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.

okay. €. Here’s the catch. ask the americans what they pay for health insurance and childcare…
Why do I need to ask that? I know it’s expensive.

This isn’t a competition
Really? I would have guessed jealousy, like a petty “tHeY hAvE iT EaSy” or something else small-minded. Either way, kudos!
