I own a business. Passed down from sister to sister. But it's not where I see myself in the future. That's why i figured asking the questions I did on Allnurses would help me understand. A lot of you are nice in giving me your time to respond. A lot of you kind of just only saw the car part of the thread (which is upsetting bc that wasn't my main point). I appreciate it guys, really.

Thanks! My parents tell me stories about how hard they've worked to give my sisters and I the life we have. I understand how valuable money is and how important it is to survive in this world. I'm not asking this in hopes to live luxurious. Also, a lot of people are commenting on the car part of the thread. The car note isn't $500, I just pay that (because that's how much I can afford to pay it monthly) so that I can pay it off quicker. Sorry for the confusion. &I thanks for the replies again. I pretty much understand now.

To be completely honest, it was just an example. The numbers aren't exact. I just thought it would be easier if I gave yall numbers to work with. Thanks for the feedback.

I have a 2015 Camry hybrid XLE.

Water, Internet, gas,emergencies.. I like to overestimate. Haha. Mississippi. & if possible, $1,000 into savings a month. I'm really uneducated in this field. I just graduated from HS & I feel as if they DID NOT prepare me for life.

Hey there! Okay, so hear me out. Or well, read.. lol. I know there are a few threads about "comfortable living" but I kinda wanted to get some answers to my own questions. I define comfortable living as NOT having to live paycheck by paycheck. Say I am single. No kids. I live in an apartment $700 monthly, pay a car note of $500 monthly, $70 for cellphone, $140 for insurance, let's add miscellaneous $1,590 to make the bills an even $3,000 monthly. Will I be able to live comfortable? $3,000 in bills monthly, will an RN's salary be sufficient? Please don't be mean or sarcastic, I'm really looking for some personal experience. Answers from those whom have gone down a similar path as I plan to pursue. Thanks so much in advance for taking your time to read this post and/or even replying!
