Charter schools, social norming and zero-sum games

36k before taxes

- 2.2k (FICA)

- 4k (Health Insurance)

- 4.3k (Income Tax)

- 1k (3% matching Simple IRA)

but ignoring 3.8k into HSA and 6k going to Roth IRA because we are probably too poor to do that

whopping 24.5k

If you spend less than that I'd love to know what is in the care packages your mom sends you each week.

You're right that I forgot to factor in taxes. I agree that 24.5k is not enough if you have dependents. I think it's doable as a single person. You would need to go into debt if you needed to buy a car or something that year, but also, this is the entry level salary for new hires. You can expect your salary to go up, probably on a predefined schedule.

The part about my mother was unnecessary.
