Wait till they graduate and start making 22k, then their perspective on 50k will change. It ain't ballin, but its damned sufficient. Chill on the ******g semantics when you know exactly what's being implied. Y'all live to argue dumb ****.

Wait, understanding one's opinion doesnt Effect yours? What? Your original statement was that 50k isnt a lot, then you recanted saying that it may be for some. You understanding it has officially changed your opinion and lead you to dissuade yourself out of your original opinion and agreeing to be a pretentious (jerk) person.

One thinking they are above any job is quite pretentious.

50k is good money imo. Not enough for a household, but if you live on your own you're not going to struggle with 50k a year.

You are mistaken.
I'm 25 years old, work full time, make around $38K a year working a job outside of my field (requires no degree, by the way), and I'm starting Nursing school in the Fall.
Don't get me wrong: like I said initially, $50K is nothing to sneeze at. Let's not kid ourselves though, if $50K is "getting paid," then the majority if the work force is "getting paid." I think that term is being thrown around a little too loosely when you fall into the working class. It's good money for a job that requires no degree, but you're not ballin'.

Once again, someone is equating balling to their own standards. That is a very objective response. I am from the DMV and in no way is 50k ballin here but to compare it to The cost of living of some other place (or what one considers living) is quite objective.
One should take it as a case by case scenario.
I don't think that folks should judge a person on what they consider ballin.
Your interpretation of "ballin" may be different from others. It doesnt make yours any more correct.

Ninjahood specifically mentioned a $50K salary in NEW YORK CITY. If $50K isn't ballin' in DMV, it's DEFINITELY not ballin' in NYC.

lol, did you read the rest of what I wrote?
It has nothing to do with the quantity but moreso the objective term of what is ballin.
A millionaire can tell someone making 250k that they are not ballin.
All I am saying is that term is objective and that 50k could do much more for others in a different region than you.
50k aint much in NY or the DMV, which is fine, but 50k is quite lucrative in other regions.
Which is why, when one says 50k aint nuffin, thats merely a personal opinion. And not a popular opinion at all.
Please say that YOU( since you enjoy caps) find it insufficient but dont include others, that is your opinion, which isnt shared by many.

Please learn the difference between "objective" and "subjective."
It is subjective, and in the context of the discussion, this is my SUBJECTIVE opinion of why I don't think $50K is "ballin." I never said it was "nothing" either. In fact, I said it was "nothing to sneeze at." However, this has turned into a dumb semantic argument over something that is based entirely off of personal opinion. That will be all from me.

Also to add, ninja didnt say 50k was ballin. He stated a starting figure of his region. And I am not saying that it is ballin in NYC or the DMV.
But you happen to be genuinely try to dismiss that figure as much.

^Really it's just the South in general. Some 350K home in LA/NY could be under 125K and under in Texas. Same style and the same type of area and everything.

This is true. The last spot I RENTED in San Diego 2010 was a two bed apartment for 1100. Not a terrible spot, but far from nice. I moved to North Carolina for work and I pay 900 for my mortgage on a 4bedroom 2 bath house with a basement plus 2 acres of land. I hate mowing that yard but point is "ballin" is all depending on where you live or your situation.
My 3 cents.

It's a popular opinion that 50K a year is getting paid?
Growing up, I was always appalled at how much teachers made. Do you know what their salary is? Mid 40s. If the popular opinion is that teachers don't make a lot, how can it also be a popular opinion that 50K is getting paid?
If you're happy with 50K a year, that's fine. I have no quarrel with you. Everyone is entitled to enjoy the fruits of their labor, regardless of how it's perceived by others (myself included).

no i dont think its a popular opinion but it is a realistic salary that someone could live a comfortable life on. Everybody agrees that teachers, cops, firemen, soldiers, e.m.t. workers dont get paid enough but it doesnt stop people from taking those jobs because that 40k a year they can make work and for some its not about the money but the reward of saving , teaching , or protecting

I'm not discussing if you can live with 40-50K, nor am I discussing the underlying reasons for undertaking underpaid occupations.
But I understand your perspective and agree with it. Wealth used to be a strong motivator in life for me, the reason I got up and went to sleep. But as part of the maturation process, it has dropped in the standings. I believe good relationships, self-expression, and honesty with oneself are far more important for obtaining the quality of life I truly desire.
