Unpopular opinion: Beyond like $50,000 a year, money is pretty worthless.

[Yero91]

Lol @ 50k, that's poverty status bro and by bro i mean never my bro. GTFO if you're not making at least 500k a year.

[CopBrah]

I have to disagree op.

I started off at 18 on a base salary of 52k after tax as a constable and I have in the last 7 years worked my way up to just over 90k after tax as a sergeant. Doing my detective course next year to try to work my way to about 120k a year. And let me tell you nothing feels better then living comfortably knowing you can easily pay the bills and not have to be a tight ass when you go out.

I have brought myself a nice car and have my 500k mortgage down to 210k left got a nice car and a beautiful girlfriend. My life wouldn't be like this if I was only earning 50k a year.

I was 22 once, really it wasn't that long ago. OP didn't say, "Unpopular opinion: Beyond like $50,000 a year AT AGE 22, money is pretty worthless," he said, "Unpopular opinion: Beyond like $50,000 a year, money is pretty worthless."

don't forget to include lower grocery bills by eating the roaches and rats living with you.

really, because OP didn't qualify his statement with age or family status. If that's what OP meant, he should have specified that.

I'm not trying to go against your viewpoint as a 45 year old family man, but we're on the misc here. The average age is 18-25 and most miscers are forever alone. The fact that this was even said as "Unpopular opinion" is probably the confusing point, because if most miscers thought this was an unpopular opinion, then most miscers are materialistic as f*ck individuals who think a ferrari is the gateway to love. 20somethings making 50k net while single is a fantastic start to your adult life if you manage it right. If you find yourself broke while in this stage, you have spending issues or student debt.

Making 50k net and living in a $500 apartment with a family.

son...

(doesn't apply if you live in bumfuk nowhere of course)

I live in an extremely nice apartment, very close to little rock.

Then again, not many of you FA's on this forum have any clue what it's actually like living on your own, seeing as living at home with your parents past the age of 25 is perfectly acceptable according to most of you.

[Kraxses]

yeah but you cant buy a ballin house or have a ballin car or save a fukin penny. the fuk outta here you fukin poverty peasant.

da **** i need a big house for myself for?

[BabyDaddy91]

Oh, and age 45, you know there's a special Misc for your kind of people?

You were a cop at 18........wat

[CopBrah]

You can join the force here aslong as you have a vce pass which i got when i turned 18.

what country Canada?

[CopBrah]

what country Canada?

Australia.

[Kraxses]

Australia.

100k is not much in Aussie land its like 50k in america, brb mustang cost 100k over there.

[gatovolador]

Tell that to my $3k a month rent. ****ing San Francisco.

I agree, but the problem isn't how much money people have.

Minimalism is by far one of the happiest ways to live life.

For the record, I agree. But I'm probably gonna spend $800 on some wireless speaker rather than buy the $200 one because I'd prefer to have one thing that's very nice.

[aal04]

imo...
60k-200k = have everything you want minus house/car
200k-400k = have everything you want minus house (choose your car, settle for a good home)
1,000,000k+ = have everything you want. (choose your car, choose your house).

[biceppeak]

If you don't have a balling life at 50k a year you are doing something wrong or have kids/wife.

srs

some of you guys are retarded...wtf are you buying!?

Before my new job I was making 25k a year and went on vacations, travelled, did whatever the fukc I wanted to. I don't get the misc's hipsterism with money.

[Nicklol]

This. COL could make 50K feel like 25K. And if you have kids or a wife. Yeah 50K ain't chit

pretty dumb.. I consider toronto to be expensive, and it is.. the most expensive city in canada next to vancouver (i think)

brb 1000-1500 a month rent, 300-400 food, car 300, internet/phone 100


30k left over... WOAH, SO POVERTY!!

[LimitBreak]

I make 50K, single and certainly not living well at all in Cali, need 75K+ at least .. ! I can't afford a tiny house or financing a car worth more than 30K!!

So if you are single and planning on living month to month then yes.

[Nicklol]

ITT op justifies living life without aspirations.

50K is alot of money.. are u stupid?

how is that not having aspirations.. thats actually a goal salary for ppl...


and who says life is about money? if you live more than comfortable, thats every1s goal.

[Gayford]

yo udon;t even understand that there is levels to this ****.

[MrVeggie]

nope i need dat dere plastic surgery

Did you factor in TAXES ? car insurance? health insurance ? other expenses ? more expensive areas ?

[Darknightbegins]

Been living on my own for 3 years and never had '20-30%' random expenses, maybe 5-10. I'm assuming we're talking about 50k net. Either way, I'm more than comfortable

50K net means you are making probably 65-70.

[IgnoreDaHaterz]

lol at anyone making under 75k, I wont be happy till im at atleast 150k, which I will right after college

[Nicklol]

Did you factor in TAXES ? car insurance? health insurance ? other expenses ? more expensive areas ?

were considering the 50k is after taxes. atleast i was.

and the car $300 was car insurance and gas.

and the rent was for an average appartment in toronto. prolly 2k in a "fancy" area, which isnt much more.

[spacecowboy00]

it's all about how you manage your money and whether or not you live below/at/above your means. i know people who make 30-50K and have very good lives because they know money management and never live above what they can afford. i also know people who make six figures but are in crushing debt because they blow everything on alcohol, parties, cars, vacations etc etc

my only indulgence in life is travelling, and if i'm able to do that on 50K ( which you can pretty easily) i'd be happy. of course, having more money can be a good thing, but i would be fine without making 500K a year

No car payment ? health insurance payment (oh wait CANADA!!!) ! LIVING EXPENSES? food alone would cost $600 to $900 a month

[ratnacage]

Oh, and age 45, you know there's a special Misc for your kind of people?

WebMD Misc?

[Darknightbegins]

I have to disagree op.

lol a cop making 120K a year? Where the fuk do you live?

[spacecowboy00]

food alone would cost $600/month? you joking bro? wtf are you eating that it's costing you 600-1000 bucks?

you can easily skip a car payment by buying used with cash.

[Darknightbegins]

Probably the worst homo looking Avi I have yet seen on the Misc

[Stannis]

The cost is typically your schooling and connections you made.

I worked significantly harder when i made 40k vs what i make now

Interesting that you say that. Everyone I know that makes a high salary works their arses off.
