Luigi_and_Tails 05/08/24 11:22:01 PM #44:	Yep, it's good money, but dependant on where you live and your circumstances. If you're living in bumfuck nowhere then that'll go a long way towards a comfortable life - but if you're living with a hefty mortgage somewhere spenny then you're probably barely scraping average. Post-tax I earn 5300 ($6600) per month but I also live in one of the most expensive parts of the country (average house prices are over 565k / $700k) so if I had a mortgage, I'd say my net salary was acceptable. --- No, I'm not that one. <cite>Luigi_and_Tails posted [p:980309637] in Is 5300 do...
