Most people who claim to make 50k at 18 years of age are full of sh!t...

 

$420/mo. for insurance?? That's a huge problem right there. I just turned 23 and live in NC and pay about $120/mo. for insurance. That car payment is helping you either. How close are you to D.C. if you're in No. VA? That could be why the rent is so high

 

I guess even if they really do make such amount, sounds like they arnt the smartest when it comes to managing it.

I dont know, really fishy when OP states they were kicked out at 16 and maraculously makes 50K a year. Decides to join an s2K forum to complain they dont know why they're so broke

Is this one of them threads where a random highschooler posts an issue to see how many replies it gets just for the hell of it?

 

learn to budget your damn money!

 

#1 way to save money: don't go out drinking every night

 

I agree or they work for their parents

 

yeah no kidding. made about 35k last year... id love to have an extra 15k a year to play with.

 

some of your bills are almost double compared to the statistical average.

 

Although the kid's post is a bit arrogant, I made 50K+ (cash) at 19, and over 75 (cash) after 21......those numbers are equivalent of six figure salaries.

I was a bartender in NYC. It's entirely possible, but I wouldn't come barging into a forum advertising it. However, not knowing what the OP actually does for his 50K, can't really comment.

 

unfortunately $50,000.00 a year us not a lot of money at all.................... ^unless its cash, I fly f----- airplanes for a living and I barely make over that, wait until I get a job at FedEx, Ill be posting on the LAmbo forums
