Topic: How much money do you have left from your job? - page 29. (Read 12551 times)

It seems that you are making a lot of money from your job than mine.  I only making like $3500 a year and it seems like I am contented to that before.  Then like you I realize that I work very hard but still was not able to live a comfortable life.  I work hard but my salary seems like not suitable for my efforts.  I resigned and then after that I realized that I made a right decision.  I know now where to go and have goals in life right now.

The problem of salary growth not keeping up with living expenses is a universal one.
It doesn't matter how much you earn and it doesn't matter where you live. 

I see a lot of people here thinking that in "USA" everybody makes a lot more money and it is untrue.. Most european countries have higher average earnings per person than us and the oil rich middle eastern countries too..

Where I live is a poorer rural area, lot of white trash in trailers..

But think, a shit trailer house is $500-$700 a month rent, Apartments are like $700-$1200 a month for average lower class..

Electricity is $140 a month, Internet is $60, car insurnce about $100 a month average I'd say for a $5,000 car and its the law, cell phones are $50 a month and I have 3 in my family, food is not cheap, you can hardly eat for less than $5 per meal per person so a 4 person family @ 3 meals a day your going to spend $1,000 a month in food easy..

I own my place so don't pay rent or a payment because it's paid but still its $1,200 a year just in taxes on it alone and it's only worth $20k tops..

It's not like were living the dream just because we live in the USA, times are tough here..

I spent a few months working in Detroit this summer, their are more abandoned falling in half burnt windows broken houses and buildings than you can imagine, thousands and thousands of em.. You can almost get these properties for free because it costs more to tear the shit down than the lot would be worth.. It costs $5k to tear a house down and dispose of it but then you have an empty lot that is worth like $200.. They sell houses there for $500 just to try to get someone paying taxes on the thing.. But taxes are HIGH there because FUCKING LIBERALS making you pay all that welfare to everyone else.. That's Detroit..

Even if you are from China or Russia you have heard about Detroit haven't you?

Damn, and i'm always complaining about my salary .
My salary it's not always fixed, and i get somewhere around 1500-2000$ after taxes, depending on bonus or extra work i do, and i work on an outsourcing system, knowing that the client its paying around double that what i won before taxes. 
After paying rent, electricity, water and all those fixes expenses, since i'm dividing it with my girl. I get with around 500-700$ per month, that now days goes to spend with my new born child .

Ps: i live in Portugal

What? How? That's pretty good money..

I live in USA but where I live $30k a year isn't too shabby.. Pretty much you make $10k a year here or your dirt poor..

GF makes about $15k managing a store and I prolly make about the same but I'm self employed and work from home..

Very sad to see this. you must have one of the worst countries in the world considering GDP per Capita. Also this question does not prove richness since one person may make much money and spend much money.

I agree of what you saying ,I actually experience that,as if your with that side of politician then you have the chance to have a job.Here in our country even employment are controlled by politicians.You have the ability and competence but still within the approval of a politician.

When in terms of money left in a salary for me nothings left unfortunately the income are fit only for daily needs.I manage to budget the money for food and that of immediate needs.Maybe find another source of income to cater my wants and needs and most of all you can have money left on your purse.

I dont have actually any full time job so when i get partime job here and there i dont have to pay tax because its very less.
I am still pretty much dependent on my dad's salary.

Its quite an eye opener to se ethe amount of variation in wages from around the world, Russia seems to be quite low wages compared to most. I probably have about $7000 spare cash a year but it generally gets spent and not saved since i have quite expensive hobbies. Im not sure if that actually makes me better off than others that have posted though since the cost of living is probably much higher where im from.

I don`t have a job,so i can`t tell you.

When you move to the west,your salary might be bigger,but the prices are way higher.

Where in the former USSR do you live?

I want to share mine also, I am earning more or less $6,000 dollars per year and that is before the basic expenses like food, rent, and transportation. That is net of tax because I have an agreement with my employer that they will shoulder my taxes.

For me, that is not really a big amount that is why I am having an interest in working online to increase my earnings as I have a family already and my expenses is really high that if I really on my day job I cannot live with it.

Ha, 5 people respond and you think their responses apply to everyone!?

You should offer a poll that'll give you a better spread of income across more people. It's tough for someone to admit to how much income they earn, which can then be linked to their user ID and potentially to their identity.

One thing I've learned from asking questions like yours is that there are a surprising number of people on this site that come from countries outside the main economic powerhouse countries (i.e., England, EU, US, Canada, Japan, China). I wonder if the ease of access to bitcoin or the easy of access to bitcoin on this site via signature campaigns has been a great attraction for those living in lower earning countries, lower salary countries.

Any thoughts on this?

I'm not going to depart from my job. although I am very wealthy. the job is something that can guarantee our lives for the better. work is very important.

The question is very familiar and sounds irritating but its the truth that haunts me since i started a family. How much money do I have left from my job, i guess its not a suitable question to me, the question to me should be " do you have money left from your salary". Its sound funny but there are no more money left from my salary. It is not enough and I fall short but thanks to bitcoin I am earning to cater my financial shortage.

Those thing about your country is happening at mine as well teatchers has no job, even when the school needs them, because politician wanna the votes and will just help who will vote at them, soo without knwoledge here you will find no job.

In my country, there is not much job and half people are far away from nativeland. People there has 70-300$, you can't start working with your education and skills, if you want to work as an  office-cleaner, than you need to know english and must be studied in university, that's very silly and if you want good job with high paying, than you need good and  influential relative, that situation is in my country. People here don't want to help each other, everyone cares about theirself.

I earn around $1,000 a month from my salary and sometimes my expenses are higher than that because our rent is expensive and also the expenses for food and transportation so basically I am zero balance or if I'm lucky just a small amount of about $100 at the end of the month  .

 I am planning of transferring to another job with higher pay so that I can save and invest.

I do not  want to talk much about my job and how much I have earned but I think that is is enough to survive with.
I am able to buy food if I want so I do not have any troubles.

I earn around $650 a month and I am also from an Asian country. I would still consider myself lucky to earn that amount, plus the little that I earn from bitcoin also helps in paying for other stuff. Much of my salary goes to apartment rental, food, transportation allowance, baby needs, and of course, savings.
