RE: Being a Freelance Artist - How Much Should You Charge to Your Clients? (Pt.2)
Well done - I would say you came pretty close to the US - For a family of 4 to survive you need at least 2,000 and to live well 3-4.000. Just because adding kids into the mix you have school stuff, medical expenses, more food (good lord the food bills), more tickets to fun places to travel to (which are expensive). But I guess if you are a single person - your numbers are spot on! Interesting read - thank you for sharing :)
EDIT: And as I saw in a previous comment I have to agree that it does vary based on where in the US you are as they mention. North Carolina is pretty inexpensive, costs of homes or rent is much cheaper compared to New York City, California, or parts of Florida for example.
Yeah California is crazy expensive.
Wow, that s so much ! I can't even believe it !
What are you guys doing in US? xD
Yeah, its kind of ridiculous at how expensive it can be - the inflation of things can be a bit insane. The biggest expense I would think for most are health insurances, house bills, vehicle expense and maintenance, and food. Just those necessities can cost a lot and cost more the more people in your family you support. It's crazy - when the kids graduate I'm moving to Amsterdam lol Seems nice there!
Sounds like a plan! I haven't been there yet, but i've heard that it is extremely beautiful !
Me either, and me too!
