How much $$$ do you need to live comfortable? Per month, per week, per year... what ever... What makes you comfortable?

bllott · 05-24-2004, 11:16 AM

100 000 000 000 /year

Scott McD · 05-24-2004, 11:16 AM

Alot more than i get just now...

okny · 05-24-2004, 11:16 AM

300k a year i will settle for.

nathan_f · 05-24-2004, 11:17 AM

right now, 2.5k a month is what i need to cover everything.. with just a little $ left over..

it's only going to go up from there...

count blingula · 05-24-2004, 11:17 AM

25k/ month will do for now

Lily · 05-24-2004, 11:18 AM

I really only need about $80,000 a year to be comfortable.

TexasGuy · 05-24-2004, 11:24 AM

Since I live at home: 1 000 (after tax) per month. I like to take university girls out on expensive dinners ... I should get myself an apartment so I can get to second base more often ... so maybe 3 000 dollars per month every thing included (which is about 6 000 before tax).

After tax, that's a nice figure

stocktrader23 · 05-24-2004, 11:31 AM

8k to 12k a month is my smallest comfort zone. 20k much better.

sake · 05-24-2004, 11:32 AM

5k a month.. net profit..

Im fine with 2k

Pornwolf · 05-24-2004, 11:37 AM

To be comforable you don't really need much. Realistically I think $80k will do.

Now on the other hand to be happy as well as comfortable I have estimated the cost to be around $342 million for me. I'm not happy right now. I will be smiling soon though.

pood · 05-24-2004, 11:38 AM

100k would be good

but right now, if i can get $200/week from webmastering, ill be happy ;)

jaYMan · 05-24-2004, 11:38 AM

I can't see ANYONE not being able to live very well off 80k a year!!!

What about you Headless?

FlyingIguana · 05-24-2004, 11:45 AM

hmmm, lets see.

36k after taxes canadian. give me a gixxer and some cubans and i'm happy.

TrafficWizard · 05-24-2004, 11:45 AM

$9000 / MO

{fusion} · 05-24-2004, 11:50 AM

9k to live comfortable? houses expensive there?

cayne · 05-24-2004, 11:50 AM

5-10k would be enough, for the moment.

JDog · 05-24-2004, 11:51 AM

I'd settle for the time being for $150K/yr!

jDoG

EviLGuY · 05-24-2004, 11:54 AM

Right now.. I only pay myself 4k a month, and I have no problems living on that.

I could actually cut it back a little actually. I live cheap.

cluck · 05-24-2004, 11:54 AM

Let me tell you a little story.

When I was waiting on court, my dad and attorney strongly suggested that I give up webmastering and get a day job. It'd be easier for me to get outta jail time if I had a real job. So I got one at A&P. A shitty $200/week job, the fools said I was better off. I worked there for several months and went completely broke. As soon as I quit that shit job I realized that I couldn't comfortably live on at least that much every day.

SleazyDream · 05-24-2004, 12:04 PM

i can live comfortable on a little or a lot - i just adjust my spending inaccordance with what i have.

it's not smart to go into debt for personal things, even when poor- and if you have money it's foolish not to spend some of it and enjoy it now cause you may die tomorrow and you ain't taking the money with you. I'm not saying don't save for tomorrow - but you also have to live for today - it's about balance.

Daymare · 05-24-2004, 12:06 PM

I would be comfortable with 2 million invested in various things; real estate, mutual funds and GIC's.

Interest would make me > $100,000 a year on average (5%). So that's all I would need

Reak · 05-24-2004, 12:07 PM

I'm happy with the ammount i make now.

Fucksakes · 05-24-2004, 12:08 PM

its never enough, the more you make the more you raise your life style to what you make. id say 10-20k is plenty.

Trixie Racer · 05-24-2004, 12:10 PM

My Lexus is completely paid and my mortgage is only $850/month. I could survive on $20,000/year. I make significantly more than that and am VERY comfortable.

Dugmor · 05-24-2004, 12:14 PM

Traveling expenses, Airplane tickets, Gas, Car expenses, Food, hookers and Webmaster Conventions I would say an average of $1k usd a day.

Somedays I can spend less ............ somedays I can spend more. There are days I do not spend anything, but then an airplane flight or a night a strip club can mess everything up !

Dude if you have 2 million to invest your investment advisor BETTER be getting you at least 10-12% minimum. With no risk!!!

DH

GTS Mark · 05-24-2004, 12:19 PM

I really don't spend much money at all anymore.

Maybe $50 a week for lunches and coffee at Tim Hortons. $40 for gas, $20 for movies from Blockbuster. Maybe $50 on beers at the nearby pub. Of course I still have my company and employee expenses but personally I don't spend a ton of money anymore.

Most of the money I spend nowadays is on acquiring assets like real estate and such... I make a damn fine living but I don't try and live beyond my means. I always have a good laugh when I read about all the porn guys that need 20k a month to survive. Fuck man join the rest of the world in a place called reality.

You should get a discover cash back card. That way you can get blockbuster cards for free.

Furious_Male · 05-24-2004, 12:32 PM

192k Gross is where I would be truly comfortable (something I haven't hit yet). I tend to live a bit out of my comfort zone to keep me motivated.

Doctor Dre · 05-24-2004, 12:33 PM

Depends ... Life cost less here then in the states . 5k a month makes a really good living . But for extra expenses more is always better :P

HAPPYPEEKERS · 05-24-2004, 12:34 PM

Around 5 - 6 grand a month is nice for us :-))

ALWAYS HOPING TO RAISE IT THOUGH hehe

stephanie m. · 05-24-2004, 12:34 PM

I cannot live on less than 2.5 K a month. I need 5k to be comfortable. (USD)

I hurt my knee and will be taking the next 3-4 weeks off work.

However, you should really give OG a chance. You and I met at AVN briefly and I have photos online. Look at me. Then consider that OG turned me away the first 6 times I applied (based on looks). They are THAT picky which is why only the hottest girls work there.

Sly_RJ · 05-24-2004, 12:44 PM

I have no idea. Most of my income is reinvested into something or other. Though I've finally decided that I'm going to start saving so I can put a decent down payment on a house. In

I could live fine on $1k monthly, wouldn't be very happy though.

ZoiNk · 05-24-2004, 12:46 PM

$2000 a month and I am comfortable. All my bills and needs are met with that amount. Anything more and it goes to buy really big toys I don't really need

ZoiNk

05-24-2004, 12:48 PM

Im trying to aim for 300k/year
