I tend to think that I am LIVING the American dream. I think it is all about living within your means. If you can’t live comfortably for 65K a year then perhaps you need to sit down with a financial counselor; but to each their own. For me, 65K is a fair wage and I too am responsible for hundreds of lives, but so are city bus drivers. And man, I wouldn’t pay 200K for a condo ANYWHERE…that is just wrong. |
Where are you living? Because living in Los Angeles, I don't think you could find a home in Burbank for less than a good million. SURE you could move to a slum there but I was still paying $750 a month in rent for a 200 square foot studio and the bodies kept piling up in front of my apartment complex. No thanks, bossman.
Condo's are going for $180,000 on the low end in Park City, which is where my fiance lives. She's not going to sacrifice HER career just so I can take sub standard pay in MY career. She'd leave me pretty fast if that's how our relationship went.
And city bus drivers in Lansing, MI top out at $130,000 a year, and those in Kalamazoo, MI are making $100,000 a year. So...
