I make 6 figures and I’m comfortable because I’m debt free and I don’t buy anything except food. My phone bill is $19/month (prepaid). My phone service is better now than it was when I was paying $100/month with a regular AT&T plan. I’m about to save more money by moving into a more affordable apartment. It no longer makes sense to me to be paying 2k/month for a one bedroom when I’ve toured places just as nice for 1,300.

Not being mean, but you’re probably living above your means. I’m 52 and retired. I live off of the interest in my investment accounts and have investment properties that are paid off. No debt. It can be done. You just have to focus.

People will say it's how you manage your money but in this economy. You can make good money and have a bidget and be good with money and still be struggling.

Literally same boat as you!! I put my check stubs and bank statements into chat and it flat out told me you’re paying essentials and living within your means, yet with my 6 figures inflation is eating us up 😩 we’re all feeling the squeeze of the economy and what the govt has decided to do to is citizens. I just cover my finances in prayer and go to work to do my best because I can’t imagine how ppl are surviving off less 😣

Very relatable with a six figure income here. I made decisions to take rent from 2350 to 875 by moving from Atlanta and back to Alabama. I kept my WFH job and did not put my baby in daycare this time. Groceries, I shop alot of farmer's markets and veggie stands, and Walmart. Paid off CC debt from bonuses and income tax this year. I do pay the same amount of student loans reduced payment plan as you. So one paycheck covers everything now.

Just think… only 10% of the US makes $100k or more. So if low six figures earners are struggling, just imagine with folks earning less are dealing with

My students loans are so high l am embarrassed to say what it is. You are not alone. Six figures sounds good but it is probably equivalent to more like 70k. This country wants adults working a 40 hr plus a side hustle. 😳
