That’s wild. If I was making 100k a year I’d be able to retire in a decade. I make about a third of that and I’ve got virtually everything a man could ask for.
Turning off that feature sure was among the better choices when it comes to my social media use and mental well-being. Knowing Lemmy, it’s probably my choice of transportation.
Are you living alone? That’s the only way I can make those numbers add up. I’ve got a similar lifestyle but repairs/food/dependants mean I need a significantly higher income to break even AND save for retirement.
I’d be living even cheaper than this if I was living alone. My average monthly expenses for the past 3 years have been 2989.22€ including retirement investments.

Wow, how is your cost of living so low?
I live in a tiny 75-year-old granny cottage, drive a 17-year-old truck, wear 10-year-old clothes, never eat out, and never travel anywhere.
Have you tried cutting back on avocado toast?
I wasn’t complaining
Well then you’re too perfect for this world. [a compliment few will ever deserve]
Chuckling at the downvotes, treatlers mad at your simple living I guess

okay. €. Here’s the catch. ask the americans what they pay for health insurance and childcare…
Why do I need to ask that? I know it’s expensive.
Really? I would have guessed jealousy, like a petty “tHeY hAvE iT EaSy” or something else small-minded. Either way, kudos!
I’ve lived that life and it’s fucking awesome. Congrats at winning. I hope I can join you soon.
I see your UK instance, is your “1/3 of that” in dollars or GBP? For context, 100k USD is currently about 77k GBP
I live in northern europe. Converted to dollars my current yearly income is a little over 33k USD.
Yeah, but you get all that free Socialized healthcare that we 'Muricans have to pay for
