Goddamn... 32k isn't that much money? Glad I don't live in the northeast. I could buy a cheap ass 2 bedroom, 2 bath 40k house with that kind of money.
You make 45k B, correct? With 32k net?
You have built and sold how many respectable automotive projects so far? I'm lucky if I can even make it through my first project before some asswipe potentially busts through a stop sign and puts an end to my love affair with my car. I've had the car for two years - which have been the worst two years since I graduated. Job layoffs and the promise of "making a lot of money" always seem to fall through.
Welcome to the world of renting. Now you see why I didn't enjoy your comments about me barely being able to eat anything worthwhile for the past two years.
As of last week, I made slightly under 20k a year. Put my car payment, insurance, 2 credit cards, cable, rent, electric and all the other misc bills like food and gas on my tab... and you'll TRUELY see what it's like to barely scrape by. I have no idea how I managed to do so, I put 1200 a month into the bank - and put out 1100 a month in bills. The only reason I ever made it through was because I delivered and basically ate and filled my gas tank up off my tips.
Now that all those shit jobs are overwith, I'm back at the career I should have never left. I was told yesterday that I got a considerable raise. I know I'm up and beyond 20k a year, my guess is around 23k. (which is 12 an hour)... but I honestly have no idea, because I didn't bother to ask. We'll see tomorrow when I get my next check.
From your projects and what you've purchased and gone through in the two years I've been here you're doing better than scraping by. If anyone's been fucked over in the subject of money and jobs, I think one of these people has been me. Scraping by is having 5 bucks left in your bank account after all your bills have been sent out. Hell, for a while I couldn't even buy a book of stamps and have enough left to put anything in my stomach.
THAT is scraping by.
How much of your net income goes to bills, B? I know before I consolidated my credit card, computer payment and refinanced my car loan, I paid 1100 a month. Last I knew, I had dropped that down to 600 a month, which is now less than half of my total monthly income.
