A couple of us have explained that $2,500 a month (before taxes) isn't very much for someone to live on in 2021. 

 

 

 

Unless they're kc's son and they get paid 11,000 pesos per month.

 A good portion of our armed forces live on that salary

Wtf are you talking about?  Federal poverty level for a family of 4 is $26,500.  So, sure, I guess if you consider "living on that" to be "making marginally more than the literal federal poverty level"--plus likely getting some federal and state assistance--yeah, guess you're right.

[Taylor]

$2,500 barely gets you a 2-bedroom apartment in OC.

Maybe Lou thinks a family equals one person plus a dog?

Ok, but you're wrong. 

Do you honestly think a single guy who makes $2500/mo., gets additional benefits like s per diem, can't live off of that?

Let’s face it. Unskilled labor doesn’t pay well in any profession. This guy isn’t good at what he does.

Apparently they can only live off it by rooming with five other people. Unless you think they're wasting all their money on hookers and booze.

You know I feel guilty sometimes I get 2600 a month from va. Then I remember all the years I made 800 a month for family of 3

I live in Rancho. I've seen what these players do with there time off. 

You nailed it.

Where does he live? What bills does he have? What's his family situation?

Those things are important to consider. 

Could you live off 2500 a month?

[Lou]

Here's an idea....

why don't you guys help these poor kids out? Let's see just how concerned you are about their welfare.

Yes, because Lou seems fine with living at roughly the poverty level.  Shouldn't be an issue.

So?

The cheapest 2-bedroom apartments in the U.S. are in Springfield, MO. $850 per month. Factor in utilities, gas and transportation, food, doctor visits, etc., $2,500 would still not leave you with much in f'ing Springfield, MO.

[Kotchman]

Yes

I sure as hell would make it work.

If i couldn't, i would either supplement my income or find a different job.

I can't even find 1-bedroom apartments that cheap.

I have plenty of money to donate to their GoFundMe's because I make more than $2,500 per month. I'm so rich I can almost pay for parking.

$2500/mo isn't the poverty level for a single male.

That's because you don't want to live in the armpit of America.

 

No offense, KC and Don.
