Drivers,there’s also something called LIVING WITHIN YOUR MEANS!!If you know your job isn’t paying you enough to cover your mortgage, then maybe you shouldn’t be looking at a house so soon in the game.
BEWARE of WERNER!!!

Heck, I make a little over $65,000 GROSS, and my wife makes about $40,000 GROSS working part-time as a nurse. We have one child, and live in a very high cost of living area in the west suburbs of Chicago. 2,200 square foot houses by me sell for $350,000. We rent a 1,250 square foot townhome for $1,500 per month, and we don’t struggle. We constantly add to our savings every month.
I’m not gloating, and we are not rich, but an individual making $40,000 GROSS can afford to live in 85% of the country. Maybe that person can’t afford a new truck, a boat, or a 5-bedroom house, but that individual is not in poverty.
None of what I’m saying is to defend Werner, I understand that they are the bottom of the bottom feeders, but knock off this $40,000 is poverty nonsense. If you live in Cali, then I understand where you are coming from. But, that would be what I call the exception, not the rule.MCMarshall Thanks this. -

Again, if you live in a lower cost of living area, like Jacksonville, Illinois, you could support a family of 4 on $47,000. No, you probably shouldn’t have cable, your cars should be older, and you should do all your grocery shopping Aldi, but it can be done.
You come off as if you live in a bubble.Lonesome Thanks this. -

But, even by me, in expensive as heck Wheaton, Illinois, you will do fine making $40,000 as a single individual. If you have 5 kids, that’s a different story.
