BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:$60K is like bare minimum needed to survive It’s true. If you’re not out in the farmland boonies and just in a suburb of a metro*, $60k is just about where you can start to breathe a little easier. It’s not a lot of money, but it’s usually the point where you can afford to build up a decent emergency fund (that will be completely wiped out in the first medical emergency you have because we live in hell). *excluding NYC and any city in CA

I’ve found the more I make, the less work I actually seem to do. Honestly, the hardest jobs I ever worked are still grunt-level retail and serving. Those are both hell on your mental well-being and body. Now I’m a corporate middle manager making a very competitive salary, and I sit in my robe at home knocking out my daily tasks in two hours and spend the rest of the day just kinda being on call if someone needs me. Usually I’m just on SA or playing games. Not complaining, but it’s still pretty hosed up.
