1500 - 2000 pm OR 25K ... 900 for rent , 200 for utilities / cable / tv /phone and 400 for groceries . Car add 500 more .... give or take 200.

45K ~ 35K after taxes .... You should be good ... Not buying a car you can save more but waste more time in public transport .

Fido.

You need $ 120,000 /- before taxes per annum if you want to live in a Decent Locality, have a decent house , have decent cars , have membership of decent clubs for sports etc, have decent vacations atleast twice a year and save for your kids college.

You know you are a desi when ........ You spew forth the virtues of India, but don't want to live there...............You've never had a tanning salon membership

Don't scare people loser

I can tell $45K won't cut it. But come on, $120K? I am not sure many here can expect to get paid that much...let alone newbies.

You should change you ID to "winner"

$ 120 K is middle class income if you are living on less then that , then you are cutting a lot of corners. Basically you are sacrificing many important things.

somebody actually once mentioned $250,000 on CD for a comfortable life.

that was 2-3 years ago.
maybe now it's $300,000?

here's a link to an article in Toronto Life.
