As the article says, she could sleep 90 minutes longer. And if she drove to work, she does have a car, she could easily leave at five.
She could also get a 3200 dollar apartment where she used to live, have at least two rooms, sleep late and still have 3550 left every month.
Maybe medical insurance and such things that we europeans don't need to buy are very expensive, but apart from that it doesn't seem very difficult to live on 3500 after rent for a single person. My whole family spends less than that after rent, four people in one of the most expensive cities in the world, Copenhagen.
I must be missing part of the equation here.
- got2surf 9y agoTake-home salary after taxes could be a lot less than $6,750 per month. Health insurance is probably reasonably priced given that she seems to have a government job. But I do see your point - she could (and many do) live closer, pay more, and sleep more.
- Grustaf 9y agoGood point about the tax, American salaries are quoted pre tax of course! I've spendt the whole afternoon with my nose in P&Ls, where the quoted salary is pretty much what is interesting. In any case, I feel the headline is pretty sensationalistic, even if she wants to live where she lives, she could probably get up at 5 and drive to work.
