      Turning off that feature sure was among the better choices when it comes to my social media use and mental well-being. Knowing Lemmy, it’s probably my choice of transportation.

        Are you living alone? That’s the only way I can make those numbers add up. I’ve got a similar lifestyle but repairs/food/dependants mean I need a significantly higher income to break even AND save for retirement.

          I’d be living even cheaper than this if I was living alone. My average monthly expenses for the past 3 years have been 2989.22€ including retirement investments.

                Why do I need to ask that? I know it’s expensive.

                Because what you’re stating about your budget doesn’t take into consideration the social safety you’re leveraging that americans have to allocate additional budget for (or risk the consequences).

        Really? I would have guessed jealousy, like a petty “tHeY hAvE iT EaSy” or something else small-minded. Either way, kudos!
