As we all know, Austin isn’t Austin anymore. With the current avg salary of 68K per year, according to pay scale.com, and the high cost of living... how are you making it?!
What do you people do? I wanna know. I have a professional job, but it is very difficult to make an actual steady income over 40k and that’s with really hustling your ass off.
I found myself not being able to work a steady job for the next few months due to personal family issues. I just think to myself, if I didn’t have this as my side hustle, I’d be out on the street by now. And I’m not a lazy person.
I’m curious, how many side hustles do you guys have? Where in the world does one find a safe sane roommate(s) when you have kids?
Guys complain about rates and I can respect that, but I work and do this, don’t spend money and I’m barely making it as of late. Most of that is due to my limited schedule and personal obligations the next couple of months, but damn!
I’m considering going back to college for a different degree or moving further away if I don’t find a creative solution soon.
It’s sad when 60k-70k isn’t enough to live on! Smh.
