Before or after bills?

Roughly about 350 euros (too lazy to do the math)

I'm 21 years old and am a student and have a job for 4.5 hours a week. Also I live in the Netherlands.

I dont know about American money but you can convert if you want. I earn NZ $20 an hour. I work 2 hours a day, 3 times a week. NZ $120 before tax. After tax I get $100 and 90 cents or something. So every "month"/four weeks, I get $400.
I'm 16. All that money is pocket money pretty much, to be spend however I want.
I work at a funeral home. I put the nice frilly stuff in caskets. Good, easy money.

No sorry. I only work in £s.....

Before bills, but after taxes, about $2400 a month. After bills ----->:mad:

about NZ$1500 a month, living at home still (no cost for board and fk all for food). Convert that how how like.

It would have been less than US$750 about 5 years ago. Now's the time to holiday in the US, perhaps.

After tax and loan repayment deductions about £1040 or about $1775 or there abouts

25year old IT technician

Ours are legal though :p

About $610 USD. Most of it goes on getting drunk. I'm an 18 year old student, all of that cash comes from the Scottish government because I'm in full time education :)

Gross, Net, before paying bills, or after paying bills? What about groceries, gas, and other living expenses? (ie. disposeable income or net income).

I get 70 Euro a month. Its a hand out, on a bank account with no intrest. Prior to this, I made approx. 300 US Dollars every two weeks, real income. Take which ever you want.

Most of both is spent on books.

Oh, 16 years. Forgot that, you probably need it.

Student, 20 years - part time job, lives with parents.

Before car...probably about 200 bucks (Aussie Bucks) a week.
After car...nothing. What-a-bitch.

I'm 20 years old. I am a Student/Security Guard. I make roughly $1200 Canadian Dollars a month. I also still live with my parents. So most of that I can use, I do have to pay for school though which is about $3000 a semester with books.

Why not? We are having half price sales on our hookers this time of year! ;)so what are the prices around the world anyways?

so what are the prices around the world anyways?Depends on what quality you're looking for.

Yep, anything from a 5 dolla sucky sucky from a crackwhore, to a $10,000 night with 5 long legged ladies who know more tricks than Harry Huddini.

Gotta love American capitalism. Everyone can get some! :D

I have nothing! Seriously... I hate being a student... :(

25yrs old. Marketing. Living in spain

after tax: 1400€ =/= $1652

Also get overrides. generally between $246 and $944. average about 3 of these a month.

20 year old student.
£550/month in total: student loan + part time wages combined.
Minus rent, bills, tuition fees.
Equals £250/month roughly - $436.50.

During semester - about $400 US a month ($150 Australian dollars a week).

During peak times (late October- late December) - $800-$1200 a month. ($250-$400 AUD/Week)

During other times - $600-800 a month. ($200-$250/Week)

I'm 19, and a university student. No car, and i live with parents.

Ours are legal though :p
oh yeah?! well, ours have diseases you can't even PRONOUNCE! ;)


anyway, during the year, $200 a month
summer, $700 a month
19, student year, lifeguard summer

21 years old.
Full-time college student.
Part-time (18-21 hr/wk) employee in the university library's Interlibrary Loan dept.
After taxes usually around 400-425 USD.

Then comes rent, electric, water, internet, having a fiancée, and food. Usually in that order.

I'm a technical writer for IBM, 34 yrs old. Female, if that matters.

After tax and other payroll deductions: $3,110.00 Canadian = 2,611.57 USD

After mortgage, car payment, charitable donations, and bills -- it doesn't sound as good as it looks. Although the months where I get 3 checks per month are pretty darn sweet.

Edit: I just hauled out a pay stub. My bi-weekly gross is $2,165.89. Multiplied by 2 that's $4,331.78. In US dollars, that's $3,638.68 per month.

Dammit. I hadn't really realized before that I lose $1,200 off every paycheque before I even see it. Oh well.

That's a lucrative job.

Before bills, about $2,600/month. Since I don't pay taxes, that represents after-tax income. After bills, including food, etc., I usually have about $400 left over. I should be debt-free sometime this coming Summer, and plan to buy a bit of land and a new ( to me ) car. Other than that, everything is giong to go into a trust fund for my family. :)

38 Male, Uni Degree.

I GROSS $780 biweekly. At my current tax rate I NET $648 biweekly - which means I get to support myself & disabled wife on $1404/mo (her $750 Disability cheque covers her Medical expenses with about $50 left over).

After paying $277/mo on my useless student loan and another $1128 on regular bills (Home, Food & Fuel) I have precicely NEGATIVE $1 left over from my check.

Which means I have net monthly disposable funds of $49.00.

Pretty good for a College Grad... :headbang:

My gross monthy income is about $3400 US. After taxes, insurance, child support, mortage, and other bills there's not much left.

That's a lucrative job.
350 Euros / 4.5 hours = prostitute?

The small government is effectively ruled by the Department of Commerce, with areas such as Defence and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 3%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry.

Well, if you really want to be like the 'ol man, you have to join the Army, then jump out of a plane with a faulty chute.

VA Disability pensions are Tax Free.

Oh, so instead of being a taxpayer, he's a tax eater.

I think I'd rather be member of the productive class.

As a libertarian who's not for bottomless-pit-policy social welfare, I feel that any country that would send it's own young to war and NOT pay for their care after an injury to be completely morally bankrupt.
That's stomach-turning, to say the least.

LOL! Kewl!

My disability income from the military is tax-free, so the small amount I get from Social Security doesn't total enough per year to fall into the lowest tax bracket. :D

Well, if you are a USian and you don't pay taxes, yet expect the Police Department to protect you, the Fire Department to put out your house, and the State to maintain the roads for you, then you are a "tax eater."

And (speaking as a Libertarian) if your country is responsible for you getting fucked up, then they owe you quite a lot.

I get about $1900 a month. After all my bills, however (income tax, car tax, car insurance, car loan, phone bills, standing order of $150 to a saving account, etc etc), I have about $600 left to play with.

It would have been less than US$750 about 5 years ago. Now's the time to holiday in the US, perhaps.

Hmm, I know a certain political thing that happened 5 years ago ;)

That's a lucrative job.

No, I also get quite some money from the state because I'm a full time student :)

Right back atcha. Common sense dictates that if we removed all of the benefits of enlistment, numbers would sink to insecure depths. Conscription would be made necessary, and we'd all be severely fucked come the draft if we were injured.

That's just bad policy, even aside from the obivous ethical problems of abandonment and ingratitude.

This isn't what I'd call a 'benefit' of service. More like part of a contractual obligation. Active duty ruined Eut's health, so the VA needs to compensate him for it.

By the way, Eutrusca -- Happy Veterans Day a little early.

Semper Fi, or whatever the Army says.

Well I own a few rental properties. Own one bar plus ownership in another. Own a half share in a financial company also. Its alot....

We usually accept a "Hoo-Rah!" - though a "Go Army! Beat Navy!" will do during College Football Season.

Not this year, buddy. I was crewed with a pilot that was a Navy grad, so that makes me an honorary alum.

Go Navy! Beat Army!

I've heard that there are many homeless Vietnam vets in the US. That's terrible, especially considering many of them would have been conscripted. I'm glad the country you looked out for is now looking out for you, putting my views on various wars aside.
