How tf you can make 4x the state minimum wage and still be broke
Comment from : @imatoastydino

$233,00000 a year to be financially comfortable Seriously? Define "comfortable"!? Sounds more like "extravagant" That's the income at around the 98th percentile

Its just usury Fiat currencies always do this

Wow, when i was looking at that chart as a renter, he was spot on with $3307 I was paying $3600 a month as a single renter in Maryland with a $600 car payment and $70 car wash membership But my rent was $199 cheaper than what he posted Close enough

Call Dave Ramsey He has solutions We as Americans spend way to much on crap we don't need to impress people we didn't know It takes sacrifice early in your life so you can live the way you want later in the long run Starting a family needs to wait until you can actually afford it Get creative, it's not impossible
Comment from : @pnowikow

Depends on the definition of comfortable 30 years ago it was a 3 bedroom house and a new car every 10 years Now it's expected to get 10 bedroom mansions and 100k cars Maybe that's the difference Peoples expectations are too high these days

ALL OF THIS IS BC OF CNBC'S PRESIDENT 😂😂😂
Comment from : @jayman1943

The government doesn’t do a thing about struggling families not to mention the federal minimum wage is still 735 an hour To be able to afford groceries and your rent you need to make about 22 an hour but most jobs will only pay 1375 if your lucky you can find a job for $15 an hour but even that just simply is not livable
Comment from : @Retro_In_All_things

Out of high school I worked 13 years as a common laborer Ten of those years I attended college part time when I had enough extra money to pay for tuition, books and fees Earned a bachelor of science degree in computer science which led to a 30-year professional career Wasted 13 of those years married twice to no good result either time before finally starting my own company, living and working as I had always wanted to through to comfortable retirement at age 62 Anyone can try to do it that way, even today, but most will fail Keeping an open mind is essential for success

If rents stayed low, the money for consumption of goods might rise, thereby helping the whole Nobody thought of that so far?
Comment from : @suzannespanier4492

The average American is really bad in juggling elementary math is also very impulsive
Comment from : @icelandic_mughal2223

So the average Joe made $75K salary and he think he should've made $230K to feel more comfortable Why not $1M? Is there any logic in that stupid pretense? Why stop at $230K? Lmao Median net worth of average Joe is only about $200K in US So he wish he could make more than his entire net worth of salary in a single year? brbrI really don't get it
Comment from : @BuffedUpDude-jo4dc

It said over half of all of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck if you make $250,000 you you still be living paycheck to paycheck if you don't live below your means

Comment from : @annucci55

Who could’ve predicted that real-time technology, in the hands of large corporations and other for-profit entities, would’ve only enabled them to calculate an infinite amount of ways to generate more revenue… while taking into account none of the fallibility of a delusional manmade systembrbrbrHmmm…
Comment from : @AnnaB-ze7cw

Dang people age are spending $105 a week on food!? I only spend like $40
Comment from : @JMGENTERPRISES

$233k a year to be financially secure? 😳 Even when I was working as a bellman making $40k a year, I felt secure Just live within your means Don't spend money if you have to borrow it It is not rocket science
Comment from : @JMGENTERPRISES

This segment is a year old and we haven’t had any improvement in the economy to make folks feel comfortable with their finances One of the reasons Trump is back in office Folks are hopping he can help the economy for everyday folks, but the predictions based off his plan and tariffs will cause cost of living to only go up more
Comment from : @AnotherOfficeDay

This s*** is ridiculous, the question is what do the American public need to do to fix this?
Comment from : @papagiorgio2493

50 years of legal and illegal immigration has crushed wages and skyrocketed housing costs, especially for working class Americans
Comment from : @prettygirlus9008

Comment from : @meandshe1518

It's true, we have all have to live on beans, ramen and oatmeal to save in this economy now to afford rent 😔

Comment from : @Owenhlre

How many people do you know that make $233K a year?
Comment from : @dronegirl7539

There’s no such thing as “comfortable” when it comes the the amount of money you have Humans cannot have enough, there’s always a hunger for more regardless the amount you own
Comment from : @bryanotero8782

WTF needs $233,000 annual income to be "financially comfortable"? Get control of your spending

Comment from : @rvw3022

And today, Americans keep reelecting rich politicians expecting them to act in their behalf That will never happen Trump will NOT work for fhe average American Think about it He has musk whispering in his ears Not the average American Trump will always work for himself and for his family Just like Biden That is and will always be the reality Yay, the American dream
Comment from : @lincolnjean-louis615

They forgot to mention how congress often gives themselves pay raises
Comment from : @just_christian

90-100k would have me and my family comfortable with just me working Anybody who thinks they need 230k a year is just another greed driven person
Comment from : @ElVonJiggle

those that produce nothing are buying everything of value and marking it up corporations are not people they cant have their power shut off or even feel any drop in income or have to live in a car with a kid they are the problem and via graft they now own the congress and courts its not near as bad as its going to get if we dont get together from the bottom up the wealth gap is crazy high
Comment from : @timkahn2813

I don't agree with the "message" what this video tries so hard to send out Not everything should be based off from 0 interest rate The lady says "it used to be $2,000, now it's $3,400" You missed the one of life time opportunity and you can't afford that house without a massive discount rate Move on
Comment from : @yangbomb2

I'm financially secure, with a paid off house and no debt and have been saving 20 to 25 since I was in my 20's I remember in 2018 my family had monthly net expenses of $5k and that was after saving into my 401k Today those same expenses are $64k a month, with a gross income of about $92k I have a 6 month emergency fund and I use a paycheck ahead fund to prevent overdraft charges Inflation has set us all a bit closer to living paycheck to paycheck I am 55 years old and planning to retire at age 60, with $920k in my 401k; but if there is another round of high inflation or a financial correction, I will likely have to delay retirement until 63 or later

Financial institutions are feckless and reckless but they don’t want to be regulated so they give donations to their buddies on Capitol Hill to buy their favours Sorry my mistake it’s because they believe in democracy

These stats themselves are so inflated i don't know anyone taking home, as a single income themselves, near $3500 on 1 income "Average" Americans are only making between $15-$25/hour in Florida across all fields
Comment from : @shaded8293

Don't worry, the US citizenry in it's infinite wisdom elected a twice impeached, felony stricken "billionaire" conman to come in and fix everything He'll make everyone rich He said so

It's all a combination of corporate greed and government miss management
Comment from : @REV1517

Live on what you earn, not what you want
Comment from : @christopherdean2893

A decent rent and expenses are around $21k per year, $10k for food and other minor needs plus $5k on "others" so you need at least $36-40k to be able to live in a way that is not as bad, you may not have a luxury lifestyle but it could work You won't be living under the bridgebrThis is an average city in Texas
