working less than 30 hours a week.
Now I am a poor man and that is a lot of money for me.
But I wonder how true is that statement of his?
Would most people agree and virtually everyone in the USA saves at least that much working less than 30 hours a week? I always thought the US was the land of credit card debt and loan debt?
I would love to hear peoples' opinions on this because I have some pretty smart friends in the USA who don't save that much and have good jobs and usually work 50+ hours a week and are still paying off debt on credit cards and loans.
So I realise that saving 20k a year isn't much but is Bezerk right? Virtually everyone saves that much working less than 30 hours a week in the USA?

you have shitty bodybuilding genetics.

It depends I guess....If i didn't pay alimony..I could do that. But I would rather max out a Roth. Income level, where u live etc all matter...expenses. 20k would be great..but most people don't, even if they could.

I am well aware of this; you don't need to remind me. >:( I recognise it every time I look in the mirror. :-\

I appreciate your honest answer despite our differences on many matters HH6. :)

I said everyone in the United States does? I said anyone with a good work ethic and some brains can probably do it. Don't get upset and try to put words in my mouth because you're a scumbag who had to cut and run to Korea.

Illegal immigrant becomes director of the brain tumor program at Hopkins. Wonder what he would have said if he had to listen to a whining pussy like you tell him he couldn't save $20k a year in America. Probably laugh in your face.
Americans have a penchant for spending. But there are a large number of people out there who manage to put that kind of money away, working 40 hours a week. Just because you couldn't doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Putting words in my mouth and trying to spin what I said is equivalent to a meltdown and this whole thread stems from your blatant contempt for a country that stuck it to you because you couldn't hack it. :D

20,000 is realistic but getting very hard to do in this economy.
-
Let's put this into perspective as well. Deicide hasn't lived in America for years. So don't blame the economy. Let's look at it when he was last living in America, which if I had to guess, was likely near the end of the Clinton era, when the economy was fine for saving $20k a year.
The guy wasn't even raising a family, probably lived at home and his bills were probably minimal. He should have been able to easily put $20k a side every year. He couldn't. The dude's a failure and blames it on his degree.

BF is Jewish so he's in a different realm :D

Deicide wasn't saving 20k a year in the Clinton, hence Deicide is a failure; wow, that's brilliant logic there.

Hahahaha!!!!! Am I now? At least I'll be able to manage money better than Deicide. ;D

Don't hate because the only thing your Indian blood is good for is alcoholism. :D

You think because you couldn't save 20k a year that no one else in this country could? BRILLIANT logic. Moron. I bet you were just out of college to boot. More and more you just prove to me that you're pissed off at America because you couldn't hack it with your Lib Arts degree.
-
He's an academic..in a foreign country. I woul not imagine he could save that much. I don't know how old he is but if he's young he has plenty of time. Maybe during that time he will wise up politically as well.

I never said other people couldn't; I just said it is difficult for most people.
Are you a Zionist by chance?

BF, did you know the average savings is the lowest since the great depression... If you're surrounded by people who easily sock away 20k a year, You're either Chinese or Jewish :D

I'm not Jewish and wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep if Iran and Israel were to blow each other off the map tomorrow. Let me guess, you hate Jews? I wouldn't be surprised. You probably blame them for the fact that your community college Liberal Arts degree is worthless and the reason you had to run to Korea. ;D
The only reason I like Israel is because they absolutely embarrassed six Muslim countries at the same time and from which they still haven't recovered today. Cracks me up. They live with that shame every day.
Religion sucks. Jews suck, Christians suck. But Muslims suck more than everyone else combined. ;)
I don't mind Buddhists, though.

Hugo, again, it's not about me. It's about this twat implying that the only people capable of saving $20k a year live in Korea and teach English. He's raging for his failed life.
I do enjoy BF threads. I usually turn them into gems. This one is well on its way as well.

Ok geniuses...forget this shit I need some help. My redneck neighbor and his idiot band have been blowing off gobs of fireworks. He has a garage full of them...and boys I am not exaggerating. Two idiots were shooting them at each other earlier. The chief of police lives 3 doors up and the captain lives across the street. Nobody cares.....he's blowing up all kinds of shit..I'm rapidly going into flashback mode. The dogs are freaking. I have an 80lbs golden in my lap as I type this. I couldn't even leave this weekend because I was worried about the house. I have para flare and red paper crap all over the place. I hate this guy...he is the guy u don't want to live next to. We hate each other, guy is a monster douche. The damm cops roll by and wave. If this keeps up I'm camoing up and I think I might take him out. Its like goddamm Basra right now....
-
Yeah it would be easy to poke back almost 400 dollars every week after taxes . ::)
If you are talking saving it with a 401 k or something that is different. When you are single with no dependants they tax the shit out of you.I don't make a lot of money, between 55 and 60k per year and I have already paid in almost 7k in taxes this year.
-
Yeah but ur in Indiana and thats not bad. I live in Missouri and the cost of living is very low as well. 55-60 is starting pay for a cop in LA. Its all relative to where u live. If u givea colleg student with no bills and no debt...that would go along way.....for me that would be a pay cut and kill me.

I have a buddy who graduated last year, makes $85k a year working 40 hours a week in the leadership program for an insurance company here in Connecticut. He saves $20k a year easily. Been out of school a year. I'm reckon by the time he's 28 or so he'll be saving more.
Deicide couldn't do that out of college so he ran to Korea and blames America for it. The guy refuses to blame himself for his failures.
Team Meltdown!

Agreed.

Again, not everyone in the country can do it. But a lot of people can. Deicide said it can't be done in America because he couldn't do it. That's all I was saying and nothing more.

I have an honours degree from SUNY Binghamton; not a community college:
According to the 2008 BusinessWeek rankings, the School of Management was ranked 40th overall in the nation. 15th among Public Schools. SOM ranked 11th in the nation by recruiters, 10th by highest median starting salary, 11th for placement, 20th for MBA placement (by percent of students entering a top 35 MBA program), 14th lowest cost and 15th overall school among all public schools/40th among all schools public and private. The school is in the top 4 Business Schools in New York State, along with NYU, Columbia University and Cornell University and has recently moved ahead of schools such as Syracuse University and Boston University. [18]The accounting program is top 10 in CPA examination scores and with the finance concentration is the 3rd largest feeder to the Big 4 accounting firms.
According to Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine, Binghamton University was ranked the #1 best value 2007 and #2 in 2008.
In the Spring 2008, Forbes Magazine ranked Binghamton 16th among all public schools and 57th among all schools public and private. [19] This placed them behind such schools as the University of Rochester, Georgetown and Duke, and ahead of such school as Penn State, American University, Ohio State University, Virginia Tech and UMASS-Amherst.
In August 2007 Binghamton was ranked 82 out of 262 [20]schools on the US News and World Report's "America's Best Colleges: National Universities: Top Schools"[21] (The publication only ranks the top 124 schools). This is the highest rank of all SUNY universities.
Arts and Sciences: Binghamton is 19th in Chemistry, 13th in Historical Sociology, 15th nationally and 19th world wide in Political Science and 9th in Anthropology.[22]
Binghamton is listed on Greene's Guide to Colleges as one of the Public Ivies.
Fisk Guide to Colleges has labeled Binghamton as, "The Premier Public University in the Northeast," a statement that has become prominent in marketing efforts.
Binghamton has the third highest four-year graduation rate among public schools (behind University of Virginia and The College of William & Mary).
Not the best, but a good school and because it is public I have no debt. :)

I don't blame America for anything like that. I think American foreign policy sucks. What does that have to do with saving money?
-

What does foreign policy have to do with this thread? You put words in my mouth saying that I said every American could save $20k a year.

Big D, did you say something about only being able to save 20k if you live outside the US? Because I think the advantage might of course be toward living in Korea if you're making a US wage. Either way I'm not sure what the fuss is about. The facts are simple. US citizens are saving the least since the great depression. If you live in an lower cost of living situation, you'll be able to save more than others. Pretty basics shit here. I don't know what the controversy is over.

My whole argument has nothing to do with the present. This guy was implying that no one could save $20k a year when he was here. He wasn't here when the economy went into the shitter.
Talking about saving $20k now and six to ten years ago are two completely different things.

BF, you're jewish, stop that denial stuff now... Don't worry, we still love you 8)
-
What does foreign policy have to do with this thread? You put words in my mouth saying that I said every American could save $20k a year.
Your entire thesis is based on the false conclusion that I left the USA because I couldn't save money there; but when I left for Korea I had been living in Europe for nigh ten years. I left the USA because it didn't coincide with my intellectual interests. I left Europe because it was easier to save here than there and I am going back to Europe very soon because I love the lifestyle, the history, the women and a host of other things. As I said your entire thesis is misplaced and false.
-
BF, you're jewish, stop that denial stuff now... Don't worry, we still love you 8)
I love how you tell me what I am. Apparently you know better than me. ::)
Don't be upset that your American Indian blood will most likely lead you to alcoholism.
Although I do get a kick out of your Jew hate. Sup MattC!

I never used the word 'only' Hugo; I used the word 'easier'; Bezerk twisted it around and turned into an ad hominem about my alleged failure in the USA. You and I both have similar issues with the USA; foreign policy, monetary policy, etc. My criticism has nothing to do with an alleged failure. Cost of living is low in Korea (as you know).

that's true. two different things... I still think this whole argument is silly. Why not reduce this to the simple facts and be done? It's true, today he'll more likely be able to save in a lower cost of living situation. If this is only about the late 90's then it's also true, he shouldn't have a hard time, if he works hard to be able to sock away 20k a year. All of this really means jack. The only thing I see that really matters is that Americans today are saving the least amount since the Great Depression. The rest is relative.

Ten years ago I hadn't finished my degree yet.
I never implied anything Mr. Fury; all I said is that it is easier to save 20k a year in Korean than the USA and that is a fact; ask Hugo; I left for Korea in 2006; that fact would still apply then.

You'll only find posts where I am negative toward Zionism which is a political/religious ideology not a people... You won't find me hate'n on Jews. I know and like to many to be like that. My issue is with the ideology of Zionism. BF, you're a Jew and I like U :D

Hahahaha! Like my Iraq point of view, this zionism thing cracks me up. It is what it is. Israel isn't going anywhere without taking 3/4 of the Middle East with them. Jews are no better than Muslims crying about wanting sharia law implemented wherever they are. The only difference is that the Jews don't take to blowing up people on buses to get their way. Don't bother referencing the Jewish terrorist organizations of fifty years ago because I'm talking about the now and the Muslims had just as many, if not more then.
To be honest, this world functions on war. I feel that whatever land is earned through war is yours. Israel fought off 1/2 a dozen countries to stay in that land. As far as I'm concerned it's theirs. Anyone saying they should give it back and leave is a hypocrite considering America is a country built on the same exact thing, much like most of Europe and the rest of the world. The only reason people have a problem with Israel doing it is because they're Jews, which boils down to religion being the root of all problems.
Call me a Jew for that or whatever. I prefer war monger, however.
And anyone that says the USA's problems with terrorists would go away if we stopped supporting Israel is a fucking idiot.
bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.....
Allah Akbar!

This is funny, BF, can you imagine what it would be like if people where not allowed to have negative opinions about various concepts put forth by Jewish groups; if we were to be held to every negative opinion equating to antisemitism? Would that not be Jewish Supremism? Yup... I do Jews the honor of not treating them any differnet than me or anyone else and if there something I don't like, I say so.

dang... I was more saying that stuff to jab a funny at our past go around on this... I didn't really think we would go through it all again :D Serious BF... I don't have much of an issue with you and I'm bustin your balls on the Jewish thing. I have issues with zionism but that does not mean I want to see the state of Israel gone, that is not a solution.
-
Where did I imply that Jews shouldn't be criticized?
I don't want to criticise Jews, I want to be free to criticise Jewish Policies without being antisemitic. That kind of accusation has been leveled toward me oh... about a billion times... I recognise even the slightest suggestion of it by now :)

Hahaha, I'm not going into it again. I'm just felt like pointing out some reasoning. I've got nothing better to do. It's cloudy here so I can't launch fireworks and I've been drinking and eating since 11 am at two different picnics. Just shooting the shit as the day draws to a close.

You think I could win her over with my pro-destruction of Islam stance? She looks like that type of girl.
As the politics board female rep, I am going to say a huge no. We tend to be more into peace, love, kittens stuff like that not warmongering talk. I would even say the dreaded 'hows the weather' may be better then war talk.

Oh good grief. ::) Sounds like someone lacks a little self confidence. Constant attack threads.
And BF is right: quit calling yourself an "academic." You're not. You teach ESL in a foreign country. You're a missionary, not an academic. Nothing wrong with that.

We hate each other, guy is a monster douche. The damm cops roll by and wave. If this keeps up I'm camoing up and I think I might take him out. Its like goddamm Basra right now....
I would say pack everyone up (dog too) and head to the beach (which we're about to do). :) Seriously, even though they're ignoring it, I'd call the police.

i work 35-40 hours/week (i run my own biz) and i think im saving more than that a year :)
I hate you >:( I spend almost twice that >:( I hate myslelf... fuck this.. >:(

Oh good grief. ::) Sounds like someone lacks a little self confidence. Constant attack threads.
And BF is right: quit calling yourself an "academic." You're not. You teach ESL in a foreign country. You're a missionary, not an academic. Nothing wrong with that.
Beach Bum, you have been called out multiple times for being a pathogical liar; you have nothing to contribute here. Ferme la bouche!
And remember, you believe in talking snakes and rib women.... ::)

That's good. Mostly depends on what you have studied. If I could go back I would have slightly altered the trajectory of my studies into something more marketable. Oh well.

I think its not all about what you studied but the family behind you. I studied business & economy, but without my parents support i would have never be able to start a biz since the banks do not support people at all here.

learned, erudite, bookish, etc... can also be someone who works at an institute of higher learning.

If I bought two less pairs of shoes a year, I could easily save 20k in about 28-33 years, no prob.

It pretty much means "shut your mouth." Deicide, tu es tres bete. Ferme la bouche, s'il vous plait.

Thanks Deedee. I'd like to know what Deicide thinks the word means, particularly as it relates to him.

If I quit buying Krispy Kreme doughnuts for my kids every time I go to Maui I could save about $20k in about 40 years.

no, I'm not that. but for real, are you serious, there are actually chicks that come in and keep the guy hard? I've watched a few sessions being shot and there was none of that.
As far as I know it's real. If I had to guess I would say that they were around in the old days before viagra and drugs were available to do their job.
And after googling it, apparently wikipedia says the same thing.

That's Shay Laren with brown hair. I have no idea how old the gif is but I reckon she's around 18 in it because it's been around on the internet for at least a few years. I had no idea who it was for a long time until I accidentally stumbled across it.
Personally, I think she's hotter as a brunette but that's probably because I'm a brunette guy. I love this avatar, though. ;D

I like them all, hair colour wise. Her hair is quite a bit shorter so it must be older. I have to find this video. That looks so hot.

I haven't been able to find it myself. Took me long enough just to find out who it was in the gif. :'(
I like them all but darker hair is always hotter. :D

If I have to pick, I'll agree with you, darker is hotter. But there are some blondes that bend the rule and blow my mind.

Most definitely. Can't disagree with that.

I have worked at a German university before.
But in describing myself as an academic I would ascribe to myself the bookish criterion and a background heavily steeped in the Classics; Latin, Greek, Sturm und Drang, etc...

That should actually be institution of "higher" learning. Here is how the term is generally used:
An academic is a person who works as a researcher (and usually teacher) at a university or similar institution in post-secondary (or tertiary) education. He or she is nearly always an advanced degree holder who does research. In the United States, the term academic is approximately synonymous with that of the job title professor although in recent decades a growing number of institutions are also including academic or professional librarians in the category of "academic staff." In the United Kingdom, various titles are used, typically fellow, lecturer, reader, and professor (see also academic rank), though the loose term don is often popularly substituted. The term scholar is sometimes used with equivalent meaning to that of "academic" and describes in general those who attain mastery in a research discipline. It has wider application, with it also being used to describe those whose occupation was research prior to mass organized higher education.
. . .

With that in mind, if you are using the term to describe yourself because you are "bookish" that is one thing, but if you teach ESL to elementary school kids in Korea and on that basis consider yourself an academic, you are way off base.

In Germany I taught linguistics courses to university students as well as advanced grammar and reading comprehension; I was an 'academic' then and I am doing something else now and my methodology and approach remain academic as is my background. Look at the dictionary definition.

Dude. You're teaching ESL to elementary school kids. I'm not trying to diss your work, because it is important, but you misused the term.
I doubt that when people use the term "academic" they are referring to elementary school teachers. Look at the excerpt I posted.

20K in 2000 is now only worth $11,800 against the Euro today.
How mindboggling is that?
If you had put that 20K into Euros in 2000, it'd be worth 30k today LOL... sad sad sad.

Most Americans seem not to travel internationally that much, I think if they did and had the "fun" of the exchange rates at present they would be far more concerned.

New York is worst city to build wealth - survey
Monday June 30
If you'd like to build a nest egg with your paycheck, it may be time to give up New York and head for Plano, Texas.
A survey by pay experts at Salary.com evaluated 69 cities with more than 250,000 people and ranked the Big Apple last. Plano came in first among American cities in which to build personal wealth.
The survey, based on census data and Salary.com analysis, focused on local salaries, the cost of living and unemployment. Secondary factors, such as diversity of the local economy, residents' education, percentage of population below poverty level and commute time were also measured.
According to the survey, the top five cities are home to some of the nation's largest companies and have recorded strong periods of growth. Following first-place Plano came Aurora, Colo., Omaha, Neb., Minneapolis and Albuquerque N.M.
New York's diverse economy and highly-educated residents couldn't save it from sinking to the bottom due to its high cost of living and paychecks that just aren't "inflated" enough to make up the difference, the report stated.
Following last-ranked New York were Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Honolulu and San Francisco.
