whats good salary

[omar07]

Looks like all somalis are making some amount of money , never have I met anyone making more than 80k
I always wanted to know. Is like everyone is working under the same roof. What's good salary to rise a family in the west

[muftaax]

80k is base salary.

Make 80K in places like Atlanta or Texas and you'll be living like Kings. Make the same amount in a place like Seattle and will barley be able to scratch by, and that's with a small family.

Family wise a salary of 120k is OK. Considering its net combined income. If a family is rely on 80k with 5 children, no college funds, health insurance and a housewife. You'll never get by.

Median income for most Americans with a 4 year college degree is about 50k and in a household with two working college grads more offcourse. The demographics are different depending on where the person lives, the type of lifestyle he/she leads really. But you can survive on minimum pay and social services or if you are really educated and experiences, then sky is the limit.

30-50K if u single

50-100K if u raising a family

^That is if ur trying to live the American Dream, however it heavily depends on the life style.

My mom raised us with less than 20k a year and we got by

[muftaax]

Wow 30k is near poverty

60k if your single- and 40k if your in your 20s. Your household income should be no less than 80K which includes kids and a wife. And even then you'd be rolling in debts.

Depends on where you live. My parents paid around $8,000 for the whole year for my housing costs plus food & leisure spending, clothing and other shit, but this figure doesn't include tuition which they also covered---this is also the reason I'm taking a loan this year --- If a college kid could live comfortably on $8k a year I don't know how single professionals who make $60k a year end up with little savings in the end. If I live like my college self when I get my first 50-60-70k/year job then I should be jetsetting after my first full year of pay.

The more you make, the more you spend. That is the problem. You think you will be able to save money relying on your past experience when you had meager income. That is going to prove futile. It won't happen. I live comfortably on 40k a year now. In Between 2003-2008, I was making 65k. I still live the same way I used to. No debt, no credit card use, paid cash for the cars I owned, never took a loan for college education, I paid my way through college, and the rest paid by the company I worked for.


I think Ducada waalidka works. I have a college degree and am attending the university still, my education still covered. Money isn't everything. You can live on any income if you have clean life-style and don't value material possession that much.

My advice is being the next big thing inventor. Start your own business and I don't mean hilib xalaal ama maqayad.........

Come up next facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Cancer or Aids Medicine

What would be great income is to be on a wage of £1 billion an hour. I'd only ever work for that hour
