Whats considered a good salary in TnT?

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

$500 a week? allyuh men does eat crix everyday or what?

Well a good friend of mine taught me anything besides crix and cheese or crix and tea is trying to be a rich man. Infact he is currently an electrical engineer after he recently graduated from UWI with his Bsc in Electrical and Computer Engineering and he is currently perusing a masters degree and still eats crix. LOL

He was pointing that out to me recently, he said I was too spoiled and too rich just because I bought doubles and a coke. I taught he was on crack but the reality is the man was correct, he now has his own corolla and his degree with a decent enough Job soon to be promoted.

I learn to ban my belly from that individual, I will be down to $150 a week starting September as I am seeking to get a transfer to fulltime classes. Negotiating with my dad for $200 a week as $150 will be very tight especially traveling half the country to reach POS everyday.

But yes its doable for the greater good if you ask me. I honestly just happy for the small amount I get that helping me correct the mistakes I have made. I am greatful for that much atleast, is true I could ah be making $5k a month atleast if I wanted, not like I don't have my education but it has other things in life I making a sacrifice to pursue.

u have a car?

No but this is my form of transport to work, I ride approx 10 miles in total for the day to commute back and forth to work. I did manage to buy it at a $2500 at mikes bikes that I got for building a website for a client.

But spent $100 after to service it at bike inn and replace a spoke

all the best on yur studies pal,when u finally make it u.wud appreciate all you have & hopefully wont squander it

[Les Bain]

With a foundation like that, he'll go far. Will age better too.

[urabus]

It really boils down to one's lifestyle

I have experienced how a change in lifestyle within the last say 6 months for me, has put a slight strain on my finances that's worked quite fine for me for the past 5 plus years.

I always wonder though how our parents did it, with the very little they had, no big education, nor big time jobs, but they were able to provide.

^ yeah man thanks

My dream is to be a Computer Engineer, specializing in Robotics Engineering. I picked it because money has never ever been my immediate concern, would just like to be paid to do what I love.

Atleast this way I know how to save money now and won't squander it later on.

[DFC]

bro, play a lil mark every now and then.

Thats a tight budget to live on.

[Spitfir3]

for a single person living a simple life i would say 8k is a decent base

if you already have a house then even around 6k is efficient

a comfortable baller life for a single person would be about 20k

Lol @ servicing the bike. Only a man that love his bike like a car would talk about it like that. I saying this as someone that used to ride to and from work and making $1250 fortnightly back in the day. I saved up and paid $2800 for my bike (Fuji Nevada). That was in 2010 and I still treat the bike like a baby. My ride to and from work was only about 6 miles total though.

good!

How old are you?

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

^28, thats why I wanna do classes fulltime since part time is taking a little too long. Don't want to take too long to finish it these things.

I have a bunch of IT papers including an advanced diploma in Computing. But really Computer Engineering is what I wanted to do, the advanced dip granted me entry into the Bsc Engineering program. I would much prefer sacrifice and take a longer time to get this as opposed to the IT field.

lol I real bad at gambling.

But I renewing my powerseller on tuner starting September. The few website contracts and PC repairs as little as they may be would definitely help out that $150 a week.

In all honesty trinituner does be a great help.

Boy I does park this bike in my room. LOL does lift it with one hand and walk up the stairs with it on my back. But yes I love my bike, its a Giant Revel 3 I had a Fuji Nevada 1.6D before this it was matte black. This giant like the fuji is full aluminum. Man I does do everything with this baby, commute to work, exercise, buy groceries etc. lol

I even went to Trincity mall the other day with it. Its a great form of transport it don't cost me anything really and I lost 4 inches on the waist since I had it. Feel quite much healthier now.

[Spitfir3]

effective is an inspiration, send him laventille to inspire the youths

[Slartibartfast]

Respect to Effective for making the effort to stay on the straight and narrow. As part of the same generation as Effective I can tell you first hand that not a lot of people our age know or even care about sacrifices anymore.

[Ted_v2]

After reading this thread I know effectic life story. Wtf

x2

the struggle is real

[Ted_v2]

ideally i can see myself living with a salary of around 7k a month, i can safely pay all my bills and expenses.
maintain a vehicle and still occasionally splurge.

Note.
I dont have to pay rent,nor pay for a vehicle.

just mind meh arse

[AllTrac]

You have a nice project to do next year once you get in if that is your field. Once the course project doesn't change for System Dynamics.

[jmccomie]

$150 a week? nah Effectic on jones with allyuh

[desifemlove]

ent $30,000 a month seen as "bess" salary?

Ent it like everywhere else, as in obligations, needs, wants, industry averages, national comparisons?

So $30,000 a month for a single man wit no chirren is cool. same for a family of two parents and 5 chirren in a 4 bedroom house, mortgage and 2 cars, not so much.

[Spitfir3]

after reading this thread i know to duck ah lime if i hear effectic gonna be there cause he gonna drink everybody rounds and when is his turn he gonna get ah sudden phone call

[SR]

After reading this thread its clear that my salary is way below what men quoting here for comfortable living.








Sends off a letter to d rasta for lanate
