@cobradile94 I know! I'm thinking on switching careers at least for a while. I could live below my means for a few years, but our needs as a family has changed, and perhaps looking for a better income in a different discipline would be convenient. Let's see... · 9 months ago
[3] Well... As a married couple in north of MX, we are stuggling to get enough income to buy a house. But we can rent a decent place, and enjoy a few opportunities. We have a good internet access, we can work-from-home and sometimes outside, we can travel and have more vacations than the minimum amount in this country. We are semi-confortable in the middle class. So I guess, it's more a yes, than a no. · 9 months ago
[1] - to me, well-off means I can pay all my monthly bills and still have a little left over to do some of the things I want to do. Not all of them, of course, but enough to break the monotony of the daily grind. · 9 months ago
[1] I think. But that is only because I live _very_ below my means and I don't have a GF/partner yet. Otherwise likely approaching 2. · 9 months ago
[2] big change in circumstances over last two years, infirm parent care responsibilities forced early retirement. · 9 months ago

a few years ago, i moved back to my parents to support them, so them have no to pay for a cook, a gardener, doing laundry and so on. i am in my 40th, and i have not to pay rent, food and stuff. we have a quite good coexistence and one time when they're gone i will have a shitload of money and house and ground and stuff, so, i think i am fscking whealty... will never have to work again in my life. thanks to my parents, they cared me for all over my lifetime, i have such a luck with them. · 9 months ago
Right now yes, [1], but I go through periods of intentionally not earning money and living life entirely on my own terms, and in those situations I spend almost everything I have and it switches back. · 9 months ago
I'll go ahead and put in my own answer - [3]. I live with my parents who would be considered upper middle class but my own income is not consistent enough to be taxable, mostly a couple hundred USD here and there for developing websites and other odd jobs. Still, we share a fridge and they don't want to charge their only son rent, so that's not really badly-off. · 9 months ago
