Assuming you're in the US or Europe, that sounds like you're working part-time, close to minimum wage?

If youre living somewhere else, it's not really comparable since cost of living can vary drastically.

    OK, in Serbia that makes sense. Apparently the average wage is 11,570 $ (15,016 $ gross) vs ~$80k in the US. That corresponds to ~$940 monthly, so you're a bit below average in Serbia, but not alarmingly so. Rent seems to be $425-575 depending on the area, whereas in the US, rent is $1400-1700.

    I'm not implying lifestyle is equivalent between countries just by comparing "cost of living", I'm merely pointing out that directly comparing costs isn't very effective. I could probably live a lot better on $50k in Serbia (would probably have servants and whatnot) than I could on $100k in the US (basically paycheck to paycheck in many parts of the US).
