Is $50,000 a year a decent income for one person in the U.S

Could one adult live comfortable off of this amount. Generally speaking only

No. It's 60,000 at least or you go to jail.

Well if the online convertor is correct, that makes it £32,080 British money. I would kill to be a single person with that income. I currently live off a third of that so I would assume yes it is more than expected that $50,000 would provide a good living. If that has converted right that is

Depends on where in the US. If you live in San Francisco, you'd be considered poor on 50,000 a year, but if you lived in Forth Smith, Arkansas, you'd be a rich person

I would hold out for $1,500,000 if I were you.

Totally agree. Don't know why anyone would settle for less.

I think I drank too much last night.

I want to drink too much now, before I go to work.

Work pretty much makes me want to drink too.

Oh, that's not good.


My work would be too dangerous if I was drunk. Too many sharp knives and machines.

Yeah, my biggest risk is dropping a book on my head and paper cutting myself to death.

That in itself is torture.

I'll save you a few days' trouble.

$40,000 a year-- yes
$30,000 a year-- in most places, yes
$20,000 a year-- Maybe..really depends on where you live
$10,000 a year-- No, not really.

Is there a point coming?

What one considers poor is what another may consider rich or comfortable. It depends on what you want and where you live.

I would be quite content to be living off that amount of money per year and wouldn't complain.

I don't get out of bed for $1000 a day SMH
