A mate of mine earns a comfortable £55k. I asked over a pint why he also has a weekend job.

@Michael1227 It is here in the East Midlands

@Locke OK that's fairly good money in your neck of the woods. Problem is he's going to want to bin her some time so it'll just cost him more money in the long term.

What age is the guy?

@Michael1227 its very comfortable everywhere
People need to budget

@JonUK41 He’s 42 I think. And no he isn’t going to. He’s found a solution that works for him while still meeting his obligations. I couldn’t do it but it works for him.

@rocknroll you think 55k a year is liveable everywhere? Are you special needs?

@Michael1227 you mean retarted no
And i know it is very livable
Easily able to live on that
I make 40,000 and thsts more than enough

@Michael1227 you can get something for 2000 monthly anywhere in the usa
If you cant live on over 27 per hour the problem is you not the rent

@rocknroll also get a roomate and elimate debt

@rocknroll are you American?
Absolutely clueless about anywhere else in the world but where you are 🤣

@Michael1227 common sense and not wasting money applies to everywhere
40,000 a year is more than enough
But people go out to eat and waste money

@rocknroll you’re actually clueless.

@Michael1227 not at all
Its called manage your money and that is a lot of money kid

@rocknroll 40k a year is below min wage here, it’s not a lot of money, and that’s ok. But the cost of living is different everywhere.
You wouldn’t even be able to drive a car in Singapore on that.
I’m guessing you’re American, so we can just leave this here, but maybe try thinking about how other countries are different.

@Michael1227 again manage your money
You can live on minium wage
Dont go out to eat
Dont buy a new car or take out loans
Pay cash only
I understand countries are different but money management is not different

@Michael1227 and you can easily drive a car
Pay cash and buy used

@Michael1227 learn money management
It doesn't matter where you are

@rocknroll to drive a car in Singapore you need to buy the license to drive it, 50-80k. I understand you’re not very educated and that’s ok!and probably why you only make 40k But different places in the world have different levels of living expenses. Best of luck out there!

@Michael1227 again kid buy used my car is 20 years old
You waste money and go out to eat and drink
I can easily live on 40 k yearly anywhere in the world
Its not what you make its how you use it and spend it
Sell the new car and get a beater, pay off your debt

@rocknroll I think you'd need to understand not everyone wants to live on the cheap.

If it works for you and you're not able to earn any more that's fine. Some of us choose a different life.

@rocknroll Not comfortable at all where I am at.

@JonUK41 and thats why people cant live on a great wage

@Like2play yes it is, doesnt matter where you are

@rocknroll wrong. It is that simple. Not with a wife and kids. You will not have a cor or even come close to owning a house.

@Like2play you do not need to own a house
A house is a want
40,000 yearly is plenty
