$45,000 is more money than most of the people in the world will ever earn and yet they seem to survive... Here in the UK the average wage is considered to be about £30,000 this is down to the big greedy pigs that pay them selves £1-200,000 py while many of the population earn far less than the 'inflated' average. Im sure the same is true in the States for your average figure. As for living on the corner of Crack house and Ghetto, you snob. Some people have no choice but to live there while others sit behind big fences with armed guards preying that no poor people try to rob them. The home of democracy? More like the home of porpers and pigs IMO...
1.) We not talking about living on 45,000, but about dropping that figure by 25% and then expecting a family to live on that wage.
2.) Jack called that a good wage for any family and anyone who says different is a cry baby.
3.) Angel Slayer says he makes less than 25,000 a year and he and his family do just fine. He never did say if that was his family's only income though...
4.) Pun says 45,000 is a barely liveable wage for th average sized family. I tend to agree with him.
5.) Jack replies that if you plan well you should not need 45,000 dollars a year to raise a family...
6.) Kaos diagrees with Pun and I and says folks in the UK do it on 30,000 pounds a year. I guess he forgot the conversion rate would make that 30 into 45 in the US.
So, what that re-cap I'd like to ask, do you think 30,000 is a good wage in whcih to expect a family to grow?
