PrettyBlackDressIf You Were Unemployed, But Had A Hefty Savings Of 10K, In What Ways Would You Approach Your Job Search Differently?
OrbituaryWhat everyone in this comment section calling out “10k isn’t much” are failing to understand is that over 60% of the USA live paycheck to paycheck and don’t have any savings to speak of. Extend that to the world and you would go pale.
Check your privilege and get educated.
More than 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Here's what researchers say is to blame.
Even 4 in 10 high-income households earning more than $100,000 are living paycheck to paycheck, a new study finds.
Yea seriously thank you. I’m like mind blown that ppl don’t think that’s a lot of money. 10K would last me almost 2 years not working. I’m single, no dependents, my rent is cheap and I own my car. What’s the deal here man? Why’s everyone pissing on 10k as chump change? That’s a lot of money man
TooMuchDogHow in the world are you able to live off $5k/year? My last months credit card bill was $2.6k and I don’t even pay rent or tuition on my card. I’m also single with no dependents, own my own car, and have extremely cheap rent.
How are you spending 2.6k a month? Do you just eat out everyday?
I pay around that per month, but that includes all of my expenses, including rent and other bills. Maybe the person you’re responding to has kids or something.
With rent and all expenses that’s about what we spend.
Without rent like they mentioned it seems so much. I dunno how I would spend that much in a month. Apparently I’m wrong for asking though.
I don’t know much about their situation, but one of my coworkers has kids in daycare and it seems insanely expensive to the point where they’ve recently needed to get a second job.
It’s not usually that high but it’s not totally uncommon for me to spend that much a month. I usually try to keep my spending between $1,200-1,800/month but that doesn’t always happen.
Rent for a 1b apartment is more than that in some cities in California
