Geico is the worst. I had an accident in early December that I was not at fault with 2 forms of video evidence that it was the other guys fault. He also had Geico. It took them forever to pay me out for my totaled car, I had to keep hounding them as I was left without any form of transportation after the short window they paid for my rental. I was also hurt in the accident and am still dealing with them constantly denying my doctor's requests for tests that are very much needed. I still don't have a diagnosis almost 2 months later because they keep screwing me. They also doubled my rate despite me not being at fault. I cancelled my policy with them and moved to NJM who my mom has had for years and she has had better experiences with claims with them. Geico is garbage.

yup! my thinking exactly. As a single person with no debt you'll want to make 60K to be able to afford acceptable housing and maybe save a little money. A two person household should really be bringing in 100K at least. at 100-120K a year you can start to afford a normal life and start pulling away from poverty slightly.

> exactly a year ago yesterday we had a massive snowstorm.

Massive? I don't know where you are, but I had that come up in my Facebook memories thing yesterday. It was a picture of my new snowblower, which I only used because I'd never tried it before. It was barely enough to bother and if I didn't want to test the machine out I probably would have done it almost as easily with a shovel. Scrolling through my pictures, there was barely any left at all a couple of days later. It was hardly more than a dusting.

I would say barely if you have no debt, yeah. but it's barely getting by. I don't live there yet, but im planning on moving there. 60,000 is what you want to make as a single person with no debt, to be able to afford rent, car, and expenses and maybe save a little cash.

65K for two people with no debt is still possible, but I would try to bump that to 75K. Ideally a houshold of two people should bring in over 100K a year. New jersey is a very expensive place to live.
