No one feels sorry for you either. Dummy boy
You dont, i hope they lose their homes.
nobody feels sorry for them
because they still have rent and other bills due. my entire family is dependent on one federal paycheck so go fuck yourself
most people are heavily in debt and living paycheck to paycheck. don't feel sorry for them and their life choices.
people like this
>because they still have rent and other bills due. my entire family is dependent on one federal paycheck so go fuck yourself
we know that you have bills due, idiot. What we are telling you is: How on earth dont you have months and months of money saved up with a 90k salary.
How does your family feel being thieves?
Lol get fucked retard. I have zero sympathy for you.
The best is hearing about how we’re unsafe now because the TSA monkeys aren’t going to work, lol
i can't wait till those glow in the dark niggers stage a false flag at an airport then blame trump
You're scum.
You shouldn't. Federal employees are such faggots with their "he tewk our jawbbzzzz!!!" bullshit. Fucking redneck hick faggots should go learn STEM instead of relying on their hick federal government job that could be done by a hard-working Mexican for cheaper/artificial intelligence
Take it from me, i have a 130k job in the DC area (not a fed). That nets me like 6.5k per month. Rent is like 2.9k a month and after all other expenses, i pretty much live pay check to paycheck.
The government shuts down a few times every decade like clockwork. If these idiots don't plan ahead for the possibility that is their problem.
MAXIMUM SPONGING
>nets me like 6.5k per month
>Rent is like 2.9k a month
So you tell me, that you need $3.6k each month for gas, food and wifi?
Well yeah, it sounds like a lot, i know. Every month some random $1000 to $1500 expense comes up. Last month i had to fix my car, this month my washer/dryer unit blew, and thats $1300 to get a new one. Every month i have to repay 200 dollars to my 401k for a loan i took out for a mortgage. It all adds up.
Feel sorry for the park rangers if anyone. They make from 25-40k a year and look after the only places worth visiting on this earth.
get a real job
You reap what you sow, parasite.
You and your ilk have unironically sapped the blood, sweat and tears of honest men for decades and now it is time to pay the piper. Starvation and a quiet death are far better than you deserve.
Gubmint jobs are for low performance shitters.
>$1300 for a dryer/washer
Dafuq? No one can debate that a car repair can be quite expensive, but in Germany, I can buy one dryer/washer-combination for about 400€.
A used one for less than half of it.
Still: doubt.
I guess its on sale now, good time to buy
How about you get out of debt and downsize your life you fuck. No way you should be living paycheck to paycheck
Look, it's really not that much money for a pretty middle class lifestyle.
Yeah, i could cut some things out, but then it's pretty austere. And what's the point?
Can confirm.
>t. Low performance state gov worker
Rent in DC area is high.
I love each and every one of you. So many idiots I am forced to interact with on a normal basis are fucking brainwashed fucking wastes of oxygen.
This is a much needed breathe of fresh air
t. drumpf tewk errr jawbzzz!!!!!
keep crying hick should have got a real education
Reread my post you illiterate fuck
What's next federal cuck? Going to cry about manufacturing being shipped to China? Juan taking your berry picking job? Pajeet taking your codemonkey gig? Green incentives taking your coal mining job? Lmao fucking pathetic. Get with the times moron. It's called the free market and if we don't need you we don't need you. That's why you're non-essential and you should have planned for this federal cuck. Lmao you federal employee redneck blue collar retards are seriously pathetic. Keep crying about dey tewk muh jawbbb!!! We should outsource your shit to be honest because Somalians can do your shit for cheaper.
What in the fuck are you going on about? Jesus tits you're an emotional creature.
I am in complete agreement with each of the people here calling government workers parasites. I am against government in every way imaginable. We are not truly free as long as their is someone holding guns to our heads demanding taxes.
You are a special breed, kid
Agreed
>cushy job where promotions are simply based on time put in, and you can't really be fired unless you murder someone
>130k salary
>doesnt buy a car to live in
>doesnt spend all his savings on link
Wow user, learn to read. Disgusting.
>pretty middle class lifestyle
I almost fell for the bait. I almost fell for it. But this did it a bit too far.
Agreed, but I bet those men already have 4-5 months worth of money/food stocked, unlike city shitheads who waste every extra penny at the bar
Being able to afford
>a modest condo in a city
>a couple frugal vacations a year
>car repairs when they come up
>eat out 5 to 10 times per month
>contribute 7% to my 401k
Not middle class? What is then?
I still live check to check!
I live 30 minutes from a major city in Florida.
Middle class here is 30k / year.
130k and you could live like a damn king. We have no state income tax btw.
I guess it depends on your definition of middle class.
From my personal observations, 30k in most major citys is not going to go very far.
Stop it already.
Without proof, I wont believe someone being so stupid to believe, that 130k is middle-class.
I agree completely. It's all relative.
For example in San Fransisco a household making under 115k per year qualifies for housing aid.
In a city like DC or NY everyone makes over 100k a year but it doesn't mean shit because housing, taxes, and everything else is adjusted accordingly
??
What do you mean, proof?
How is being able to afford these things not anything but middle class?
should have voted republican faggot
You would think Jow Forums would be smart enough not to care about average numbers
What is the median?
Because they are the type of people who try to upgrade their lifestyle by living in luxurious homes or apartments. Thus, negating any savings that they would have had if they just stayed in their lane.
And I just 30 minutes outside of the city.
The difference of city expenses vs literally anywhere else is day and night.
My 5 acres cost me $45k and the 2016 double wide i plopped down onto it cost $65k unfinished to my own specs.
In a city with that same amount of money there is absolutely no chance I could even purchase a home. Id be forced to live in a decent apartment.
I. Hate. Cities.
Thats cool man. I wish it were that way here. 30 minutes outside of DC proper is like reston or springfield and its still expensive AF. I have a friend to takes the VRE in from Fredricksburg VA, 3 times a week (telework the other 2). 2 hours each way. There property is reasonable there, his house is great, like 3000 SF on about 3 acres and only like 420k. He sleeps on the the train on the way to work.
$90k doesn't sound right at all. Maybe in the DC area where everyone is GS13+ and gets DC locality. I live in seattle and I'm a GS11 Step 1 and I make $65k. My job series plateaus around G12 Step 4 which is just barely $90k, and the only people who would make more than me at that point would be supervisors and directors. And the vast majority of people in my office max out at lower grades than 11, their top salary even after 20+ years would only be maybe $60k tops.
Basically I'm calling bullshit, that number either only applies to DC which is a bubble of top-tier federal workers, or it's using gay math to add in the value of our 'benefits' to our salary (like being shuttered without notice for an indefinite period of time according to the whims of the god-emperor... great benefit, that)
One day you will realize that you are posting on a board that is investing in smart contracts and decentralized oracles that will completely eliminate your job.
I guess to put that property more in perspective, i bought my 900 SF condo about a year ago (in DC) for 575k. Parking spot included, which itself is worth about 30 to 40k. I pay 250 a month in condo dues. I put 20% down. Closing costs alone in DC were 18,000 dollars (fuck!) but as a first time home buyer i qualified for a 50% refund.
TAKING DOWN THE ZOG MACHINE JEW BY JEW BY JEW
>Average income == median income
This is why you can't make money. Also, where did that figure even come from, your ass?
You seriously took out money from your 401k...for a mortgage. You have some dumb priorities. You deserve everything you get.
Fucking larp. I’ve lived in both northern VA and Montgomery county MD in the past month 3 years and a new 1BR rents for 1600 max. If you live with roommates you can get by with 1000 a month rent or less even. 130k as a single guy in DC is rich as fuck. Maybe you have a family though.
It was a 10k loan to myself i took out of my 401k account. Total in my 401k savings is roughly about 125k.
I repay 5% interest to myself on a 5 year loan, about 200 dollars a month. Not my first choice to do, but i needed cash badly to make a down payment, closing costs, plus extra money left over to prove to my lender that i wouldnt miss mortgage payments. That last part was for a better interest rate.
What would you have done different?
They're worthless leeches, but I do understand where they're coming from. I don't keep more than 2-3 months of cash at a time, and while my shares are quite liquid I don't really want to sell them at the moment.
If he chooses to live in a Class A mid-rise $3000 for a 1BR isn't insane. I worked at a place that had diplomats and athletes (including Wizards and Capitals players) where rent was that high (and higher).
He's just choosing to live above his means.
No family.
Not sure where you live in MoCo but 1600 per month is cheap. I was renting a shithole in Arlington for 1400, most places in my neighborhood were 500 to 800 dollars more than that.
But as always with realestate its all about the location location location :3
Yes, because I planned and budgeted my money to avoid situations like this. You're failure to not have a proper built emergency fund is no one else's fault but your own. Fuck you for baiting me.
Yah, i am probably over streched.
I don't live in a high rise. I live in a 3 unit condo converted from a row house.
>i pretty much live pay check to paycheck.
absolutely pathetic if not a larp.
Don't feel bad user, I am in DC right now, if you had any idea how lazy, entitled, overpaid, and arrogant govt workers are(not all), you wouldn't give a shit.
This number is probably just DC, and I can confirm there are many $100k govt jobs here. I knew a secretary in the Pentagon that made $110k/year just to answer the phone.
>be a scum sucking nonproducing fed worker
>waa where is my pay
Bureaucrats kys
Dude, I live in DC area. You are a dumbass for paying 2.9k a month in rent.
Isn't DC 50% black? Where do they live?
>a couple frugal vacations a year
>a couple
wew, where do you normally go and how much holiday leave do you get?
you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, unless you want to live with filth, fucking child
t. someone renting a studio for $1600 a month in a luxury building right outside the city
They say that 100 million Americans are 1 paycheck away from bankruptancy so with that in mind, what do you think all of those govt. employees are going to do?
You have to go back
You rapist
Guess what guys, I actually work for DHS and my entire job deals with counter drug interdiction and illegal migration, yet we are not being paid. Our president is the most hypocritcal fucking coward for going on live TV and express how important those matter are to him, and then not pay the very people who conduct those missions. All of you dumb bible thumping degenerates would have a very different reaction if it were you who was not being paid for your work.
you shouldn't. a lot of them are totally unnecessary and they should find a real job.
How the fuck would voting republican get him paid?
He wouldn't be such a faggot with a real job in the first place.
Fuck you libtard
Shut up traitor piggo fake cop
Get ass raped
Holy shit I blew a lung laughing

>tfw living the comfy NEET life on 500€/month and you still manage to put 250 into link every month while these poor slaves are wasting 40+ hours/week of their lives and still can't save shit
To be fair, I'm sure it is not totally your fault. You probably have a retarded wife that spends too much on bullshit.

The specialists and executive appointees throw off the average. Doctors too.
Proud of you Jow Forums
Calling out the federal leaches out and the shitbird millennials that lack self control in spending
>eat out 5 to 10 times per month
KEEEEK that's at the base minimum, at least fucking $80 right there.
The government should be shut down for good, fucking parasites..
this is the only correct answer
