Guess how much money I made this year?

$49,452



Guess how much I brought home?

$35,821



That's a 28% cut. Let's look at taxes, shall we?:



$9212 for an 18.6% rate, not bad.. I know the cut has always been 28% but I forgot about the health benefits, parking, and savings.



oh wait. So the savings was at 3282 (I think I have 10%, maybe it's 8%, going into savings). That means I really made $39,000. only 21.1% of my paycheck doesn't go to me.. dang, huge difference. Plus, I get I believe an extra 6% toward my savings from the company which equals $1302 according to the pay site. that means I really made about 40,000, maybe 40,300. that means I only lose 18.5% of my earnings... dang. not bad at all.



funny thing is, both you and jimmy are making more than me with all of the benefits you guys get.



I worked 1969 hours. hey hey hey (funny thing about this: my manager said that for the CCRN certification, the nurse has to have 1000 hours which is one year.. I was like, no, that's half a year, 'cause 2000 hours is one working year.. she was like "no, 1000 is a year".. so I said "take 52 weeks x 40 hours, that's just over 2000." her reply: "well, with lunch breaks, that brings it closer to 1000." hahahahahaha... ok.. i just shut up after that.
