I just got a 75k year job

its called "connections and nepotism"

Nice going leaf! I'm doing just about the same as you, I hope for the best of us both!

no nepotism, recruiter called me

cybersec is supposed to pay well?

no, I'm 28. I won't even break 6 figures before I hit 30. fucking pleb tier. I'd rather NEET.

people are still thinking in terms of y2k money. 75k really isn't that much in today's world but still more than most wagies.

It's the truth. My masters is from University of Maryland.

>I won't even break 6 figures before I hit 30.
o stfu idiot
just work hard, save and live sensibly. don't get your head up in your arse
heh..are you in howard county? this area is fucking shit, but most defense contractors pay at least 70-80k these days, you must be working for some small subcontractor

I'm in Loudon county, Virginia. And i work for Microsoft.

lol
nice trolling faggot

At least you are graduated

Call it what you want, but it's the truth. I'd take a picture of my ID badge, but photography at work is grounds for termination.

rent here is $1300-1400 for a 1bedroom. I'll barely have any savings. I was making 50k at my last job and literally lived paycheck to paycheck.

dont live in the city. go out in the suburbs

Wtf thats more expensive than Switzerland

In a meme course. "I want to be a scientist when I grow up!". Yeah, don't do that. If you are not good with math, you are screwed. Even Physics is a waste of time.

Nigger are you even American?

lel cuck

is this a meme? there is no way a country is that expensive that everyone is considering a wage of 6k a month to be too low to survive

I made 50k and I was literally living paycheck to paycheck. Keep in mind pic related includes grown adults with kids to take care of.

I am. I've lived in Europe for 5 years though.

I don't get it how can things be that expensive?
can you give me a summary of where your money goes monthly? is it maybe uni fees?

Living on your own is really nice, don't have to deal with anyones shit and the place stays in order.

I pay $4,800 month rent in Brooklyn. You flyover faggots complaining about 1k make me laugh. My rent alone could feed a family of 6 in arkansas

New job boys. 10 hour days, five days a week on my feet all day.

Does it get easier on my dogs?

I work as a retailcuck and make barely above minimum wage. I'm also 25. How long will I last before committing suicide?

I don't want to be this guy but the average person in arab countries works 6 days a week (if not 7 a week in many cases) around 10-12 hours a day and get paid (if you do get the money in lebanon) around 300$ at best
i'm not saying your suffering is not justified but just wanted to tell you count your blessings
worker rights don't exist either so you can get fired or not hired for having a different religion/sect

kek i make 150k STR8 out of university. work in seattle

EY LIBBE

Which state? Is it nice there other than that ?

do you give the government a tip?

what?

1lb of cheese is $6-$7. 1kg = 2.2lb

1lb of deli meat that doesn't contain a bunch of poisonous preservatives is $10/lb at least

10oz bag of chips is like $5 now

1gallon of milk is $4

car insurance is $150 at least

cell phone is $90 with data

if you have a car payment (I don't) $350-$500 a month, also increases your insurance

1 bedroom is about $1300+ a month, plus trash, utilities, internet

the rest goes to food and gas and surprise expense. typically you have to eat out when at work, which in my city costs $12-$14/meal and that's not even a sit down restaurant

Florida, no it's a shit hole. Work is hard to find and the state is like one big dirty parking lot.

Real inflation is at least 10%/year since 1999 and wages have not even moved, housing, education, and healthcare have all skyrocketed

It's fucking over for the middle class

God i cant wait to get a studio apartment. Having room mates is terrible, I hear them fucking, farting, talking, partying, they clog the toliet, steal food, leave the dishes piling, never clean, and I cant watch porn on loud volume

Made 2000/euro living in a cool city with all my friends but quit and moved back with my parents because of depression.

dunno what/where to do/go now.

Thats so retarded. Brooklyn isnt even that nice. You could spend $1300 for a beautiful medieval apartment in the center of Zürich or Amsrerdam

I have a $130k/yr job but I work too much, deal with too much stress, and want to quit.

Am I just an entitled millenial who should suck it up considering how "lucky" I am? Are my expectations of being able to make a living doing something you like (if not love) unrealistic?

I just went from 5 month post uni NEET to 1 month min wagy to 74k eng cuck. But it is in SoCal so its a mediocre deal.

>typically you have to eat out when at work, which in my city costs $12-$14/meal
>Approx $260/month on lunches alone

Stop doing this. Is there some reason why you cant toss some dinner leftovers into a tupperware container and take it with you in the morning?

Dude I swear to God every 6 months the grocery store raises their prices 20-50 cents. It doesn't sound like much but when it's every item, it adds up quick. I buy store brand everything and I still spend ridiculous amounts on food.

I want to leave the US very badly, we're being taken for a ride.

Depends how much money you're stashing each month. I'd work on a long term plan to escape user. I wouldn't advise staying in Canada or even the US at this point but what do I know.

I don't I'm just saying it's fucking expensive when you do.

No idea. I made the other post and appreciate your comment. Sore feet are a good price to pay. The thing which should worry me more is long-term hearing damage from my job or workplace accident (explosion or chemical burns). But baded on what you said I can guess in the Arabic world things like workers comp are nonexistent as well.

Most people are ruthless social darwinist narcissists and they WILL fire you if you don't eat with them, the more "prestigious" your career is the more you are expected to live the lifestyle expected of you

Are you a lawyer and want to drive a 2007 honda accord instead of a brand new BMW? You're fucking FINISHED. Are you a doctor and trying to save money to pay off your medical school debt and refusing to wine and dine drug salesman? You're career is OVER

at what other point in human history are people in their 20s and 30s treated like children and why is it our bosses business how frugal we can live? he did the same shit to my coworker who is 33. then to add insult to injury I have to listen to more boomer faggots on Jow Forums tell me I'm entitled for wanting money for home or a savings.

Where do you suggest an aspiring cyber security worker start? There's community college classes near me. Is that a good place to start?

Sort of in the same position as this guy. I just want the skills to get my foot in the door with a help desk jerb. I'm not a tech guy though. Where should I begin if I want to teach myself the basics? Right now if I have any issues with my computer I just research on google until I find the solution, but I don't actually "know" anything.

I mean, I just read a bunch of Kevin Mitnick books, fooled around with Kali Linux and watched tutorials on youtube. I recommend hackersploit because he does a full rundown on basics

is that supposed to be a bad thing? fuck off

I prefer NEETing, especially since 75k/year doesn't afford me anything other than being a renter. I see no end in sight.

This. I buy a whole huge pack of rice and beans for $20 which lasts me months and I only drink tap water and garden vegetables. I dont have a phone plan and I dont need one.

>Dude I swear to God every 6 months the grocery store raises their prices 20-50 cents. It doesn't sound like much but when it's every item, it adds up quick. I buy store brand everything and I still spend ridiculous amounts on food.
This shit is getting crazy. I saw Oreos the other day for 5 fucking dollars. And a 12 pack of soda cans was like 7 bucks. How the fuck do fatties do it

friendly reminder that the ongoing infantilization of young adults is an ill-intended cancer that was developed by certain wealthy (((people))) who want to destroy western civilization and enslave all non-richfags.

There's this dollar store I go to for small household items, cleaners, and stuff like that. I've also noticed that they have knock-off brands of popular junk foods like oreos, pringles, etc for a TINY fraction of the price. Sometimes I see this neckbeard in there who must be 400lbs and he always has a full shopping cart of this shit.

This is so fucking true. There was no such thing as "teenage years", 13 year olds would work in factories and help their parents. A lot of the immigrants to America from Europe were 16, like Trump's grandad took a boat from Germany to New York and started working and the Chef Boyardee guy moved from Italy to America at 16. By infantizing "teens" they rebel. These same boomers keep saying 21 is too low for the drinking age and that "21 year olds are kids" and that it should be 25.

>75k
Well at least you are not in NYC, Boston, or worse, the W*st Coast.

Even 75k C*nadian would be way more than enough. 75k American per annum is a fucking fortune.

>in my city costs $12-$14/meal and that's not even a sit down restaurant
here that would be around $7 but the average monthly wage is like three hundred and fifty
