Re: Did the IRS like you or not?
I worked for the government (Marines), made right about 20k a year if you averaged out my 5 years of salary, and worked my freaking ass off, no paid overtime, and the benefits weren't anything to write home about. Is that good money?

Re: Did the IRS like you or not?
20k is all right if you live by yourself and have a cheap honduh
Add in kids+house payment+car payment+whatever and it seems like 20k a year would suck ass to try to live on. |
Re: Did the IRS like you or not?
Yup, I'd say it's "livable" at best, but definately not "good money" as Dr. Boost claimed government workers make.
I actually managed to make around 25k my last year in, but that's because I spent a bunch of time over in the Middle East. 25k, nice 5k jump in pay for living over in that ---- hole, working 7 days a week, and risking my life. God damn overpaid gov workers, we're just sucking up all the tax money!! Maybe if more people gave 0% interest loans I would have made 26k :o |

Boost, ditch the truck, buy a CRX Hf (cheap on payments, insurance, gas), steal cable & internet from a neighbor, brush your teeth harder, get a cheaper cell phone company and you should be set lol

Babymomma didn't have a job last year while she was at school, so I get to claim my kid this year and see what all the hoopla is about.

Im about to hit my 6 year mark, and the cola here is what helps me out. I wish they would up the pay all together. Base pay + cola is comfortable living IMO. /military pay talk

I've yet to have a full time job year round, no need to. Live at home still, havent taken a break from school, right after high school was done I dove headfirst into school. If I really wanted to I could wrap up at the end of summer and head to the four year instituation of my choice but I think I'll drag that out one more semester and chill out in the summer. :6 I won't name the exact amount but my mom was not making near 20k a year ~8 years ago when she was on her own again, this time with a 12 and 14 year old needing fed. She managed to work a regular 9-5 job m-f, keep us both full and even be able to pay for sports and other nice things like that, had a decent car and didn't need help from anyone. This is where I get the notion that its probably pretty easy to live on your own at 20k a year. Not so much when you've got two other mouths to feed. |
