Welcome to America Latina

That could be 6 McDonalds double cheesburgers per day. :winkwink:

This one actually made me laugh. Are you getting a sense of humor Adam ?

They are £1.29 here, so i'd only get 3½/day for that. Pretty sure I wouldn't be able to eat another one EVER after less than a week of just cheeseburgers though.

yes

i even thought about promoting your sites.

he he

If you have no debt other than your house, it is really easy to live on >3k a month (depending on location). My family can survive on 2k a month. Of course thats no savings, going out, vacations ect.

True dat.

I can get by on roughly $2500.00 a month. That includes mortgage (4BR/2BATH), truck, seadoo, student loans, food, all utilities, insurance, minimal entertainment (movies/dining out once a week).

2 people, $6k a month.

Having no health insurance + a chronic disease eats up a chunk of that.

200 a month for food?
shit i can eat 200 in like 4 days of just groceries

I'm spending more on that in food tonight when I take the girl out...

I guess it's pretty expensive to live in the US...

Are you saying most of us still use old beige computer cases?

New York-fucking-CITY people. NEW YORK CITY.

$4k a month, minimum.

Love having no overhead. Internet $100, association fees $50, power $60, cell phone $20... Groceries we usually spend around $150-200/week on, depending what I'm cooking... that could go down if needed.

Your sites suck and all the chicks are extremely ugly DVTimes.

what could you live on or what kind of money do you need to make you happy?

minimum 4.5k

Good lord, we have school loan payments larger than some peoples total living costs each month. Not sure which end of sad that's on....

There's nothing sad about living debt free. :2 cents:

I smell some jealousy & envy here. :D

wow :winkwink::pimp

yeah, same :)

After reading some of these numbers I need to get the fuck out of the DC area.

...oh and cell phones...

Our cell phone bill is $230 a month for two phones.

Where the fuck are people getting cell phones for $20/mo.?

This thread makes me feel like a slave to the dollar. I'm doing something wrong.

had a job offer there and turned it down as Real Estate or even an apartment there is crazy.

for me after taxes can scrape by on $1600-$2000 but $2500+ is better

Around $2,500. No car payment sure helps.

India
 

Maybe to move to India, I think dollar there means much more.

Our School loans aren't debt, they're investments of a different type. Unless you want to count stocks, bonds, etc as a debt because you don't have the money.. outside of killer interest rates, it's an ongoing investment that is paying off very well and growing.

Let's be a little realistic too.. the total cost of living for many of those that are debt free in this post is lower than our monthly food bill, which kinda explains why they're able to live the life style they do.

I think school loans are the biggest crappiest thing ever, people are usually so young when they get into these things and don't know any better. :(

The Banks and Fed print the money out of thin air, then you have to slave your ass off to pay it back. Fuck them!! haha

Sorry, my girlfriend gets calls every day. Bastard Lizard people I tell ya!

School loans are debt just like a mortgage is. Although both are typically considered "good debt" as opposed to "bad debt" like credit cards or medical bills. Good debt has a purpose and hopefully a gain at the end.

How exactly are stocks and bonds a debt? Debt is when you owe money. What debt do stock and bond holders have?

Your student loans are not Debt?
what?

I took it to mean bare minimum, like how long could you coast on $x amount if you had to.

I do take living debt-free with minimum monthly recurring overhead very seriously however. The lifestyle isn't for everyone obviously but I still believe it's superior.

interesting read.
2 adults, 1 kid and a dog.
need about 4K a month on bills and food.
the rest is about 2K, so 6K in total does the trick.

No shame in my game, no basement but the back room.... I say $300

No mortgage, no car loans, no cc debt here but worked hard to get to that point.

I prob could live on 2k/mo. Honestly I have no idea I just spend little as possible but def not afraid to heavily reinvest in my business.

Oh and no student loans as I didn't go to college.

If you're going to college without a purpose it's dumb... depending on you're loans are done, you can have it put in your bank account, as well as you use services, time, teachers, etc.. it can't be free.

Your GF should be responsible and pay up..

I can easy live with 2500$-3000$ all taxes/fees/rates included.

P.S.: Is there any webmaster from Vienna or Bratislava? I will visit those 2 cities the next weekend and i want to drink a beer with you guys.

Yes, I understand on the books it's a debt... you owe someone money.

However, that's not how I look at it. If overtime I invest $100k out of my pocket into stocks/bonds, etc... overtime I expect a return - but it might not. I see that no differently than borrowing $100k, slowly paying it back (like building my investment) until one day it's making money for us monthly (which still requires investment), much like a dividend would - even if my overall investment hasn't made it's return yet.

School loans are investments for life... if people do nothing with their life, I guess it's a debt for people then.

few k per month

way too much :)
