What the fuck. Who spends 270 a month on health insurance but has a 100k job? Maybe if you have a full family. My company gives me full everything for 50. And who spends 250 dining out a month? Thats a fucking waste of money. If you are spending 400 a month on groceries, why do you need to spend 250 a month eating out? 400 a month is more than enough to eat plenty.

And 615 bucks on donations? Really what? What 25 year old spends an amount comparable to rent on monthly donations?

I suspect I could get similar rates if I could be bothered to change my contract every year.

Start by not making 615$ in donations, not dining out, not hiring a house cleaner, not paying health insurance, and not paying rent.

Alcohol may be included in groceries. Smoking is a bigger waste of money than the donations.

Because I make 100K too, except I don't pay rent (I own my place), health insurance (work covers it for me), or donations. I live in an extremely high tax country and I buy everything I want (whether buyfagging, tech shit, expensive booze or whatever) and I still manage to put away around 2.5-3K in net savings a month.

I spend 45 on spectrum, which is a very common internet provider for decent speeds. 100+ is only common if you have a single provider jacking up prices.

And honestly, I would love to spend 30 bucks a month on a house cleaner. Thats less than a meal at a nice restaurant and would save me 10 hours of cleaning shit myself a month.

And 300 a month in groceries makes sense if you are dumping 200 a month eating out. I spend 400 a month on groceries and less than 50 a month eating out, as in I eat out maybe twice a month at most. I could spend even less on groceries if I wanted to. I make too much food.

And 100 bucks for your cell? What the fuck are you doing? It shouldn't cost more than 50.

100k is probably gross, which puts net at around 70k (let's assume this guy is from California, in line with his 600$ a month in donations). Spending half your disposable income and saving the other half is pretty solid.

He loses about 30% of that to taxes. Then he saves the remainder I assume, though logically he probably goes on vacations and buys random shit. The budget probably just omitted discretionary spending.

The liberal dream.

That tweet is tongue-in-cheek, right?

Isn't capitalism all about competition? More capitalism, more competition, lower prices?

That is per month user.

Internet companies in the US get around anti-monopoly laws and so can do whatever the fuck they want. They jack up prices and also prevent anyone new coming in that might be able to make things cheaper (either through competition or through the laying of new lines/fiber). They might as well be mob families splitting up the country between themselves with a thin veil of pseudo-competition to prevent the government from going after them.

How the fuck does that work?

Curious myself. When I shared a place with 4 other people we split a house cleaner down the middle because we all worked full time and fuck cleaning. But it was like 150 a month for her to come every other week. Not 30. How the fuck is it 30? I can only guess he lives in a small studio.

That's the propaganda, yes.

ISPs are definitely an industry that tends towards monopolies.

There is nowhere in the US where 85k a year won't get you at least an okay apartment. Even san francisco and New York. I live in LA and have a decent studio for 1300 a month, which is disgusting but it sure as shit is affordable at 85k.

You are not living in a villa so big that you need a house cleaner if the rent is only 825 bucks.

Burger "capitalism" is about corporations that rival the size of some world governments forming cartels and using the state to prevent any new competition from entering the market.

I said house, user. I'm sick of throwing away money with rent.

If you live with your sister you can at least feign that it's more of a mutual thing. At least more easily than if you live with your parents.

Then don't live somewhere where houses cost closer to 7 figures than not. You either move or accept your apartment.

ISP are monopolistic due to government regulations. Think of it like your electric company or gas company. Both are private companies but hold total control over an area with no other competitors. Why is this, you ask? The original thought behind it was to reduce the amount of power lines that used to pollute city skies and reduced the amount of digging required to bury pipe lines and underground cables. It is cheaper to have one company provide a service for the city and pay them the subsidy difference to stay open.

>House cleaner: $30
>Donations: $615

How come you pay your house cleaner a below minimum wage job, while donating a large portion of your wealth?

I literally just dropped 200 euros on importing eroge. I consider this donations in order to support the developers.

Doesn't the UK have a system where you choose your electric company no matter where in the country you are, but they all use the same power lines?

I'm in the same boat as you. Purchasing a home on an $85k income is impossible here unless you don't mind a 2 hour commute to work and having to shake scorpions out of your shoes.

Well anime and manga are dirt cheap compared to video games. If you wanted all you would be paying for is the internet access on the top end and nothing at the bottom end by using public networks. I spend on wall scrolls and figures which get expensive fast but nowhere near the price of video games. Also NOT playing video games helps a lot too. I don't like palying video games so that is an expense I don't deal with. As for the other prices I live in a cheap place and make an average salary for my age and live alone.

This happened to DSP Gaming and he ended up begging his Twitch viewers to pay for the taxes and back-taxes he has to pay. And it fucking worked too.

$20 for decent internet is not at all unusual even in burgerland if you're sharing it with someone else, as most people do.

No, it's the lack of regulation that lets them charge so much. Industries like power and water are monopolistic because the cost of developing the infrastructure is enormous and you can't even begin to compete if you can't shoulder that cost. In order to prevent them from abusing the difficulty of establishing a competitor and to ensure people have consistent access to necessary utilities, the government regulates them. ISPs have lobbied to not be treated this way despite the fact that they fit the conditions perfectly, so they're still allowed to charge whatever the fuck they want. In the few places where services overlap, they just mirror each other because being subscription-based means they don't even have to communicate to establish a pseudo-cartel.

This is one of the few cases where the government should step in and tell the fuckers that data caps on $100/month connections is absolutely unacceptable.

That's data on the ISP's part, what we are talking about is carry line and digging rights, basically the physical line itself. Data is a separate issue which consumers will have to address. The government won't allow multiple carriers to have lines running under their roads, they don't want to have to shut down the road every time something goes wrong.

I'm around his age and Kate around 37,000 a year before taxes. I still have $30k saved up (mostly due to living with my parents for 1-2 years while working full time before moving out because I got a new job)

>Utilities (Electric/Gas/Water/Sewer) - $100

That leaves me with around $700 left over each month, give or take, which I usually save outside of the occasional game or the 1-2 big purchases I make each year (like the $850 gaming laptop I just bought).

"groceries" could be anything. Like, maybe he buys 2L bottles of Dr Pepper every day, or maybe he only drinks tap water. Maybe he eats meat every day, or maybe he has a vegetarian diet. Maybe he prepares and cooks complicated dishes every day, or maybe he's happy with a simple "spaghetti and tomato sauce" dish.

I have a STEM degree, only jobs where i live want to pay less than 1/4 of that.

He earns ~$8k monthly, $8k-$2.7k is probably stuff you listed.

Get less expensive parents.

The house cleaning is hardly the most egregious shit on that chart.

I think it's really apparent that the guy shares a house with multiple people, that's just his share of the house cleaner fee, his share of the internet fee, etc.

That chart is only of his SPENDING. It doesn't include taxes or savings. Taxes are going to be less than 25% and savings will be 50%+ of his gross.

I wouldn't say he's "good with money" based on how much he's spending on food, but he's sure as hell not doing badly in life.
