yea but too cold tho
Thankfully it rarely goes below freezing or snows here on this island. Sure rains a boatload in the winter though. But I mostly work inside in the winter cutting timber frame joinery, so it’s not that bad.

I'm not that successful yet. I'll let you know when I'm making 30k a month.
Do you actually care about making that much? You can live quite enjoyably on a fraction of that.

Surely I could live on 10k a month and have a blast but why give up at 10k? I'm sure once you have deeper pockets and good cash flow you can make the jump to 50k/mo in no time.

Different lifestyles and goals I guess. I just don’t care enough about money. I can enjoy life when making 3k a month as much as I can when making 10k a month. I’ve never even really bothered to consider making more. :boh:

Isn't it expensive to live where you are? 10k a month can make a lot of problems go away that you'd have making 3k a month.

It’s not bad here, well, at least outside the city. Of course, on 3k a month (after tax) you aren’t going to be buying a nice home here, but it’s not hard to live off that and have disposable income for saving a little or hobbies/interests/etc.

You can find a 1br place for $1000-$1200 a month or so I believe (I don’t rent myself, so not positive about this). Throw in $500 a month for groceries (doesn’t include eating out). $100 for car insurance. $200 for gas. $100 for phone bill. $100 a month for car maintenance/repairs.

You’re still going to have $500-$1000 each month for hobbies/booze/clothing/eating out/saving/whatever other expenses.

Of course, with more money you can afford to drink better booze, buy nicer things, eat out more and better, Save more money, etc. But it’s not that hard to live a financially worry free and enjoyable life with as little as $3k a month after tax here.
