Average Monthly Salary for a Decent Living

[DonT]

In light of our current economic situation, What do you guys think is the reasonable Monthly Net Salary of a Household of Four with 2 young kids?
This should be exclusive of tax and assuming no Home Rental and Car Mortgage.

Thanks in advance for you inputs.

kung walang home rental and car mortgage.. hmm our employees survives with 20T a month net.. so depende sa lifestyle yan.. some kasya kahit 15T a month..

with two kids? nowadays to have a decent means of living just above the survival 3-meal-per-day indicator, the husband and wife should have a total income of 45k (1000 USD) for the basic food clothing shelter plus education and pay the utility bills, rent/morgage and in my opinion - a modest car...

IMO, should be not lower than P50K take home per month....

well kung kasama home rental and car.. 2 kids.. hmm siguro 50T net a month.. pero tanda ko non.. 2 na anak ko.. 12T lang sweldo ko.. kasya naman.. mga 10 years ago..

pag dyan sa NCR, dapat 50k net for a decent comfortable quality of life.

pag sa provinces/small cities naman, 30k sobra sobra na.

I think, around P50,000. Ok na 'to, meron ka pang konting savings.

talk about income...

from today's business mirror: Our middle class is shrinking (which is already small to start with)
http://businessmirror.com.ph/10292007/headlines02.html

The people who authored the study defines middle class as "those families with present annual income of P251,283 to P2,045,280"

that's minimum P20,000 a month.

Decent living is subjective. What could be decent living for 1 person could be bare survival for another.

I'd rather think of it this way ---- After taking care of your family's basic needs, and u still have leftover money for hobbies or luho... then that's decent living.

around 150-200K a month.

I agree with this. Every one has their own definition of decent living.
