How can anyone answer this? That all depends on what someone thinks is "good".

It's easily enough to live on...that's for sure.

Assuming you make this amount year-round, that equates to a little under $30,000 a year, which is plenty for a single individual to live off of unless you're in NYC or going to business school on your own dollar or something.

A good guideline I think is if you can save at least 10% of your paycheck every month, you're doing alright.

Are you making ends meet and saving as much as possible ?

but it is enough to live check to check...but you just want a little breathing room in the form of cash, just in case "life" happens.
It used to be that people would get credit cards for that...but im not sure about those any more
agree-i use my card a lot-i had to max it out this time-i usually py it off every time-i have no interes on it

that is a lot of money, I would start saving it, don't go overboard with buying stuff though.

You can dream I guess. Just because some freak porn star has a big cock doesn't mean your little wang can bang!

Natural plz do not do this, it is not good to compare yourself to others it will only make you feel bad, you have accomplished a lot, and have plenty of money monthly, your moving on up.

Just keep trying to better yourself. Do not settle and do not be lazy. Get to know people, and don't burn bridges. I am not a know-it-all but I have been with this Fortune 500 company for 24 years. I started as a service technican and now I am a corporate manager overseeing the maintenance division. Not bragging, just letting you know that things are possible by just working hard and trying not to piss people off. Be proud of what you have accomplished already.

but thy have a retirement fund i contribute to

Not necessarily an IRA, but a Fidelity Magellen account...When the stock market is low, you buy shares in a good mutual fund,...(Fidelity) Then you let it ride until the market recovers,...and it will...after that you are free to use the money without ira early withdrawl penalties...You have to be careful not to just blow the money on crap after the market recovers...

What kind of PT are you? Do you work for a gym or are you independent? For your age and occupation  I think you are doing pretty good. If you are able to contributed to a savings account every payday then you are ahead of a majority of people who live pay check to pay check even though they make considerably more than you do.

Take your current clients to another gym that will let train as an independant contractor, don't charge by the session or in packages, charge by the month. If charge for example $450 month and you have 15 clients, that's $6750mo or $81k per year and you work no where's near 40hrs.

Do gyms allow independent contractors? I would think it's more in their interest to have their own staff that they can fleece.

900/ 40= 22.50 per hour. 1300 / 40= 32.50 an hour.

Not bad, not good. I have a shitty job, making $21 an hour. Every 2 weeks I'll work anywhere from 96 hours to 160 hours. Overtime flows like wine. I've cleared well over $2400 a paycheck, and this is in a country where I lose 30-45% in taxes depending on the amount. My shittiest paychecks tend to be about $1500 every 2 weeks, take home. I live in a two bedroom apartment, and drive a 1998 beater that works well. The rest goes into an investment account, my kid's RESP, life insurance, car insurance, saving's account, and bills.

It seems there is barely any time to do much more then work, work out, play with the kid and fuck the wife. I go out with the boys once a month, watch a football game and hit the strip joint. Where I live a half decent house runs you 600K+. $1300 is good for a 40 hour week, but I'd need a second job to survive on that money in general. I think in North America, anything under 70K a year and you're not living too well. Of course it depends where you live. 70K in Manhattan, or most of Cali, gets you a card board box. In some redneck county somewhere you might be able to live ok on it.
