Why do women draw the cutest Touhou girls?

Many people say they are middle class when they are actually really poor.

>$20,000-40,000
>poor

Not in the south I'm not.

>>8872532

You are poor compared to everyone else in the nation who does not live in Hicktopia.

I'm in the south and the $25,000 I put together a year does not pay for health insurance or other things that would make me feel like I'm not scraping along the bottom.

If you cannot afford good health insurance you are poor.

>>8872535
>Hicktopia
Typical rude liberal.

>>8872538
Your employer doesn't offer free health insurance with the option of other more expensive insurance companies?

I'm a trust fund baby. My grandparents are rich as fuck and my parents are getting there. I have a family job and am playing the market to help myself out. Feels good.

>>8872538
>paying for health insurance

$5000, probably a lot less.

>>8872546

How do you survive anonymous?

I believe my parents are making around $60,000 to $80,000 (canadian) a year.


It fluctuates on how much work they have though

unfortunately they also use the money to make more money with so in the end we live very cheap.

>>8872555
I bet he lives in a van down by the river.

Poor. Was lower mid class till my mom lost her job.

Why am I still a NEET?

2000 euros a month after taxes, give or take. I used to make a lot more back when I was renting my warehouse to a factory, but the factory closed down and it's not likely anyone's going to invest in Greece anytime soon. Back when everything I owned was rented, I'd make more than 6000 euros a month (I also own a downtown office, which also has nobody using it nowadays and several farming fields... At least the farming fields still pay some rent. Just enough to pay for the property taxes for all the rest, though.

this poll is bs
there is no way 17 people are on /jp/

A little under $17,000 living and working alone. I hope it is okay that I chose "below $15,000" since $17,000 wasn't in any of the ranges.

That's not how you quote. Please review the 4chan FAQ.

>>8872619
The FAQ says nothing about the function being used exclusively for quoting. :)

I make less then $12000 (gross income) a year, but I don't qualify for any assistance programs because I have no dependents.

I'm hungry guys.

Around $8000 a year.
At least I'm making more than my parents ever did.

>>8872671
Are you on autism bucks? That's how much I'm making with that.

six figures a year, after taxes
I figure I'll work maybe ten years tops, then retire someplace cheap and NEET it up alone for the rest of my life

>>8872676
Yeah, good guess. It seemed like so much more before I moved out.

during the 8 months i'm in school i get 6600 from my loan. when i work during the summer i make 4000. something like that.

>>8872684
It was either autism bucks or slave wages. And slaves don't really get internet. Judging by that amount I'm guessing you're on disability too. What's your disability, anon? If you don't mind me asking.

My mom has been a neet longer than I have, we get by between what I save from my jobs and what she gets from her boyfriend.

Now that I've been unemployed since last summer and her boyfriend left her, we're in another pickle. Have to do something before July when we get evicted and I'm down to my last $300. I'm no stranger to stressful times though so it's no big deal.

>>8872695
I took Uncle Remus' advice, and listed everything under the sun.

>>8872671

That wouldn't even pay my rent.
Where do you live?

Are those brackets for families or something? I make 28k a year and thought I'd be lower-middle class rather than poor.

>>8872705
Good man.

I'm actually disabled though.

>>8872706
Gubmint usually pay a portion of your rent for you, along with any of your other needs that you don't use any of your actual autismbucks for. If you rent super cheap, it could easily cover more than half of your rent per month.

>>8872707

No, you ARE poor.

>>8872707
How does it feel knowing that only 70% of the US makes more than you?

>>8872706
In a lovely little shithole. My rent is around $350 a month, and it covers water and heating.

>>8872712
I actually I am too, but who knows what parts are the ones that count.

What's this about them paying your rent? Isn't that section 8?

>>8872712

Ah. I have $350/week Australian, and $275 of that goes up in smoke every week from rent and utilities.

>>8872671
That's not even three months rent at my place...

>>8872518
New York, San Francisco, or whereabouts?

>>8872723
Section 8, huh? You lost me. Our autismbucks systems must be slightly different. I live with my parents so I don't pay rent, but I was informed a little about it and that's all I know.

My mom is a single mother who hasn't had a job in 10 years. I have a job that doesn't pay enough. I can see why people kill themselves.

>>8872746
>doesn't pay enough
My 25 year old sister tells me this and she lives at home with us and doesn't pay rent or shit all. All her money is her own. She just buys all sorts of fancy expensive shit, pays a ton of bills for god knows what, parties and buys expensive clothes, jewelry and food and is in unbelievable amounts of debt. She earns roughly 40k/year too. Her complaint is she never has enough money.

You're not like her, are you anon?

>>8872746
Alimony or welfare? I'm guessing the latter.

>>8872740
Section 8 is the housing subsidy in the US.

Even on autism bucks I don't qualify for it though.
Because I'm not black.
Because I have no dependents.

>>8872722
Feels alright. I'm able to buy everything I need, pirate everything I want, and put away a good chunk of my paycheck for savings, so I don't really feel like I lack money.

Although I'm guessing you're referring to households. In terms of individuals only about 50% make more than me.

>>8872780
section 8 housing is scary... i wouldnt want to live even several blocks away

>>8872780
Oh, I'm canadian. I guess the amounts of dollars they award us for autism isn't that different.

>>8872785
*working* individuals. Unemployed don't count in that statistic.

>In dire poverty (Under $15,000 a year)
What? You can live off that easily; college students do that all the time, sans tuition.

>Poor $20,000-40,000
The median wage for a working individual in the US is somewhere between 28-32k a year.

If OP's family makes over 150k a year and feels like "lower middle class," they are just retards at managing money.

I was in a petty bourgeois [~$90,000 gross/year; 18acre property] family until last year. This year will be more like $20,000 gross per year due to the loss of my father, and I am still NEET. Have 19K in investments but I hope to find a way to turn these into usable capital, and not fuck up like the naive yuppie dolt I am.

>>8872833

Spoiled shit easy life. No reason for you to post.

pooreported

>>8872928
His life is about to get a lot harder if he fucks up. There's a reason why hobos always "make up" stories about times they were rich and successful.

>>8872928
At least he knows he's a yuppie fuck.

Better than that idiot who thinks six figures is middle class.

So under $15k/year is considered "dire poverty"?
I earn less than 5000€/year.
