I woke up this morning when Google Calendar sent a txt to my phone informing me that I had been paid today! “What?! I just got paid 2 weeks ago!” I looked into it and yes I was paid. What I realized this morning was I had spent hardly nothing. As any true geek does, I punched numbers!
Total Cost to live = 20,459
So then that got me thinking, what is the lowest wage I could work for hourly as a backup plan? Just in case this whole Computer-guy thingie doesn’t work out ![]()
Minimum Wage (5.15/hr) = 9,888
Needed Wage = 10.65/hr
When I see numbers like this I am reminded WHY I don’t mind the jokes about my fully paid off car and motorcycle. Power to those that live within their means!
