To live where I work, and have a comfortable life I would need to earn 5x my current hourly income, working full time.

About $240,000 /year at $115 /hour.

Maybe I did the math wrong, or approximated my costs wrong.

But houses are about $500,000 , & rents are about $3,000 to $3,500

Monthly groceries is about $400 to $600.

Car insurance is about $200 / month.

Gas is about $100 / month.

Phone is about $80 / month.

Am I crazy, or stupid?

This doesn’t include luxuries, just the basic necessities.

Ok, I re-ran the numbers.

The Annual Cost to Live where I work is about $48,230.16 / Year.

Mind you this doesn't include variable costs like gas, water, electricity, entertainment, or any other adult bills people have to pay.

(Medical Coverage is Covered by my employer).

That'll be the after tax cost, so then gross salary will have to be approx 80k (depending on the tax rates).

From what I can tell, at least according to this tool, it would be about $61,000.

But yeah, a solid $60,000 to $80,000 is about what most people are earning supposedly (Pre-Tax).

If youre in the US, look into MVNOs to replace whichever carrier youre considering for phone. You could probably save 50% of the phone bill.
