It depends on where they live. In Hollywood, 195k wouldn't, really be enough, because the cost of living is so high. Where the cost of living is low, like rural Mississippi, it would be plenty."Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid" Redd Foxx as Al Royal - The Royal Family - Pilot Episode - 1991.

It should be more than enough to live, but considering I know how much my parents make AND they seem to throw it all away, I can see how someone like this woman would say it's not enough money. That actually sounds like my mother!Don't tempt pixies, it never ends well.

People are just screwy with money, simple as that. Pro athletes always amaze me for that. Some of them bring home more money PER GAME than a small town will see all year, and they still go on strike for more money.Something kind of sad about the way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety?

We are by no means rich and I don't even have any sort of real income to speak of. We still manage to live like kings. You know why? We aren't doing our level best to spend every penny that comes in our house on extravagant crap.
We both drive used cars (nice used cars, I might ad. A PT Cruiser and a Dodge Grand Caravan. Nothing fancy.) And I assure you I make my own coffee every single morning.
We go out of our way to not spend money we don't have to spend and live below our means. That way, if we need or even want money, there it is. We have it because we haven't blown it on extravagant crap.
I look at it this way: When I was at my poorest, living in a rotting trailer in the sticks and driving a shitbox, with holes in the walls and cheese I'd stolen out of the "destined for the trash" pile at the restaurant I worked at in my refridgerator, I STILL had it better than most people in the world. I had a roof, my own car, climate control, clean water, and enough food to keep from starving. People confuse what they "want" with what they "need."
We don't even "need" much.

I could live like a king on $195,000 a year. Of course, I live in a small (2 bedroom) home in the 'burbs, have two cars (one thoroughly used, the other bought new), the kitties, my model collection, etc. But, other than that...I don't require much in the way of entertainment. Once I get the car paid for, and some other bills, I'll have more each month to hide away.
As for Ms. 195,000, I have a feeling that they're throwing money away on stupid shit that they "need." It doesn't matter how much you have, some people will always try to live outside their means. I know people on my street who have more money than brains. They're always cruising around in expensive cars, dressed to the 9s, yet are constantly bitching and moaning about how they can't meet the mortgage payment that monthAerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

This crap is why we call several of the shows on HGTV Entitlement Whores International, Entitlement Whores US Edition and Entitlement Whores NY.
I mean, really. Most of them would pop a blood vessel if they walked into my shoes for a day. We have an anual income of about $40K US, live in an 800 sq foot house that has not had much beyond routine maintenance in 20 years, though we have bought the stuff and are gradually making it over as hubbs gets the time [he leaves for work at 6 am, and returns at 7 or 8 PM most days, and telecommutes at least 6 hours most weekends] and the only real luxury is a hot tub that is a theraputic recommendation from my orthopede to make my life bearable.
I honestly do not know what to make of a family that spends $500K US on a main house, then is off looking for a tropical vacation place with a budget of $300 K US ... our place cost us $91 K US and is appraised for $135K US.
And to put the icing on the cake? This moron is moving to Holland to take a job and the job is located a 15 minute train ride out of the center of Amsterdam in a charming little village. She wants a flat in the center of Amsterdam. She is also bringing 2 fairly sizable dogs with her.EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

i think the whole idea of there not being enough money to this women was that she had to do certain things for herself and had to buy things that weren't brand spanking new.
Not so much about where she lived and how much she maked.
I think it's in all agreement that just about everyone would be very happy was $195,000 a year.I can only please one person a day, today isn't your day, and tomorrow doesn't look good either.
When someone asks you a stupid question, give them a stupid answer.
