define living comfortably, having a home you don't have to worry getting evicted from, or access to money in case of emergencies doesn't sound doable on 800 a week or do you mean comfortable is food on table and rent paid?Jade_Inc. wrote:Xplode wrote:if you have wife / kids $20,000

I know someone, who used to send 3 kids to school plus buyin groceries wit d extras and is living comfortably with $800 a week.

If you have a house wife and a kid and perhaps a second car then that figure is passing $30k a month. You may not have a benz or a boat or money to travel over seas every summer but you can live a very comfortable middle class life.
If you still living with parents and you have no debts to pay and your success is judged by what car you drive at the school reunion then as little as $8k a month gross can land you a brand new car from sparky to versa with a 10% dp. or you can easily buy a roro march/tiida/wingroad/corolla/axela with a 20% dp and still have money to lime.
One can save a lot of cash if they bring their home cooked food to work instead of buying a $30k-$40k lunch on a daily basis plus buy breakfast. That is $1,000. wasted on avg per month. Just a tip.

As said before your lifestyle is a major factor. If you want to be living out and bling dong $15 - 25k easily. Salary ranges are vast and people like to fluff their feathers often (over exaggeration) I have employee's making $4k a month with children, car, house... they are doing it and still going on vacation, going "boat ride", playing mas...
You want to live in "tong" pay "tong price", I hear people renting $7 - 15k a month... that's mortgage payments! But instead its now dead money to you. Roof over your head in a 1/2 arse apartment in a "decent" area... I good, leave me on the outskirts of a populated area with water, power and internet. (still looking for the right place in gran couva though )
do you pay rent or mortgage with that $500 per week?EFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:hmm I does work for about $500 a week and does live comfortable on that.
Soon will be living on $150 a week when school starts. But I have it all figured out, will take PTSC bus to go POS for just $4 and walk the other 4 miles.
My big concern is paying my electric bill on that because this AC and computer does use atleast $300 per light bill cycle. So I will have to cut down on it, set timer to shut off the AC after i fall asleep and keep the fan going.
EFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:^ No i do not.
I live with my mom still, but was given my own place as it was a big house. I just pay my portion of electric bill, internet, phone, food etc. The only heavy killer is electric due to a 12,000 BTU AC. Other than that I live comfortable. Sure I could use more money but you know its not an absolute necessity to survive.
