I am a surveyor with 1-3 years beyond high school. My median monthly income is $3000 dollars. After taxes I take home $2100. Every year I take home $36000 without taxes. With the choices I make on how I spend my money, it greatly effects how my budget will look. I had to invest in some things more than others. For example, I chose to ride a bike instead of owning a car so that I wouldn't have to pay for the car or car insurance. I found a place to live that was decent with a rent that wasn't above $750. I learned that having $3000 a month is not as bad as it seems if I budget my money the right way. With everything that I have experienced through this quest, budgeting is very important in how to go on through life.
