Employment Contract Negotiations

You think there are very few here who make $70k a year?

I'm betting it's a low percentage. We'll never know. I DO know that my daughter is close to that less than two years out of school...and to think all the shit I took about people saying McCombs wasn't "worth it".

70k is respectable, but hardly GOOD money.

Nailed it.

lol...

Id say good money is $40k+ and GOOD money would be $70k+

I am not sure if I got it or not. I feel the interview went really well. Now it is a waiting game

Glad it went well...waiting sucks.

Don't know if it's your style or not, but i've had good luck/success sending brief thank you notes to the interviewing party the day after. it's a good way to keep your name fresh on their minds.

Hopefully you gave him a good "Tommy Boy" close on why he should hire you.

Very true...the DFW area, $70k is good to me. Houses are affordable, gas is cheap compared to the rest of the nation, etc. I guess like sc281 says it is all relative to your expenses.

I have definitely found the more I make, the more I spend which leaves me about where I was.

It continues too, ala keeping up with the Jones'.

I think once it gets to a point and you're not one of those "gottahaveit!!!" types, you'll find a plateau on spending and be able to save more. I also believe once i have paid back my student loans and get out of a state taking 9% of my money, i will be in a better place financially.

nah, i made a shade over 75k last year and by no means am making 'GOOD' money.. i have enough to pay my bills, save, and have fun.. but i still dont think that constitutes 'GOOD' money. also location has a lot to do with it, as 100k/yr in cali isn't shit compared to 100k/yr in midland/odessa

Or have a bunch of people that don't feel as if they make enough.

I find it more interesting that people dont think teh OP will make enough money. He isnt shy to say that making $19/hr is $10/hr more than he makes now. For people to try and belittle him or act like they are better because they make more is crazy. Greenville expenses Im sure are less than they are here in DFW. To top it off, he is surviving. $10/hr raise would be a great leap for him.

Shit's ridiculous in M/O. Rent on a shitty 2br apartment is a grand a month, at least!

I guess that was a bad example.. lets use Amarillo instead.

Apparently this crowd is cream of the crop... I forgot, we are the home of the $30k millionaire.
