[OT] Is $1200 a month "plenty"?

Author: Pete Theisen

Posted: 2010-05-20 11:34:19   Link

Hi Everybody,

I just had some c*nt doctor tell me that I should have money to spare if

I am getting $1200 a month. Well, I *am* getting $1200 a month and I can

barely get by on it!

How much do you really have to have to have "money to spare"? I think

any less than $60K per year will require a lot of trade offs.

Too many variables in there Pete. You would have to define the

circumstances around which somebody was living in order to determine

what level of income was necessary.

That said, I find it hard to reason that somebody earning $1,200.00 per

month would have much money to spare after paying for basic living expenses.

Hi Virgil,

It is $14,400 a year. That wasn't even good money 20 years ago. Maybe in

some backwater where you can pay your doctor in chickens, but I live in

Sarasota FL. Hamburger here is $3.99 a pound!

Why don't I just eat bread and cereal? I would but the diabetes NAZIS

keep telling me I have to eat meat. Then the cholesterol NAZIS tell me

to *not* eat meat.

My big expenses right now are maintaining my home. Seems that everything

is falling apart at once. I need to replace the AC and it is $6K. I put

in a window unit as a stopgap for $100 but the condo NAZIS are having a

fit over it.

Then I need a bathtub which I haven't even priced, but I know damned

well I can't afford it. If I were to try to put it in myself the condo

NAZIS would raise hell over that. Then all the flooring is 40 years old

and has to be replaced, then . . .

So come live in Argentina, U$1200 is plenty enough here for many.

Specially if you have your own home (it would be equivalent to a yank

earning some $4500 a month).

Right, move to a foreign country and lose that money. Perhaps he

convince them that he still resides in the US and is only 'visiting'.
