Survey: Can You Live On Your Salary.....y/n?

Not many can and most no matter what they are on live over and above it constantly, so are you one of the rare ones that can actually live and not just exist on your current salary?





Thanks all ;))

Survey: Can You Live On Your Salary.....y/n?
I don't live beyond my means and I barely make minimum wage. My husband makes more but with 2 teenager boys it's hard enough just to feed them. But yes, we can live just fine on our incomes. we fell into the credit trap and we're lucky we nipped it in the bud before it got out of hand.
Reply:I go from hand to mouth, with a trip to the nursery or an occasional haircut thrown in for laughs.


I am doing OK, but asked for and received overtime to help.


My mate is retired.


I have one credit card which I use for emergencies.I have insurance, health insurance and a 401K.
Reply:Hell no. That's one of the reasons I'm looking for another job. Everything is going up except wages. It's pretty pathetic when a 45 yr old man has to move back home because I can't afford to make it on my own. Paying child support on three kids doesn't help either.
Reply:Yes - no problem at all. I think anyone can overspend, but if you have the basics covered - like a roof over your head, heating, lighting, water and food - then everything else is within your own control.
Reply:Well now mention it I have only managed two weeks in turkey up to now this year. It would be nice to have another Nile cruise but will so many other places to go I'm not sure I have the time. Oh sorry yes I can just about manage
Reply:Yes. I make good money and have great investments. I should retire but I enjoy what I do. We live a simple, small town life and both do well in our careers.
Reply:i don't have a salary. so i guess the answer would be no. i don't even have a job
Reply:The reason so many people can't live on their salary is because they don't consider that living.





Right now, I'm raising a family of five on less than a thousand dollars a month. But we're still alive.
Reply:well, I live with my pops...so not having to pay rent is pretty sweet....so yes...but I did just get a new truck that I am going to try and pay off quickly...so money will be tite...but yes...I can live on whaty I make...
Reply:Until I retired 3 weeks ago Yes i could.





If I hadn't been careful and planned for my retirement, would I manage on just a Senior's pension. No I couldn't
Reply:Been doing it for almost 40 years, semi-retired and very comfortable.....
Reply:I can and do, quite well in fact. BUT if I had a family (which I do not) then I think I might be giving you a much different answer.
Reply:Yes, I can... Not only me, but my house-wife %26amp; my 3 kids live on my salary as well... Wife used to work, but I'd rather have her at home taking care of my 9 month old son.
Reply:i actually can, 40plus hrs at 12.50...preety good
Reply:I work for myself so yeah I can, I always make what I need to survive,





~~Peace~~
Reply:no I cant I always over spend and have to focus the full first part of the month cleaning up my mess i make
Reply:Quite well-yes
Reply:I can live on it but with more money I could live a whole lot better! lol
Reply:Well, I can as long as my husband works too. If I was on my own...it would be hard.
Reply:For now, I can't but good question!
Reply:I am right now so yea
Reply:I have to live on it. But, it would be much easier if taxes weren't taken out.
Reply:Nope.. I don't have an income so I live off my parents.
Reply:Yes, If you can't you should get a new job.
Reply:no
Reply:yes
Reply:hell no....
