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.

Gene, what is your job description?
How many hrs do you work per week?

Also depends on the cost of living where you live.

Good enough to open a Fidelity Magellan account and contribute regularly, do you get medical insurance?

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

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

What if you could make that by simply staying in bed?

I wouldn't say I'm rich, but I'm certainly well above average for my age.

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.

im a personal trainer
i work a 40 hours a week

Good enough to open a Fidelity Magellan account and contribute regularly, do you get medical insurance?
i pay for my med insuance-my job doesnt offer it to me
but thy have a retirement fund i contribute to

Are you making ends meet and saving as much as possible ?
im just making ends meet and i can save a bit every paycheck-couple hundered bucks every 2 weks

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.


ok

I wouldn't get out of bed for that shit.

Well I've never been married so what do I know :)  But you'd be doubling your income and probably combining some expenses, so that's good!

PTPS of your fiance if possible.

How's your hair gene?  If you ever wanted luxurious hair like Chick, you should start saving some money.




Cause a good salon is very expensive....to cut....the hair...you..grow..natura lly....
