Hey old friends, long time no see.
First I want to say the Lord has blessed me beyond measure. He has given and also taken from me for the good of His plan.
With that said, I can never get ahead didn’t mean to rhyme but I’ll just go with it.
I am asking this (not exact) but to just see what others feel regarding their income and if this is just a normal way of life.
I make between 40,000-45,000. I live alone in a modest apartment in Oregon. I work as a librarian assistant and occasionally will splurge on a book or two. Other than that, I cook my own meals at home, I watch movies at home, I exercise at home. No real extra expenses except monthly groceries and bills (electric, water, etc)
By the time the end of the month comes it seems as if there is nothing left for savings. Thankfully, I have no debt. You’d think I’d be able to save a little more than I do but nope.
Anyway- just curious to know. What is your ballpark range of income and do you feel “comfortable” or “strapped”. Reason I am asking is if there will ever be a time to just not even look at the bank account haha.
I know so many things factor in and we all have different budgets.
