For those of you worried we are off topic here, and leaving fishbuck stranded - we already solved that issue - see the 100 bucks a month thread -
hes all set. so now all this thread is about is waiting for Hook to actually provide proof of his statement. we are still waiting for him to
provide us a name of an individual Cal CC teacher who makes 100K a year and only works 20 hours. I stand ready and waiting to verrify his claim, and
admit I am wrong, but so far - once he got called out on his BS - he seems to have went silent!

I've seen Mexican hobos in Baja living like this. Once it was a wreck of a school bus near local dump, another time - a wreck of RV bus in a flood
zone. Buses were not going anywhere, no wheels. I believe $US 300 was what all their clan of 5 or 6 was living on.
Realistically, for a gringo it's at least $400-500/month on top of housing costs if he eats only what he cooks. No tacos.

Are you saying $400-500 for food per month? Or does that include other non-housing costs?

Fishbuck Yes $400-500 for food for a month is less than $17 per day
Caj13 Yes teachers can easily make over $100k especially when you include benefits in total compensation which is often %30-40 of salary to cover
medical insurance etc. for the whole family Salaries are public anyone can google it including you here is an example of pay scale without benefits so
add %30-40

never questioned the 100K Gnukid, The point of contention is this "only work 20 hours per week" claim by Hook. still patiently waiting for him to
provide a real life example of that!

Who counts their benefit package when they are bragging about how much money they make?
I'm going to try it next time I brag how much money I make, especially if I'm at bar talking to a young lady, or at a stupid forum trying to impress
others.
JJJ talking: " Hey did you know I make over $100,000 dollars a year, if you count my benefit package?"
Girl at the bar. " Goodbye, loser.
Baja Nomad member, " JJJ, I'm really impressed, that's more than I make on SS."

Including everything but rent.
Grocery alone is not nearly that much, but then there are bills, propane, car repairs, gas, over the counter meds, occasional dental, new pair of
glasses - endless. Even with rental home there is always some spending on "casa", something to fix/buy/repair.

In Newport the girls ask for your Credit report before they will date you. That's at the bar when you 1st try to talk to them.
$100,000 is considered a "homeless" loser in Newport.

Ok, that is what I was thinking.
I gotta gave cable and wifi.
I like burning electricity. I like lights.
I like cooking with fire
I like being warm.
I'm not afraid of being too warm. I like it. Burn may need aircon in summer.
I like water. I'm a showeraholic and obsessive clean freak. Some have refered to me as "anal retentive". I prefer "cleanfreak" or "germaphobe".
I will try and start my plants so probably lots of water for seedlings etc...
How much is average water cost for 1 person?
Electricity for 1?
How much is cable in Baja?
I burn $230/month here for electric. It's been cold.
In summer here aircon is prefered for about 3-4 months.
Cable is $300 with wifi (700 channels of cra*!).
Phone $300/month.

My roommate pays $25 a month for WiFi in Campo Lopez. You can get an ATT plan for about $40 that works in Baja.

Total salary + benefits package is what is reported for teachers, there is a multibillion dollar lawsuit against LA schools for forcing out teachers
with high salary and high benefits since teachers benefits cover their families which can be very high, people do quote salary and benefits as their
total compensation, unless you have no benefits JJJ and it is a big deal to current and future significant others. I have school teacher friends who
earn 40k base and 60k benefits when calculated for all family members.

I don't remember why my phone bill is so high. But everytime I look into it that is the correct amount.
With Sprint.
And I get a good Boeing discount too.
The basic service plus unlimited data, a tablet with a couple hours of time, I had three phones on it but down to two now.
So I want to dump my US phone or at least downsize the service as much as I can.
I can still see a need for for 2 phones. 1 US and 1 Baja.
Is it possible to have 1 phone that does both and doesn't cost a ton of pesos?

You are a fool to pay 300/month for phone and 300/month for cable tv
