, has perfect teeth never needing a root canal, no vacation or leisure time, no holidays or gift giving, doesn't ever buy furniture or cable/netflix, has an employer provided medical plan, thrifts all their clothing, had to go into debt to get an education to earn $70k a year, is still in the hole $414.40 a month. Do not take any financial advice from this person.

@JawnUnfiltered @HandsCovered @theficouple Its more like 4 maybe sometimes 6…. Trust me winters suck ass but its a huge city that pays well and you can still find deals on rent. Easier for me to say tho my family is all here

@TonyTheHomy @HandsCovered @theficouple Sir respectfully, I do not want to be miserable in freezing cold temps for 6 months of the year 😂

Here's the math: A single person earning $70,000/yr takes home ~$4,500/mo after tax. A realistic budget: -$1,200/mo: Rent -$400/mo: Food - $330/mo: Transportation - $280/mo Utilities/phone - $500/mo: Fun ...Living within their means lets them invest ~$1,600/mo.

@JawnUnfiltered @HandsCovered @theficouple Aye i know its easier said than done but man consider Chicago. Its an awesome city and you can definitely find good rent prices. Just talk to a realtor whos experienced with the city

@HandsCovered @TonyTheHomy @theficouple I don’t like the Midwest people just suggesting to move. Uprooting your life for cheaper rent is stupid. Also, what are the chances I get a similar job somewhere else

@TalkingtoaWall1 @theficouple Not bad at all. Im in Midway at the moment. Ill probably be out here for a few more years. Everything is like a 20 min drive but rent is tolerable out here

@TonyTheHomy @theficouple I paid $1200 at Western and Addison in 2020. Great spot, easy to get around on the brown line.

@HandsCovered @JawnUnfiltered @theficouple Brother you gotta leave! I know its easier for me to type that rather than do it but if i was born in NYC id be long gone. But i get it thats probably where your life and family are.

@TonyTheHomy @JawnUnfiltered @theficouple $2200 1bed room andi live next to the second most dangerous project in queens no one in my building speaks english or pays rent lol

@TalkingtoaWall1 @theficouple Dont get me wrong im not in my ideal neighborhood but its a sacrifice. I get to go out with my lady when we want and i dont get shot walking my dog or leaving for work early. But like i said im by no means in lincoln park or anywhere near lake Michigan.

@TonyTheHomy @theficouple I miss the diversity of housing options and prices in Chicago. I'm paying $1700 for the cheapest rent I can find around me. The price doesn't go down in the more rural areas.

@JawnUnfiltered @theficouple I live in Chicago. I pay $1150. And no im not in the ghetto. Im right next to midway airport but my apartment has double paned windows to keep noise down. Unless youre in NYC or cali (id move if im only making 80k) look harder and make sacrifices.

@theficouple Where are you getting rent for 1200? Iowa? Nebraska? Oklahoma? They paying 70k out there?

@WickyWickWhack @Note_to_sellf @theficouple They dont get it. Ppl hate the idea of a 30 min commute. But everyone wants on site maintenance and a view of the city then they cry despite no one making them sign a lease

@Note_to_sellf @theficouple Plenty of places. Just can’t live downtown or where you want. I have a family of 6 and we are at 200/week for groceries. If you’re by yourself and can’t get 100 you need to try harder.

@rroruman @theficouple Chicago. You just cant have an apartment on lake shore drive or in a gentrified neighborhood. That doesnt mean its in the ghetto.

@theficouple Clean math on paper. $1,600 a month invested at 22 makes you a millionaire by 40. The framework works. But $1,200 rent in what city. That number died in 2019 for anywhere this salary actually exists.

@MstrHardpoint @Only2Gen @GenAgrivator @BraedenSorbo @spoonfulofhan If you weren’t talking about abortion, then your whole ‘taking a life’ tangent didn’t even make sense. I just replied to the point you were implying. Women definitely hate you. Gaslighting and manipulative? Oof. Sucks to have no brain

If your argument against abortion includes religious reasons, you’ve already lost the argument. Religion doesn’t belong in the making of laws.

@kamepirate @zapatas_mom @The84Chambers @ninadelaflores Youre making it about the parents. Its about the child that is brought into this world. Yea fuck the parents for making a dumb decision but that doesn’t mean the kid should have to suffer bc you think its wrong. Have some sympathy jeez.

@TonyTheHomy @zapatas_mom @The84Chambers @ninadelaflores Mistake? If you go around having unprotected sex that's not a mistake, when you do that you're going in expecting to get a baby out of it. Either get two jobs to support the kid, get the dad to help, or if you don't have kids; wrap your shit

“The abortion is murder!” to “Why do I have to help you feed your kid? You shouldn’t have had them!” pipeline

@kamepirate @zapatas_mom @The84Chambers @ninadelaflores Youre talking about a child here. You are actually sick in the head. So youre gonna make a child go through a sad tough life bc of a mistake a girl made at 16? This isnt the same as a kid stealing from a store. This is a child. Ignorance must suck.

@TonyTheHomy @zapatas_mom @The84Chambers @ninadelaflores It's called being accountable. Sure you can do whatever you want but that doesn't mean you are free from consequences of those actions, that includes asking for handouts for stupid decisions you made. Use your brain dumbass

@zapatas_mom @The84Chambers @ninadelaflores People are allowed to do as they want. And if they mess up and get pregnant why is that your business if they want an abortion? Like honestly what in your head tells you that you can tell someone what they can and cant do. Sybau and mind ur own business. Dumb whore

@The84Chambers @ninadelaflores Shouldn’t pursue casual sex then

@The84Chambers @ninadelaflores Ppl are young and mess up. Abortions are not your business. Let ppl do what they want. How are you gonna tell someone what they can or cant do w their body? Youre so small minded its pathetic

@ninadelaflores The “I should’ve kept my whore legs closed” to “It’s your responsibility to take care of my child now” pipeline

@calicejackson @marsh_minnow @ninadelaflores @Malcolm_fleX48 you know thats not why dems are rejecting it. Dems are rejecting it bc they want a guarantee that subsidies for insurance are to be extended. Unless you want your insurance to go up x3. Educate yourself. Yall are so eaily manipulated. Republicans Know that. And take advantage

@marsh_minnow @ninadelaflores @Malcolm_fleX48 Healthcare for illegals at the expense of our homeless and our vets, that’s the Democrat way. It’s the RNC that put forth a bill to save SNAP and the dems have blocked it for illegals that we can’t afford to pay for. We don’t have unlimited $$ in the coffers

@DaSpaceWitch @TiaaSaunders @Likah_Marie And thats a mortgage! People dont weigh their options.

@TonyTheHomy @TiaaSaunders @Likah_Marie Right my mortgage ain’t even nowhere near $3000

Nobody can sit on here and try to convince me that $25/hr is enough.
