How much do you NEED to make?
When I buy things I usually just BUY them straight out, and don't finance. The exception is my house which I rent from a sweet older lady, but I am only here when school is out. So once I am back in school, I only NEED to make about $15 a day to stay on top of my payments, that is to say I can still be insured, still eat, still have my cell phone, and not take a dollar from the bank.
When I am in school it is great -- I bank a shitload and buy myself a toy at every break. I am curious what other people's costs of living are.

I need about $2,000 for my mortgage a month, about $1000 for home bills, about $1000 to eat, about $1000 going out and entertainment.
So thats about $167 a day without saving or paying any loans |

Breaking it down into a daily cost is interesting. Doesn't make it seem like such a big amount then, and you can equate it to signups.
Like you guys who need $20 per day - if you make one $35 signup per day, your expenses are covered *and* you've got nearly that amount over again to stick in the bank. |

no rent paying for me because I own the apartment, all other expenses (cell phone, gas, server, ISP,....) are 300 euros/month + some 700 euros/month for food, drinks & going out....so that's 30 euros a day

Its pretty hard to live a nice life these days if you have a family and kids on less than $100,000 a year. That's why you see so many households where both husband and wife work.
If you're single, you should be able to get by on $50K though that's not living very luxuriously either. Luxury time kicks in once you are in the solid 5 and 6 fig range per month.

Sure, if you buy every toy and go out to restaurants or clubs every night, $50k might not go far. But how many people do that? Seriously? Single people making $50k a year without equity or money in the bank are asking for trouble. That's outrageous, even in a major city. Do them a favor and setup an appointment with a money manager...

Wow. I get by on $900/mo. Not happily, mind you, but I do get by. When I get the odd job here and there, it helps a great deal, and much of that is spent to reduce the debts I have.

My minimum monthly budget these days is $4500+.
This includes business expenses though (server, domain renewal, etc.) It's the damn "extras" that kill me - my kid just wrecked my truck so that's $1000 for a deductible, the dogs gets sick - another $200, my car needs new tires - another $600. Crap like that adds up FAST. ![]() |

You can live pretty well here on $50k/year. I own an apartment building in a nice residential neighbor 20 minutes from the city and $500/month is the most I can get for the 2 bedroom ones. I have 3 houses but only 1 with a mortgage on it. I'm selling it now. Right now I need about $3k-$5k/month to keep everything paid. The utility bills skyrocket in the winter thanks to the gas company. After I sell the house it will drop to $1K-$2k/month and rents will cover that. Whatever I make on the net will be gravy from that point on. I'm not big on buying toys other than houses. Not having kids or a wife other than Peaches who is 800 miles away from me helps a lot.

We live in SoCal....expenses are around 5k per month, we have rent control, so that is fortunate or else we'd be paying arounnd 7K per month (for rent, auto, bills, insurance, etc)

$650 is probably the lowest I've seen for a one bedroom apartment in the valley, but it's not really a place you want to live in.

The downside is PA taxes you to death if you own your own business. Not a lot of job opportunities here that pay more than $8-$10/hour unless you have a degree AND experience. The weather isn't that great but if you like snow you're ok. We have about 3 months of summer and not even that this year. The roads here are terrible, pothole city. There's also a saying here that the shortest distance between 2 points is under construction. I've lived here for 36 years and I'm ready to move somewhere else but it really isn't a bad place to live. Hope that helps. |

A lot of you have been mentioning servers, domains, content, etc...
That stuff doesn't count. If you're even partially serious about Internet porn, you should be setting up a company (corporation) to handle all of your business based expenses. Separate business from personal life. Going in debt with your business for a year is usually no big deal. Going in debt with your personal life is a bit more of a problem.
