I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

@christianalawal3695 WOW.....are you "TONE DEAF".....80% of the general public are living paycheck to paycheck and you are advising someone living paycheck to paycheck to come up with $30k and invest it into stocks.....that's "privilege thinking" and are totally "TONE DEAF" to the plight of the general public finances....
As someone who has met with a couple of people from Atlanta. I can say one of the reasons I agree with you is because Atlanta is the cap capital of the country. Everybody is fronting out there .
I guess the people who forked out $500K for a "luxury" apartment won't mind seeing a group of 5-10 people dealing drugs, rapping out loud, and loitering with rifles in there pants and jackets after the sun sets of course!
I live in metro dallas as well. I live in Atlanta from 2000 to 2011. ATL and Dallas now have similar cost of living. Try to buy that same condo in uptown and it will be the same price with higher property taxes! We don’t have state income tax though.
For that amount you can actually buy land! It’s just people in Atlanta for instance want to keep up with the Joneses. Budget your money live within your means and get some type of passive income.
Shout out to all the middle class people who have experienced true poverty, and are continuing on the path to leveling up while living within your means. Prosperity and abundance to you! 💚
You can keep Atlanta. My wife and i bought a home in Tallahassee Florida for 100 thousand dollars. A 17 year old home sitting on a half acre fenced in, and our mortgage is under a thousand dollars. You can't beat that!!!! Atlanta is just ridiculous. Especially with all the crime that goes on there. Smh. No thanks.
Most ppl live in the outskirts the actual city of Atlanta has always been more expensive. Everything has went up here like everywhere else just gotta be on your grind.

Just kidding I think everyone should step up their game and live in the overflow. Nothing wrong with that. I also, think it’s how you manage money and where you live.
$50k on a $400,000 home?! Hell, $50k on a $300,000 home is stretching it. Idk if you’ve looked at prices and interest rates but purchase budget for a $50k is much, much lower these days if you aren’t trying to be shelling out nearly half (or more) of your monthly income. The budget is probably low $200k and that’s only if you have a nice down payment, and nowadays, $200k isn’t getting anything new or nice.
If you want to live in midtown, downtown or the Buckhead area, yeah you need to make at least 120K. If you want to live in Duluth, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Marietta or Kennesaw, then 50K would cut it, provided if you're getting an apartment. If you're buying a house in Duluth, Alpharetta, Kennesaw, Marietta, then 50K won't cut it. You would need to make at least 100K.
You can’t live in Sandy Springs or Alpharetta for 50k. Rent is $2000 or higher. A little lower in some communities but not really. Some of the newer apartments are $3000 and $4000 a month, which is insane! I’d say minimum $75k to $150k+ since you need to make 3 times the rent and you still gotta be able to pay bills and live. I paid $800 for rent in 2007 and that was on a higher scale at that time. Rent has gone up 3-5 times that amount. If you make less, you will definitely require a roommate.
I'm sure it isn't. By comparison I live in Northern California and anywhere up here $50,000 puts you in the homeless, welfare social services bracket. You would be surprised at how many people that have jobs paying $50,000 actually live in tent cities on the streets or sheltors in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Who said anyone was living in Midtown for 50K as a single source of income. That's what wrong with Atlanta, people focusing on "chasing bags" and "flossing." It's what has significantly contributed to the scam culture. "I got a Benz...I'm rockin' this, I'm rockin' that, I just bought this...I just bought that."

Let me tell ya, let me tell ya. Every metro-Atlantan has that cousin or old friend from high school who wants to move to Atlanta! They think they’re gonna find a little $20 an hour job and get them a little studio apartment. All their cost of living information is about twenty years out of date. And you think “oh, bless your heart”.
I’m Atlanta born and raised. Raised in the Fayette County area/Tyrone. Fayetteville isn’t 40 minutes from Atlanta. But Fayette County is one of the richest counties in Georgia. Peachtree City being another city in Fayette County that is a very good area to live. I also was raised around the city of South Fulton area. Everything is climbing in price.
You can't find many people that's willing to put you on to their knowledge and Hustle. so I commend this brother that's willing to share his Talent. And being who he say he is.
I never wanted to live in the areas he's talking about. I love living in a country environment. You get more space and privacy. It has gotten higher after covid but you still will get more for your money in the country environments south of Atlanta.
Yeah out here in Gwinnett there are at least half of the 23-26 yr old at my job that make $40k that live on there own in apartments, no roommate. Others making 50-70k have homes. $100000 for a family in lawrencville, Snellville can be very comfortable if you don't buy BMWs,MB, Audi, Lexus, etc.
@@DCJ2603 This is an arrogant and ignorant statement. No one is making excuses for anyone making $50k. Seeme like some people are getting caught up in this youtube "I am a millionaire" hype. It is good to strive for more but to belittle person who chose a career that is the $40-$80K range is ignorant. $50K being poverty is hilarious. I have seen poverty level and it not $50K.
@@allenzo6 dumb ass it’s not. If you’re a grown man making 50k then you’re loss. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get off your ass an hustle. It’s something you’re doing wrong not me
@@allenzo6 not if you buy in 2022 and beyond. I guarantee most of those people bought more than 3 years ago. They probably couldn’t afford their own homes if they bought it today!
It's unfortunate that people are being priced out of major cities. It's happening here in Phoenix as well. Also unfortunate that "Chasing the Bag" has even become a necessary means of survival. Now, not only does a person have to work a day job, but they have to push beyond fatigue to work 2nd, even 3rd jobs sometimes, or do all kinds of side hustles just to afford the basics. We're not even talking about luxury, just the basics. There has to be a better way to live.

If you grow up in Atlanta you will learn to have a side hustle to offset a low paying job. The low paying job pays the taxes and the side hustle is the bag. That's why you see people in Atlanta driving that Benz working a regular job. That side hustle be booming.
@@derricklyons2232 The broke people you're referring to driving Benzes and Bmers are young people in their twenties. I'm retired and that has been going on in Atlanta ever since I was a kid. They see folks in their late 30's and older who can afford them driving them and as soon as they get enough money for a down payment that's the first thing they do.
@@laryanryan9170 there's older people at my job that drive corvettes, they are broke and can barely put gas in they car. There's a lot of immature older people in atlanta too, thats why the younger generation is so fucked up.
I live on the south side of Atlanta Metro; there is no way in hell I would want to live in midtown or even downtown Atlanta. Y'all are welcome welcome welcome to those areas.
I wouldn't even pay that much for ATL even if I had ain't nothing really jumping off like that but The clubs Love and Hip-Hop and the weather 🌡️☀️😏😏😏please
You can find condos in downtown Atlanta and Buckhead starting from the high 100k. Can’t look at one development downtown Atlanta and think you have a complete understanding! Those Anton is looking at are more like 3 bedroom and up!
This speaks to a much larger problem that 99% of black Atlantians miss. Both the democrats and republicans want that city gentrified and become non majority black, if you look at the "type" of companies that have moved into Atlanta over the last 20 years they are primarily STEM.... The individuals that work (get hired) in those areas are typically Asian's, Arabs and continental Africans. With the infux/influence of so many people due to those jobs, the realtors, politicians and businesses are going to push prices beyond the reach of black Americans in that city. Your black mayor's and city council members all know this, however they have been taking bags to allow this to happen. You are being gentrified, In the next 5 years it will be too late and you will see an Atlanta start having mayors,, Council members, police chiefs, you name it, that are no longer black..... Get ready for the ATL with "POC". Don't believe me, ask any black folks in LA/ San Diego and Oakland what happened to what used to be known as "black" LA.
Dude you're basically coming with the defeatist attitude. You need to be telling black folks to get educated in STEM fields so they too can get those good paying jobs and move into the gentrified areas. For the last 10+ years the mayor and everyone else including Obama when he was president has been telling blacks this but they're not listening.
@@laryanryan9170 you do realize that there's people with stem degrees that are having a hard time finding decent jobs right? If for every job opening there's a thousand people with the same degree applying for the same job as you then those jobs are going to be hard to get.
@@laryanryan9170 atlanta has too many people and not enough decent paying jobs. Theres jobs but they're low paying. If there's hundreds of people applying for the same job then salaries are going to be lower than usual and the decent paying jobs are going to be hard to get.
And we wonder why crime is so bad everyone needs to get a gun and use the castle law you come in my home guarantee you leave in body bag best believe ok
As a average earning guy myself I’m trying to level it up I learned how to trade stock options and forex as of late I’ve been doing good adding more extra income.
Good content my brother! Please don't come to Los Angeles, if you don't bring home $120,000 a year. $50,000 won’t get a one-bedroom apartment in the worst part of the hood in 2022!
Exactly! It’s a big illusion for ppl who don’t care to save their money just because they think they can afford it. I’d rather live in a cheaper, regular apartment/room and go get a house with a backyard. Some ppl have retired and sold their homes to buy a condo and that’s them but I’m not throwing my money at a cubicle “new development “ that’s overpriced.
Right now 50k a year anywhere in America is not enough especially if you're trying to live in a downtown area. I'm moving to Altanta next year me and my people stacking 10k apiece to move my plane is to get a good enough job stack stack and stack to start my own tattoo shop buy a dtg machine to start shirt printing business and start working with canvases and start selling my art limited prints patron and a skillshare. Most people workout do drugs etc I draw that's my way of expressing myself and thats how I release energy I can get into that zone. From what I heard Atlanta isn't the place for average workers. I'm to the age I'm tired of working for someone I'm 37 they say entrepreneurs don't start booming until they hit their 40s for me it was chasing women in my 30s after the woman I was going to marry left I'm more focused on myself and what I want out of life. Ima say working for someone and around normal people I want to be normal but the people I work around have drama going on I have a rumor about me and I never even messed with anyone I work hangout with anyone or any of that. To them I'm afraid of P but I don't want a female who's just a worker it's only one chick I work with who if she know her potential she'd be on top of the game honestly but she only date dudes who bring her down. I just found out I'm an empath
I totally get what you are saying. When I retired, I moved out of the city. I live in the mountains, not very convenient but much fewer people. I find that a natural environment and quiet nights really feeds my soul. I'm into making music, taking care of my home and gardens, enjoying the outdoors. I did the corporate thing during my working life and I was glad to retire. I've never been happier. My husband has always been an outdoors man so he loves the mountains too.
Nah that depends. You can make 80k in most places in the south and live very comfortably. Now if I lived in the North East, or in a medium to large city on the west coast, 80k may be borderline poverty.
@@m.w.5458 ? This has less to do with managing money, and more to do with the cost of living in a city. You must be living in a bubble if you believe someone making $80k a year can live comfortably in San Francisco and New York. Penny Pinching to get by is completely different from living comfortably.
The outskirts of the A is just as high as the city itself. I was looking for a house north of the city and the prices are sky high. The fed hiking up the interest rate didn’t help so I gotta hold off until that market is more buyer friendly.
Prices up North always been at least the same price as the city. Before everyone and they're momma wanted to move to Atlanta it was still higher than the city. Got to go down south or to the west for cheaper options
It's a no-can-win situation. The traffic in ATL is the worst anywhere. Even if you can find a more reasonable apartment on the outskirts, the time you spend commuting will cost you time money and your sanity. It's over built and there are just too many people to have quality of life. I lived in Gwinnett County back in the 90s. I loved it. My relatives say I would not even recognize it today.
This been going on. This is the cycle of life. Sad, but only the strong willed with survive 😮💨 Since we can’t come together and fight this, it’s every men/women for themselves. Pivot or die is the only choice we have. 💯
@@laryanryan9170 I'm not speaking about nightclubs, liquor and vices. I'm talking about living in good areas, kids going to private schools or decent public schools, healthcare, healthy foods, and not living in a dangerous environment. Atlanta have lead in the water, extreme illegal dumping issues and lack of opportunities for majority of the city.
Atlanta is by far the most affordable big city in the US. The rent and cost of owning a home is significantly cheaper than NYC and LA. I was there few years back and you can get a 2 bedrooms for ~$700 near buckhead and Marietta. The price is cheap if you look hard enough.
500k for a midtown condo…hmmm…I know many people scoff at the idea of that but just know people that think like business owners are getting other people to pay for there luxury such as in the form of “Air-Bnb”….
I understand what this dude is saying but at the same time everyone doesn’t have a capitalist mind state and doesn’t want to conform to a new form of slavery which is capitalism. What I here from people like this is let’s is a broken person who has been whipped into submission. He seems to not mind spending his life chasing money when the real problem in fact is classism. America is done as we know it because of people like this man. Don’t ever forget that conforming doesn’t make you successful or a man. Just the purest form of a sheep. I guess what I’m trying to say is he has a can’t beta em join em type mentality!
1:25 As someone who worked in banking in the past and now working in insurance, the standard FHA is the easiest loan to obtain but you're only going to be approved for 3X your annual income. So if you make $50K per year, you'll be good with a $150K loan. Good luck!!
I was living off 35k when I first moved to downtown Atlanta now I’m above 70 and i still had to move out the city; also the crime rate makes it almost insane to live downtown
@@laryanryan9170 Facts, you would be surprised how many people buy 50-70k cars and live in overpriced homes/apartments just to impress others. 100k can go buy really quick if you are not smart with your money.
Anton, I hear you my guy, but for everything you say concerning this topic, you are yet to tell men what will inevitably be for the majority of them, and that's being average income earners. It has always been that way, and just because the world turns and times are getting technology progressive, every man not majority men can be what you're attempting to sell. The truth is I get it, I really do understand your perspective bro, but as Mr. Logic tried to explain to you before that most men will be workers, and very few men the CEO. I'm asking what legitimate rebuttal do you have to that point of view?
He does not have one....his vision is narrow an one sided. When I work for ups , I also umpired baseball an softball an did a lil boxing ref. Was in the National Guard. So a few streams of income. I own a home I'm giving to by daughters....invest in the 401k an walmart for by grandkids. You're right most of us will be workers...again that side hustle all cash in the hand I feel is where it's at. Military , trade school , truck drivers etc...I agree with him if you want it go get it. Whoever...just find your right path.
Average people need to forget about living in the big cities. There are a lot of places to live with a much better life style that are not cheap but not over-the-top prices like big cities.
In my opinion, to live comfortably, your bottom number has to be $250k most coming from passive income. $100k is less than $6k per month take home.. Rent/Mortgage, investments, savings, food, transportation, travel...how are you going to get fresh? And if you have children, you are in poverty. A couple making $100k is a great start. Our community needs to find ways to monetize what we do, our children deserve it!
Brother Anthon says in reality people don't care how you feel. Well brother maybe that's part of the problem. people stopped caring for each other. A society build on people not caring is nothing. I am living in in the EU en you can call us socialist all you want but people are happy here happy er than in the US and this is FACT!!!!!!! Have you ever heard anything shitty about Sweden or Norway or Zwitserland? You can live like a king for 50.000 a year. Have good a live. Put your children in good schools and Universities. Go on 2 vacations a year. And retirement is payed by the government. My country is number 6 richest country in the EU. Trust me when I tell you I am living comfortably where I am at. So talk all you want about competing I am here eating my lobster diner in Zwitserland chilling in Zürich at the lake.
There are tons of black folks in the US living good. Don't get us confused with the losers who go on UA-cam complaining about how bad things are for everybody.
This video is nothing but hyperbole and clickbait. Less than 10% of the population of the Atlanta Metropolitan Area live outside of the City of Atlanta. $50k is more than plenty for most of Atlanta, even in areas not far from Atlanta's urban areas. This man is just trying to make content.
I am predicting that the Migrant and extremely high rents in my hometown of NYC Atlanta will get a 2nd wave. NYC Black American population dropped another 10% in only 2022 to 2023! So far, over 500k Black NYS, esp NYC residents, have moved! They will be moving to GA again.
Sure, EVERYONE come to Atl! 😂😂😂 Don’t mind it’ll take you an Hour MINIMUM to get to work. Or PAY to Park anywhere. And the holes in the road big enough to eat half your car!!?? That’s ALL part of the amazing experience of living here in Atlanta. The food? C’mon Man, this is street vendor quality served in a nice looking room. $40 please. Don’t mind the servers/cooks NOT wearing gloves and wiping their faces 😳 Adds flavor. Atlanta is the land of DEI. Welcome.
Dis is a lie 100k ppl like me isn’t living check to check that depends on how you live blk like to over spend or to giving and that’s why ppl 40k 50k 100k is check to check

You can't find many people that's willing to put you on to their knowledge and Hustle. so I commend this brother that's willing to share his Talent. And being who he say he is.
Hell no it’s not worth it. There’s nothing that special in Atlanta for a condo to cost that much.
And come out side of your 500k apartment to see your car broken into 😂
50k is poverty anywhere in 2023 especially if you have a child
Yes most of those been buying from Realstate investor’s or big firm and they rented to big corporation. Great analogy Anton. 👍🏽☀️👍🏽
I never wanted to live in the areas he's talking about. I love living in a country environment. You get more space and privacy. It has gotten higher after covid but you still will get more for your money in the country environments south of Atlanta.
Shh! Don't tell our secrets. We don't want them driving up the cost of living, in other parts of Georgia.
You in the heart of the city, suburbs aint expensive bro
Yeah out here in Gwinnett there are at least half of the 23-26 yr old at my job that make $40k that live on there own in apartments, no roommate. Others making 50-70k have homes. $100000 for a family in lawrencville, Snellville can be very comfortable if you don't buy BMWs,MB, Audi, Lexus, etc.
@@allenzo6 😂😂😂😂 hilarious how people make excuses for making only 50k a year. Bruh that’s poverty
@@DCJ2603 This is an arrogant and ignorant statement. No one is making excuses for anyone making $50k. Seeme like some people are getting caught up in this youtube "I am a millionaire" hype. It is good to strive for more but to belittle person who chose a career that is the $40-$80K range is ignorant. $50K being poverty is hilarious. I have seen poverty level and it not $50K.
@@allenzo6 dumb ass it’s not. If you’re a grown man making 50k then you’re loss. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get off your ass an hustle. It’s something you’re doing wrong not me
@@allenzo6 not if you buy in 2022 and beyond. I guarantee most of those people bought more than 3 years ago. They probably couldn’t afford their own homes if they bought it today!
It's unfortunate that people are being priced out of major cities. It's happening here in Phoenix as well. Also unfortunate that "Chasing the Bag" has even become a necessary means of survival. Now, not only does a person have to work a day job, but they have to push beyond fatigue to work 2nd, even 3rd jobs sometimes, or do all kinds of side hustles just to afford the basics. We're not even talking about luxury, just the basics. There has to be a better way to live.
Eventhough I'm Not In Thee Patreon... I Swear This Felt Like a Patreon Video... Anton Be Spitting Facts... I Swear Anton Videos Makes Me Wanna Hit The Grind and Get Back To Work As Soon As I Get Off Work...
Its plenty of people who live in Atlanta under $50,000. Gtfoh.
If you grow up in Atlanta you will learn to have a side hustle to offset a low paying job. The low paying job pays the taxes and the side hustle is the bag. That's why you see people in Atlanta driving that Benz working a regular job. That side hustle be booming.
@@laryanryan9170 No doubt.
@@laryanryan9170 most of those people that you see driving a Benz and nice cars be broke, its a lot of fronting going on out here.
@@derricklyons2232 The broke people you're referring to driving Benzes and Bmers are young people in their twenties. I'm retired and that has been going on in Atlanta ever since I was a kid. They see folks in their late 30's and older who can afford them driving them and as soon as they get enough money for a down payment that's the first thing they do.
@@laryanryan9170 there's older people at my job that drive corvettes, they are broke and can barely put gas in they car. There's a lot of immature older people in atlanta too, thats why the younger generation is so fucked up.
I live on the south side of Atlanta Metro; there is no way in hell I would want to live in midtown or even downtown Atlanta. Y'all are welcome welcome welcome to those areas.
I wouldn't even pay that much for ATL even if I had ain't nothing really jumping off like that but The clubs Love and Hip-Hop and the weather 🌡️☀️😏😏😏please
I be needing these pep talks
You can find condos in downtown Atlanta and Buckhead starting from the high 100k. Can’t look at one development downtown Atlanta and think you have a complete understanding!
Those Anton is looking at are more like 3 bedroom and up!
Not for long prices are going up
This speaks to a much larger problem that 99% of black Atlantians miss.
Both the democrats and republicans want that city gentrified and become non majority black, if you look at the "type" of companies that have moved into Atlanta over the last 20 years they are primarily STEM.... The individuals that work (get hired) in those areas are typically Asian's, Arabs and continental Africans.
With the infux/influence of so many people due to those jobs, the realtors, politicians and businesses are going to push prices beyond the reach of black Americans in that city.
Your black mayor's and city council members all know this, however they have been taking bags to allow this to happen.
You are being gentrified, In the next 5 years it will be too late and you will see an Atlanta start having mayors,, Council members, police chiefs, you name it, that are no longer black..... Get ready for the ATL with "POC".
Don't believe me, ask any black folks in LA/ San Diego and Oakland what happened to what used to be known as "black" LA.
Dude you're basically coming with the defeatist attitude. You need to be telling black folks to get educated in STEM fields so they too can get those good paying jobs and move into the gentrified areas. For the last 10+ years the mayor and everyone else including Obama when he was president has been telling blacks this but they're not listening.
@@laryanryan9170 you do realize that there's people with stem degrees that are having a hard time finding decent jobs right? If for every job opening there's a thousand people with the same degree applying for the same job as you then those jobs are going to be hard to get.
@@laryanryan9170 atlanta has too many people and not enough decent paying jobs. Theres jobs but they're low paying. If there's hundreds of people applying for the same job then salaries are going to be lower than usual and the decent paying jobs are going to be hard to get.
And we wonder why crime is so bad everyone needs to get a gun and use the castle law you come in my home guarantee you leave in body bag best believe ok
As a average earning guy myself I’m trying to level it up I learned how to trade stock options and forex as of late I’ve been doing good adding more extra income.
Good content my brother! Please don't come to Los Angeles, if you don't bring home $120,000 a year. $50,000 won’t get a one-bedroom apartment in the worst part of the hood in 2022!
Yeah I live in L.A. county and you are correct.
Black women make more because they are more educated.
50K ain’t shit period! Blacks are being priced out everywhere!
I don't need it to survive if there's no yard I don't want that I need a yard I love cooking out and playing my music loud..
Exactly! It’s a big illusion for ppl who don’t care to save their money just because they think they can afford it. I’d rather live in a cheaper, regular apartment/room and go get a house with a backyard. Some ppl have retired and sold their homes to buy a condo and that’s them but I’m not throwing my money at a cubicle “new development “ that’s overpriced.
US capitalism the more I analyze it today ,is a sham or a scam. I know someone who make 60k still living with a roommate.
Right now 50k a year anywhere in America is not enough especially if you're trying to live in a downtown area. I'm moving to Altanta next year me and my people stacking 10k apiece to move my plane is to get a good enough job stack stack and stack to start my own tattoo shop buy a dtg machine to start shirt printing business and start working with canvases and start selling my art limited prints patron and a skillshare. Most people workout do drugs etc I draw that's my way of expressing myself and thats how I release energy I can get into that zone. From what I heard Atlanta isn't the place for average workers. I'm to the age I'm tired of working for someone I'm 37 they say entrepreneurs don't start booming until they hit their 40s for me it was chasing women in my 30s after the woman I was going to marry left I'm more focused on myself and what I want out of life. Ima say working for someone and around normal people I want to be normal but the people I work around have drama going on I have a rumor about me and I never even messed with anyone I work hangout with anyone or any of that. To them I'm afraid of P but I don't want a female who's just a worker it's only one chick I work with who if she know her potential she'd be on top of the game honestly but she only date dudes who bring her down. I just found out I'm an empath
People making it with 50k, most people want to live in the big metro cities and that's the problem
I totally get what you are saying. When I retired, I moved out of the city. I live in the mountains, not very convenient but much fewer people. I find that a natural environment and quiet nights really feeds my soul. I'm into making music, taking care of my home and gardens, enjoying the outdoors. I did the corporate thing during my working life and I was glad to retire. I've never been happier. My husband has always been an outdoors man so he loves the mountains too.
50,000 is broke in America , hell 80,000 is broke
So 75% of America is broke lol
80k is good enough
Nah that depends. You can make 80k in most places in the south and live very comfortably. Now if I lived in the North East, or in a medium to large city on the west coast, 80k may be borderline poverty.
@@Edward_Williamsyou are incorrect. It’s about how can keep and how you manage your money. Sounds like you don’t manage money well. 80k is jus fine.
@@m.w.5458 ? This has less to do with managing money, and more to do with the cost of living in a city. You must be living in a bubble if you believe someone making $80k a year can live comfortably in San Francisco and New York. Penny Pinching to get by is completely different from living comfortably.
It depends on which neighborhood you live in but that’s why I bought my condo a few years ago when prices were more affordable.
The outskirts of the A is just as high as the city itself. I was looking for a house north of the city and the prices are sky high. The fed hiking up the interest rate didn’t help so I gotta hold off until that market is more buyer friendly.
Prices up North always been at least the same price as the city. Before everyone and they're momma wanted to move to Atlanta it was still higher than the city. Got to go down south or to the west for cheaper options
Look south...they're a little cheaper.
Up north u find the million dollar homes the cheaply made plain bland apartment for 1800
Facts
It's a no-can-win situation. The traffic in ATL is the worst anywhere. Even if you can find a more reasonable apartment on the outskirts, the time you spend commuting will cost you time money and your sanity. It's over built and there are just too many people to have quality of life. I lived in Gwinnett County back in the 90s. I loved it. My relatives say I would not even recognize it today.
This been going on. This is the cycle of life. Sad, but only the strong willed with survive 😮💨 Since we can’t come together and fight this, it’s every men/women for themselves. Pivot or die is the only choice we have. 💯
You cannot enjoy Atlanta unless you’re making 200K yearly.
Yes you can. Just stay out of the clubs. Hit a club every now and then. Not every weekend.
@@laryanryan9170 I'm not speaking about nightclubs, liquor and vices. I'm talking about living in good areas, kids going to private schools or decent public schools, healthcare, healthy foods, and not living in a dangerous environment. Atlanta have lead in the water, extreme illegal dumping issues and lack of opportunities for majority of the city.
you cant live nowhere with 50k by yourself
50k is not going to cut it in Atlanta. I live South of downtown. Affordable housing is trash.
I remember when Dekalb and Clayton County use to be cheap to live in from 99 to 2011
Atlanta is by far the most affordable big city in the US. The rent and cost of owning a home is significantly cheaper than NYC and LA. I was there few years back and you can get a 2 bedrooms for ~$700 near buckhead and Marietta. The price is cheap if you look hard enough.
I don't know of any apartments oin those areas for that kind of rent.
500k for a midtown condo…hmmm…I know many people scoff at the idea of that but just know people that think like business owners are getting other people to pay for there luxury such as in the form of “Air-Bnb”….
It’s the same here in Nashville, Tennessee. I’m hearing the same about Charlotte, NC
I agree with the whole just work 40hrs weekly. Weekly, I'm always in the 50-hour range. Some folks are cool by just getting by.
What's your definition of a whole lot of people getting the bag? Only 0.1% of people make over a million a year.
I understand what this dude is saying but at the same time everyone doesn’t have a capitalist mind state and doesn’t want to conform to a new form of slavery which is capitalism. What I here from people like this is let’s is a broken person who has been whipped into submission. He seems to not mind spending his life chasing money when the real problem in fact is classism. America is done as we know it because of people like this man. Don’t ever forget that conforming doesn’t make you successful or a man. Just the purest form of a sheep. I guess what I’m trying to say is he has a can’t beta em join em type mentality!
We need more ppl like you
FLYY + LAZY = BROKE……the fake it till you make it era is OVER😂😂😂
The median income in ATL is $36,465. wake up buddy
I hate what you are saying because it is so true lol but keep the truth coming. People keep moving there and then staying broke the whole time.
1:25 As someone who worked in banking in the past and now working in insurance, the standard FHA is the easiest loan to obtain but you're only going to be approved for 3X your annual income. So if you make $50K per year, you'll be good with a $150K loan. Good luck!!
What if you try to house hack? Can you qualify out of assumed rental income of each room?
That’s not true! Fha will go up so 57 percent dti!
Sheeeet I make more than $50K and I’m broke af
I was living off 35k when I first moved to downtown Atlanta now I’m above 70 and i still had to move out the city; also the crime rate makes it almost insane to live downtown
Which areas would you recommend for a single woman?
@@Rieka.Chanel Try Brookhaven, Tucker, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Downtown Decatur, and etc. Avoid Ellenwood, Lithonia, Stone Mtn type areas.
@@Nunee1986 Thank you so much for this 🙏🏾 I found a place I liked in Stone Mountain but the area was giving scary vibes so good to know
@@Rieka.Chanel I’d also add Kennesaw and Marietta it’s 30 mins out from Atlanta but a lot safer in my opinion
@@bobbybrooks5496 I will add these to my list. Thank you!
You are telling the truth and I hate it lol 😂!!
Those buildings are trash and they probably got crap fixtures and tile
They are very trash. People getting ripped off on some of these new builds.
Wow 😯. It pays to do your homework.
Not if you started here early like I did. 😊I Bought my house when the market crashed and all my cars are paid for. I’m good💪🏿
Henry Ford was the one who popularized and created the 40hr work week . Read that somewhere. # funfact
I make 120,000 a year and don’t live pay check to pay check lol
If someone is making100k and living check to check they're living way above their means. In other words they're just stupid.
@@laryanryan9170 Facts, you would be surprised how many people buy 50-70k cars and live in overpriced homes/apartments just to impress others. 100k can go buy really quick if you are not smart with your money.
all these dam women wanna live off of our success and lay around is what got me!
Anton, I hear you my guy, but for everything you say concerning this topic, you are yet to tell men what will inevitably be for the majority of them, and that's being average income earners.
It has always been that way, and just because the world turns and times are getting technology progressive, every man not majority men can be what you're attempting to sell.
The truth is I get it, I really do understand your perspective bro, but as Mr. Logic tried to explain to you before that most men will be workers, and very few men the CEO.
I'm asking what legitimate rebuttal do you have to that point of view?
He does not have one....his vision is narrow an one sided. When I work for ups , I also umpired baseball an softball an did a lil boxing ref. Was in the National Guard. So a few streams of income.
I own a home I'm giving to by daughters....invest in the 401k an walmart for by grandkids. You're right most of us will be workers...again that side hustle all cash in the hand I feel is where it's at. Military , trade school , truck drivers etc...I agree with him if you want it go get it. Whoever...just find your right path.
Average people need to forget about living in the big cities. There are a lot of places to live with a much better life style that are not cheap but not over-the-top prices like big cities.
In my opinion, to live comfortably, your bottom number has to be $250k most coming from passive income. $100k is less than $6k per month take home.. Rent/Mortgage, investments, savings, food, transportation, travel...how are you going to get fresh? And if you have children, you are in poverty. A couple making $100k is a great start. Our community needs to find ways to monetize what we do, our children deserve it!
50k is broke everywhere
Brother Anthon says in reality people don't care how you feel. Well brother maybe that's part of the problem. people stopped caring for each other. A society build on people not caring is nothing. I am living in in the EU en you can call us socialist all you want but people are happy here happy er than in the US and this is FACT!!!!!!! Have you ever heard anything shitty about Sweden or Norway or Zwitserland? You can live like a king for 50.000 a year. Have good a live. Put your children in good schools and Universities. Go on 2 vacations a year. And retirement is payed by the government. My country is number 6 richest country in the EU. Trust me when I tell you I am living comfortably where I am at. So talk all you want about competing I am here eating my lobster diner in Zwitserland chilling in Zürich at the lake.
There are tons of black folks in the US living good. Don't get us confused with the losers who go on UA-cam complaining about how bad things are for everybody.
STOP SAYING JUST GAYLANTA GEORGIA PERIOD.💯🤨
SOME OF IT IS A SCAM TOO.
Gentrification
Great content.✊🏿👑
This video is nothing but hyperbole and clickbait. Less than 10% of the population of the Atlanta Metropolitan Area live outside of the City of Atlanta.
$50k is more than plenty for most of Atlanta, even in areas not far from Atlanta's urban areas. This man is just trying to make content.
I am predicting that the Migrant and extremely high rents in my hometown of NYC Atlanta will get a 2nd wave. NYC Black American population dropped another 10% in only 2022 to 2023! So far, over 500k Black NYS, esp NYC residents, have moved! They will be moving to GA again.
Great information!
Crying =Not TRYING

Don’t mind it’ll take you an Hour MINIMUM to get to work. Or PAY to Park anywhere. And the holes in the road big enough to eat half your car!!?? That’s ALL part of the amazing experience of living here in Atlanta.
The food? C’mon Man, this is street vendor quality served in a nice looking room. $40 please. Don’t mind the servers/cooks NOT wearing gloves and wiping their faces 😳 Adds flavor.
