Yup. my grandfather was probably making around $250,000 annually throughout most of his career, but he had a bunch of debt and vices that led him to fucking up his finances. <cite>Living-Legendx8 posted [p:965475788] in One-third ...

Arcanine2009 06/02/22 2:23:37 AM #5:	Considering the average home is like a million dollars in the most expensive cities in California like SJ and SF, I can see that 100k wouldn't be enough for mortgage. And then on top of that.. being in debt from borrowing for mortgage and school if you don't live with parents.. I can see that as an issue. Some people really are terrible with money and don't know how to save shit though.. --- Less is more.

LinkFanatic 06/02/22 2:30:01 AM #9:	Me and my two roommates are easily on the poverty line, but with $600 a month in EBT and my roommate getting disability each month, we generally get by just fine. Especially now that my brother is working. If we can make this work in a household of three, then anyone else should be able to do much better with a considerably higher amount of money imo --- "If men had to cut of their genitals to display faith to God this world would have turned Atheist eons ago." - Random user on the Politics board <cite>LinkFanatic posted [p:965475899] in One-third ...
