Oh Jesus, the very first guy is making more than I've ever made in my life and is crying about trying to figure out a way to save only 10-15% of his salary.

With my old job I was able to contribute 13% of my wages. Not so much anymore. Things are a wee bit tighter.
My new goal is to try and save (and invest) 50% of my income. So far it's MUCH easier than I ever imagined it would be.
EDIT: The cutting back spending part is easier I mean.
Yeah, that happens sometimes. It's all about perspective.Quote:

ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT. Either talk about reloading or STFU
Yeah, that's pretty good. You're making good money and that helps a lot. Our biggest problem is our expenses. Cost of living is stupid expensive here. Utility bills on a house that is 50% as big as our CO Springs house are usually 250-350% higher here. Food is more expensive. Gas is more expensive. Taxes are stupid high. Mortgage on tiny house is high. I'm beginning to regret buying a house here. It was a pretty emotional decision, and probably not a wise one.Quote:
