General Politics Discussion (IX) [ARCHIVED] • Page 418

I have a couple friends where both make over 6 figures, and their amount of "dgaf" seems to be pretty high.

Will say, the duel income is quite nice. Well, until a global pandemic you know, ruins that shit.

 

Honestly, I'd probably just look at the color/design of the flag and see the name and assume it's pro-Trump. It's like the people who have done variations on the MAGA hats. It always requires a second look for me

 

Or you have twins and the cost of child care is more than one of your salaries.

 

Hmmm ... thinking about this .... yeah, don't think I want to do that.

 

Working at a Los Angeles area public school and a teacher can hit 100k by their 12th year of teaching if they have an M.A.

 

"Los Angeles area" can mean a lot of things in relation to "reasonable average income" hah

 

They're lucky they're so dang cute!

 

coincidentally, I just saw this. I want to know where I can get internet for $20 and a *squints at notes* house cleaner for $30.

 

For me personally, buying a house took about 5 years of active planning where we budgeted extremely strictly. Paying the actual mortgage afterwards was an adjustment from rent because it was higher, but it was doable.

And then having kids - financially speaking - was like being hit with nuclear fucking bomb.

 

I know so much of that is insane and out of touch, but where can you get internet for twenty bucks??

 

Someone comes and cleans this person's house for $30 a month...?

 

Tbf it’s close…I think it tops out at like 91K right now. We renegotiate our contract every 3 years or so and all the salaries usually go up by 1-2% when we do

 

lol I did a double take, thought it was a trump flag at first

 

my high school teachers (south suburbs of chicago) made 100-120k once they had been there for like 15 years. i wonder if new teachers getting in today will see that tho

 

"Excellent with money"

*Spends $400 a month in groceries*

(presumably for a one person household)

 

Looks like I missed a very pointless discussion today.

let’s just go back to the food debates

 

Like, House cleaner: $30 = this -->

 

Or rent for $825 or health insurance (actually worth paying for) for $270.

 

I’m in school administration so make decent money for being in education but I’m the only one in our Central Office that isn’t over $100K (I’m also like, 20 years younger than everyone).

If I had my same position for a corporation, I’d be making TONS more. I had a recruiter from a large corporation reach out to me in January and asked if I’d be interested in hearing about their internal communications position and I said sure and she asked me how much it’d take for me to leave my job and I said $110K and she literally laughed and said “I assume that’s less than what you make now? If you get an interview ask for much higher”

 

I'm not advocating that any person should clean another person's house for only $30 a month either - I'm advocating that this graph can go fuck itself. Big side eye at that 'Donations' number as well... Every month? I don't believe you, you figment of some overpaid boomer's imagination!
