I'm very happy to see that you were able to get a nice job! I'm a mechanical engineer and unemployed for 2 years, hope my luck turn arround soon

@@kurger100 I've already tried before but there are too many unemployed engineers in my country, so the competition is very hard. A lot of them have PhD or masters degree, what puts them way ahead in the selection process

In the moment you said you were a mechanical engineer and unemployed for two years, i knew you were brazilian 😓 F At 27 years old i'm about to start mechanical(probably) engineer here too... fuck... wish me lucky. I surely wish you!

[@donharrold1375]

You’re obviously employed again which is great. Keep working hard to add value and you’ll be fine.

[@JJ-rp2df]

Indulging in extravagance is a normal part of working. Tracking and keeping it under control is the challenge.

[@KINGSOMALIA]

Wow, thats really good money! Here in the UK, as a mechanical engineer, I only earnt £42,000 as starting salary which is around $55,000

[@LuisRojas-mz2mg]

Assuming a generous 75% take home on the 150k, the monthly post-tax income comes to something like 9400$. Not sure what his savings rate would be

[@WhatIsThis-zq4hk]

For real. This video is worrying. Dude is saving maybe a few hundred a month at most which is no where near enough to retire. My guess is that his parents probably help him out in different ways

[@harry4901]

the glow up between this and your 'day in the life of an unemployed' is crazy. gg

Treating yourself with silly purchases are okay in the beginning of a big job. After that I chill Congratulations on getting a great job

[@천성득-b4v]

Hello, I'm a mech graduate as well. I wonder what you did and how you studied for the job searching. any tips would be great. Thanks

[@braunbaerchen98]

First I watched your video on A Day In the Life... and I am happy to discover this one on spending. Congratulations!

[@ShootItALBY]

You can easily do away with those designer wear clothing. It's complete nonsense and a waste of money. You probably also purchase Supreme lol

[@ЕвгенийВасильев-щ7в]

instead of materialistic desires maybe people shoud think about passive incomings.

The business expense over $2k on monthly basic is consider high pricing item from my humble opinion...

[@stephena1385]

You are so right! I saved every penny possible after I started working and it slowly became an obsession that tore me apart😪

[@madao4024]

$50 a month on a tshirt? you have to be trolling🤣

[@theoc007]

Idk how your able to keep taxes low Boston would take 30.05% of your income so 45k would be gone from that but your monthly is going over that? gotta chill on some purchases man its kinda worrying 😅 You might not be spending that now but I would defin try to follow the 50/30/20 rule with your net salary so you can aim for retirement early and live comfortably when emergencies occur. Good video though and keep it up.

Is the 150k net or gross salary? How much do you pay in taxes?

[@EngineeringGoneWild]

It’s gross unfortunately and tax is around 30%😅

[@dekev7503]

That leaves you with about $8750. But your expense is almost $10k, do you have another income stream that offsets the deficit?

[@dekev7503]

@@Saki630 why don’t you get off his dick and and reason for yourself fanboy, it’s a simple question that I asked.

[@setsu2221]

@@Saki630 what's wrong with you? dekev was just questioning the budget, because it seemed odd that he was seemingly using more money than he was earning. If we look at business equipment, and how he decided to list it in the monthly budget, it's obvious where the mistake came from. EngineeringGoneWild decided to phrase it incorrectly at 08:13. "I paid ... per month". It is not fair to call this a monthly budget, as he included several one-time purchases, and didn't account for some hypothetical time frame until he would upgrade or replace them. Instead, this is a month-specific budget. His true budget might fluctuate: month 1 -> month 2 -> ... -> month N $9500 -> $4500 -> $4500 -> $5500 -> $20000 -> $4500 or whatever. Instead, it would probably be more fruitful to look at the essentials and relatively consistent costs, such as rent and food.

[@goru426]

What you do is really irresponsible. You should save most of your money and purchase a house or two and invest in the markets. Eventually you will lose your job and will regret all the stupid decisions you made.
