    Honestly the idea behind this is good but I feel like these numbers from 2011 should be scaled up to account for inflation

    I get around $1000 a month and half goes to rent so its very hard to save but i try to put away $5 a week away but often find it hard to do so. I’m making it work though

      Rent in australia is crazy right now and since i have a disability i have very high medical costs so i have the cheapest place i could find which is half of my income. I live with my grandmother in a unit attached to her house but if i were to live in an official rental that is the cheapest i would be paying 90% of my income. She has let me pay half the lowest rent so 50% of my income going to rent is the best im gonna get but it means i have to save up to go to any medical appointments.

    Sooo....if my take home pay is $2000 a month, but the cheapest 1 bedroom in my area starts at $2200.... It is kind of misleading to use 2012 prices to budget a 2023 wage. I am very frugal and just my electric bill is $200 a month, not $10

      I was looking for this comment!! Like that is so unlikely!!! No way you can find a apartment for that cheap!

      Me and my sister won’t run the AC often; we’ll turn the lights off until it’s dark; we try to use more cold water than hot and we don’t run the tv and other electronics often so we keep our electric to $75-$120/month.

      For real even in the ghetto neighborhoods I grew up in the cheapest is like $1500 studio apt but back then it was $300 for a 2 bedroom house.

      Even with roomates you would not find or want to live in a $350/month apartment.

      Also, don’t forget giving looks different for everybody and isn’t just monetary ❤
      When I couldn’t get a job in high school and after graduation I spent 4 years volunteering at a youth and adults with disabilities riding facility
      What you can afford to give is enough even if it isn’t what others can give ❤

    living in 2023 there's no place that has rent that's under the 35% rule for me. especially living in a city.

    So you still paid off the 0% interest item to a family member first? I'm debating where to rack and stack a 0% interest credit card payment that was used for a single item that has 60 month interest free equal payments setup that pay it off by the 60th month.

    So the moral of the story is people who make $15 an hour and are lucky enough to have a partnership with somebody or a friend who makes the equivalent make just about as much as this person makes in 2012 meaning that there has been no increased to the amount of money that we make, but the cost-of-living has tripled if not quadrupled over the last decade Seems as if our society has failed us

      Congratulations on your early retirement, Interesting indeed! Currently, I am in dire need of investment advice or tips. Earlier this year, I hesitated and failed to take any action until now. However, I am determined to try something new, as I am very receptive to various investment ideas. I want to be retired in my forties or fifties, I really wish I can achieve what you and your partner has achieved. I believe and it will surely happen.

    You can't even rent a room for $700 a month.

    • @brennaweaver3974
      @brennaweaver3974 Рік тому +2

      My one-bedroom apartment (600ish sq feet) is $700 a month, but $700 a month is quite a bit more than 35% of my monthly income... that being said other similarly sized units are rare (most apartments here are two bedrooms) and usually go for $100-150 more. But I live in a semi-rural area in the Midwest, so cost of living is allegedly lower.

    • @JesseMerrick9797
      @JesseMerrick9797 Рік тому +5

      Yeah agreed, I can’t find a room to rent near me for less than $1k a month. Which is a lot more than 35%. Also car insurance where I live is about $200 and gas is at least $150 per month. There’s no budget scenario for me right now that doesn’t have a negative in front of it.

      Well because you’re using your very situational zero based budgeting to people who are watching this is in 2023 and very rarely would anyone have a landlord or leasing office with open WiFi. Overall just send unreasonable to used this as “low income” budgeting. Also living in Kansas isn’t so fair since it’s one of the cheaper places to rent. It’s just that this is such a large platform and this would never realistically be helpful to “low income budgeting”. Just seems like a simplified 101 zero based budgeting explanation
