 Posted: Fri, 27th Aug 2010 09:52 Post subject: How much is enough ? |
|
 |
So with all the job threads lately , i'm curious for most of you , how much would be a good salary per month ?
I'm not talking some bullshit extravaganza like buying a 2 grand watch and not affect your income considerably , i'm thinking something decent : money for food , bills , gas , going out in the weekend , buy some clothes , and still having some to put away for some future investment (car , expensive eletronics , etc).

Dunno how it is in the other countries, but in Poland my dad earns just about 2000 dollars a month, my mom around 1100. This kind of money makes you wealthy in Poland considering the rest of the country. We have 2 cars, a large flat, a nice lot outside of tow, pretty expensive electronic equipment etc. So as I said, I dunno how it is where you live, but if you live alone than 2000 dollars a month seems to be even too much, lol.

Here in Cro higher than 1500€ if you have no credit debts to pay. And if you have no kids you could really enjoy with that imo...

We are talking about net wage right?
I think it would be around 2500€ in Germany.
(Though food and meat and all that stuff is VERY cheap in germany)

of course
don't remember which of you have cars , so that should up the monthly costs by a considerable bit , unless you drive a company car most of the time |

€2000 should be enough in the Netherlands. The man working fulltime (2000) and the woman working parttime (1000 or so) should net 3000. That's enough for a startup family.

1500€ could be enough to lead a decent lifestyle if you don't have a family, but in order to fully enjoy the life I'd say 2500€. Things completely change if you have a family and/or you've got to pay the rent (since the prices here are ridiculously high even for shitty 60m^2 apartments..)

Absolutely not, prices have doubled while the salaries are the same as 2001. A lot of people who have never had problems in the past are now encountering several difficulties to make ends meet. |

Don't get me started on 'cheap' meat...

i get around 960 usd a month, though i work 13-14h per day (6-7 days a week, depending if they need sundays). great i say. i don't have resources to take proper care of my car even. my girlfriend left me because i dont have any free time to be with her. AND ALL THIS thanks to the fact i dont have any solid degree.

I live on 2500 euro / 3200 usd/month, and I can just afford to pay bills and food. Got some cash left every month if I'm lucky.
I hate you.

who pays the scholarship ?
over here only companies pay such a large amount , uni usually gives like 60e , and you pay like 25 out of that for the dorm , no real time until the 4th year to do anything extra , only if you LIVE in the city where the uni is .
sure you could get a part time job and get payed about 120-130 e per month , but during vacation you'll pay about 40 to keep staying in the dorm
PS
avarage wage here is about 250 and that's not a good sum at all , if you have kids and you're the only provider you're pretty much fucked

I'm on £700 a month, i get paid weekly and am from the u.k.
But i also get working tax credit which i hope Cameron doesn't stop for people like myself under 10k a year wage.
So £700 a month plus £52 a week credits so I'm on about £900 a month.
Not ideal and sure wouldn't be if i had my own home, but I'm ok atm.
Ryzen 5 3600 cpu@3.60 Mhz.
hyper x 32 gb ddr 4 memory.
Msi Carbon gaming pro ac motherboard.
Evga 600 psu.
Msi Armour rx 8 gb 5700 Graphic card.
Ps4 Standard 500gb.
Lg 4k 42 inch tv.
Oculus Quest 2.
