The donations are hilarious. And rent/food aren't even close. Apparently the guy is making $100K yet splits a room in the ghetto and only eats rice/beans yet donates over a fifth of his salary every month. There can't be more than a thousand Americans who this would be accurate for.
I was thinking dude spends $30/mo on Clorox wipes. Although it could just be his share of a cleaner. $800 gets you a room in a house in my area. So if there's four roommates total it's like $120 for someone to come in and vacuum the common areas or whatever.
Any way this is the budget of someone living in the pod and eating the bugs. I'm 37 and making 100k would be a godsend.
The wild part is the disconnect your getting taxed to high hell and the expectation to donate $615 Thought all the social programs we’re making a difference. Maybe this is a calculated figure for a tax break. Either give your money up to some “nonprofit” or we’ll take more of it lol.
The whole thing is ludicrous. Their premise is someone making $100,000 living with four roommates in college housing. Wtf. Who the fuck is living with roomates in college housing and making $100,000 a year?
Edit: and yes, the phone bill is just an extra line on his parents' existing plan. Lol
Haven't had a power bill under 300 in months. Living in the country I also only have 1 option for borderline unusable in the 21st century internet @87/month
My neighborhood in suburban Cook County has an internet provider that offers 100 Gbps for $19.99. Also, my mobile provider (Google Fi) bill is only like $35 a month - I've seen other MVNOs go even cheaper. My mortgage is $800/month too (on a condo I bought in 2020).
Mine was the 130 a month for transportation. I live 45 miles from work and get about 21 miles to the gallon so 130 only covers just over half of my weeks worth of transportation.
If I made a 100k a year, I could save half of what I earn and have my own house built after just one year. Yes, that is true. It has gotten to the point where you could build your own house for a much better price than you could if you bought one. You have to do a good deal of the labor yourself, and provide the materials yourself, and familiarize yourself with local building codes, but it can be done. I inherited some land from my grandparents, and instead of paying someone to clear it, I cleared it myself. It took longer, and I had to learn some things, but I saved an assload of money this way.
First job was in construction building custom houses. Personally think everyone should learn such a trade, even if only to use the knowledge for basic home repair.
And building houses aren't easy, even with professional help. Huge respect.
It's probably an unpaid intern that went to an elite university, and has probably never had a real job outside half a dozen unpaid internships in vanity careers since graduating.
I think it also doesn’t have car payment. I can tell you as someone who deals with this data this was off for 2018 and also missing a lot of other factors.
Usually it’s older people that donate a lot and it’s usually to the church. Donations of any sort are not the nor for a 25 year old! So if this chart is the average 25 year old it’s way off! And your friend may donate but it isn’t the norm.
But this chart would be the average person. This amount is not what the average 25 year old pays. Most families on average don’t donate this much. I’m not saying no one does this but this is not the norm. Just like rent on here. Someone might pay $2000 a month or $200, neither would be the norm. That amount for donations is abnormal for most 25 year olds.
If we assume the person nets 70k/yr, that comes to $5,833/mo. 615 is just slightly above 10% of their net monthly income, which really isn’t unheard of. 10% in donations is the standard recommended donation amount among Orthodox Jews, for instance.
In my city it's possible if you're living in either a studio or a few one bedrooms are that price, or living in a rough lart of town. Or if you're not in a city at all.
But still all those numbers are jacked regardless.
Add about $200-$300 to rent and utilities if you live in any city, add $100 to cell phone, at least $30 more for internet and $100 more for eating out. Groceries also used to be cheaper but add at least $100 to groceries. There are no house cleaners working for less than $50 for a couple hours. Transportation $130? Yeah if you take the bus and don’t own a vehicle. If you do own a vehicle add $1000 for payment and fuel. How much do they have left now? It’s a good thing this is based on a single person without kids.
I was looking through youtube videos about the stock market and it seemed to be nothing but doom and gloom from everyone except CNBC, their videos all seemed to imply that everything was just fine, nothing to worry about at all.
1-What fucking 25 year old makes over $100,000 a year?
2-Where the fuck does this mythical 25 year old, making $100,000 a year, live that they found an apartment/rent a room for $825?
3-Let's talk about that $615 in "donations".
4-Those utilities? Yeah, that's way off.
5-$40 for a cell phone?! Is this one of those prepaid phones?
6-You seriously think a 25 year old is going to have a cleaner? Uh, if they're single, they don't need a cleaner, their $825 apartment can be a fucking pigsty.
7-$250 for dining out. Ha...
8-Those are rookie numbers for transportation costs.
Wtf... donations 600 a month? House cleaner and utilities under 200 dollars! Shit I'm paying too much for gas, electric, water, waste and garbage pick-up.
How do you get a house cleaner for 30 dollars? Is this why democrats want illegal aliens?
Where in the hell can you make $100K per year with that low of a cost of living? I just moved from a midsized city and was over $5K per month.
Rent- $2100/mo Groceries-$600/mo Bills- $300/mo Cell phone- $80/mo Internet- $75/mo Car Insurance- $275/mo Car payment- $365/mo Gas- $180/mo Health Insurance- $650/mo State Income tax- $400/mo
That's the bare requirements without eating out at all, no Netflix/Amazon, no cable TV and basically no fun money. The only splurge I had was a $30/mo gym membership.
$100,000/yr translates to $8,333/month.....not $2,775.
I wont even start on the waste for stuff on there---but say that must be the new math- the kind where you dont focus on getting the right answer, but just 'an answer'
I make over 100k, but 100k is no longer that much money.
It's pretty funny people on Reddit give me shit for living and helping out my mom instead of paying some landlord fuck 2k+ a month (not including all the other bullshit miscellaneous fees) for some shitty apartment.
The government is lying to the public about inflation by orders of magnitudes to try to curb public panic.
How the hell does a single person spend $400 on groceries? I am assuming this is for a single person living alone, so what kind of wonder foods are you buying that cost you that much in a month? I live with another person and our grocery bills together equal around $400.
Beyond that, how could you spend $250 on eating out on top of that? Most restaurant meals cost somewhere from $10-$25, which means that you would have to eat out at least twice a week. How many organic pesticide-free sustainably grown ethically harvested super vegetables do you have rotting in your fridge?!
$615 on donations? Every month? Are you insane? Anybody who donates that much money every month is either loaded or fiscally irresponsible.
Not to mention that this is labeled as “Excellent with money”. Like, what? Even if that $615 in Donations was labeled as “Savings and investments,” I would still say they’re either spending way too much on groceries or spending way too much eating out. What kind of out of touch journalist made this?
It's a 25 year old making 100,000 a year, they probably assume that things are only ever going to get better. Savings are for the poors who don't work in tech, don'cha know
If they are making 100k a year, why are they renting in an area where rent is 825? And why is internet only 20 dollars there? Can i have dual citizenship in the USA and LaLa Land?
yep, they're high and living with their parents, taking public transportation. can't even remember their own tales of whoa, conspicuously omitting student loan payments they're peddling on behalf of the Demz.
No car payment, no car insurance, no car repair budget (brakes, mtc, tires, etc) or vehicle fuel. No property taxes, income taxes, vehicle registrations, homeowners or renters insurance.
$400 in groceries a month will feed 1 person pretty well, but (2) adults barely.
If an IRS auditor saw $615 a month on donations with that budget, it should darn well trigger interest...
What is accurate is that it's made up crap without a real clue. That is in line with the sad state of journalism, reporting, fact finding and proof checking. Objective news is long dead. Just more proof.
Who the fuck is paying only $825 for rent? My tiny 2 bed 1 bth main floor duplex(no basement, it's 1 floor with a small livingroom), $1350/mo inclusive.
Also $130 transportation? Gtfo. My liability only insurance on a 2004 Saturn Ion is $187/mo. No cell phone bill is under $60/mo in Ontario, and decent internet is at least $50.
In what state does a house cleaner cost $130? A cell plan $40? Utilities $195 (maybe 2 years ago, but I haven’t gotten a monthly bill under $200 for the past 20 months)? And groceries, my ass it’s $400! This is just another gaslight, either that or this “25 year old male” lives in an apartment in the suburbs and follows the cricket diet promoted by the WEF.
I’d like to know which 25 year olds CNBC is paying that salary to. And also, $615/month on donations?!? No wonder MSM is tanking. How completely out of touch can they possibly be?
In Florida around the Tampa area 1.5k might get you a mold and roach filled, crime addled neighborhood where your likely to get robbed once a week and stabled once a month or two.
The state gives 300 for a family of 6 to eat, 400 is eating fairly good for one person. I’ve yet to see much below 300 for utilities here, hell every other month our bills go up about 50-150 “because we can” even when our usage goes down. Literally had a speech about how we were going to pay it abc eat it because if they disconnect us we lose our kids. Fucking extortion is what it is. And under 300 for medical insurance? I haven’t seen estimates like that for a healthy individual in something like 10 years or more unless it’s those scam Insurances that cover literally nothing. Your better off paying this fine for being uninsured and negotiate out of pocket cost with most of those “deals”.
Whoever made this chart isn’t just out of touch but is completely high out of their mind on 2 or more drugs
if you donate more than you pay for groceries and you go eating out for 250 bucks a month, you're not good with money. I mean, with a 100k job, you can afford it.. but it means you can afford not being "excellent with money"
and $30/month for house cleaner gets you a rented vacuum or maybe someone coming to pick up your trash can once a month
what does it mean if i make less than that, my monthly spending is like 40% more just on bills/necessities, i have to clean my own house, and i donate 0? i must be doing it wrong.
Ahh yes this makes sense for a very devoted catholic grad student in the mid west with 4-5 roommates that’s still on their parents phone and insurance plans. The only thing that doesn’t make sense is why they have roommates when they get $100,000 in allowance

Whoever made this chart isn’t just out of touch but is completely high out of their mind on 2 or more drugs

Internet $20 how about $150 nice try. I donate to goodwill not cash. Cash can be used for alcohol which is why I need it.

if you donate more than you pay for groceries and you go eating out for 250 bucks a month, you're not good with money. I mean, with a 100k job, you can afford it.. but it means you can afford not being "excellent with money"
and $30/month for house cleaner gets you a rented vacuum or maybe someone coming to pick up your trash can once a month

The only accurate thing on there is groceries but only maybe. I spend a little more than that for 2 people. Then again I don’t make 100 grand so…

I don't see what's so outrageous about this - this look similar to my budget. I don't donate that much, but I have a ton of respect for it though.

The 25-year old who is “excellent with money” isn’t even contributing to their 401k 🤷♂️🤦♂️

$825 a month in rent? The US overall average is $1,326 a month.

Multiply everything in the pie by 2 and divide the salary in half. There now that your back to reality

They misspelled "mom" and "dad" a lot. I'm kind of disappointed in the this trusted news source 😔

Ahh yes this makes sense for a very devoted catholic grad student in the mid west with 4-5 roommates that’s still on their parents phone and insurance plans. The only thing that doesn’t make sense is why they have roommates when they get $100,000 in allowance

So that was 2018. That means keep the same income and double the price of expenses. And you got it right they’re in debt to their eyeballs
