  I don’t think they mean they’re spending $250. Like they feel the need to earn $250 every working day, otherwise they can’t pay rent or whatever. Equates to an income of $65k.

    If you have dependents and live in a city, each day might be more like $500.

      Those are rookie numbers if you smoke crack and shoot heroin.

  Let’s tally up all your expenses, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, and what it costs you then Mr. Knowitall.

    Less than $250 a day hence why I made the comment then deleted it knowing I’d get smartass comments like this

      That makes you incredibly lucky, and doesn’t change that your comment is the smartass comment. Why would you assume your situation is normal or that you represent the average experience?

        I make significantly less than that and make more money than the median in both my own country (a decent bit more) and the US (a lot more). It is mathematically impossible for expenses that high to be the norm.

        If you have kids or other dependents like elderly or disabled family members in need of support, I’m sure it can get very expensive very fast, and it’s quite obvious the average american does not make enough money. But $250 a day is an insane number for an “average” person. Even if you pay 3k a month in rent idk how you would get to that number.

        Fwiw my own recurring daily expenses (disregarding things like saving for holidays and such bc otherwise it’s just my income) including saving up money as a safety net/for retirement are around 70€. More than triple that seems pretty unfathomable to me even in a country with even higher cost of living.

        What makes you think that I think that? Most people live on less than that. The average income in the US is way less than that. Stop posting nonsense.
