In your area what would u consider an acceptable income? And why that amount?

Here i would say 50K but i know people that make alot more and alot less. IMO its all about what you need or want in life and if u are willing to wait to get things or will go in debt to get what u want like say a car or another item that someone may finance. My parents taught me to finance nothing except a house cause you are basically paying more than what it costs just so u can have it and its value drops.

 

I make about $12,000 working full time for Wal-Mart...[:'(][:'(][:'(]


EDIT: 19K possible now

Looking around for a great job that accepts wal-mart management refugees

 

Damn dude 12k? Last year i made more than that and didnt even work 1000 hrs that year. I am looking for a job right know that is full time that makes 25k plus. Which Wal-mart?

 

Eldersburg. About to switch to Mount Airy in a week.

 

$12k for me is like winning the lottery every month.

i'm on $2k now monthly and can only afford to eat beef once a week.

when God was spreading luck on this earth, i must have brought a very small basket with me.

 

Hey sleep AMG meant 12k a year!

 

haha yeah... 144k a year ain't bad! (Plus I don't think you can get that at Walmart either) 12k a year????? So THAT's how they keep prices low... pay their employees crap. For full time that is pitiful. Wish ya luck with that job search [sm=signs003.gif]

 

Where, as a teenager, do you work making 144k a year?


And SleepWalker lives in the middle of government corruption and he's still making more than me! Way to show off. Down with Sam!

 

well, at least you guys drive mercedes-benz and can eat at The Old Homestead Steak House for that nice burger.

my tummy is gnurling now. am gonna fry that anchovies for dinner now and wash it down with iced cold beer.

 

What's wrong with eating bait and beer for dinner?

Minimum wage here in WA is near $7.50/hour. That's near $15,000/year for a lowly Wally-world associate or Micky D's burger flipper. Too bad a cheap lunch now costs $8 to pay for it.

If you worked for Starbucks, you would get insurance, benefits for your gay spouce and make near $11/hour; plus share the socialist mindset...and tip jar. You will also be able to smile selling coffee worth $.40 a cup to idiots for $4.00. Lets see... one cup a day for every working day. That's $800 per year for coffee. Think about it. I make better coffee at home for pennies a cup. I think Lugnut beat this dead horse though (sorry).

Cut your hours to part time and go back to school if you can. A college education ( a BS, BA or BBA) will make you part of the top 1% of educated people in the world and greatly improve your options for making $$$ for the rest of your life.
