The vast majority of the people on this site are kids that are still in college and live off mommy and daddy or student loans.
I pull in about $3,000 a month after taxes and health insurance, so I make a net amount of 36-40k/year. Now I'll grant you the fact that I am single with no dependents and that I'm kind of a cheap skate, but I have thousands in the bank and I go out of town every time I have 2 or more days off of work in a row. I buy new clothes all the time and don't even pay attention to gas prices or food prices. If you can't live off of 60k/year then the problem is you. Also, your friend is an idiot ...you have to work your way up in the real world, you don't just start at the top if you have no experience.

you "slave away at Tim Hortons and Walmart." "after a couple years of searching" you're balking at 60K?
Let her make her own decisions. She may be looking for several more years.
Take it!
Unless your cost of living is really high AND you spend a lot of money on extra things you don't need, then $60,000 is pretty damn good. You're not getting ripped off at all, it sounds like you've got your life together. I don't know why your friend reacted that way, she's either unaware or messing with you for some reason...
"She's looking for a job in the same field as me"...depends what field your job is in...but generally, she just sounds like she is jealous (she's still looking and you've gotten a job already) and doesn't have any idea what she's talking about. Especially as a starting salary, that sounds awesome!
Your friend is either jealous or is living in a fantasy world where you make one mil a year. 60 K is good, and seriously even if it wasn't at least you make money and are working.

Shes jealous 60 is f***ing good for starting out. I do thinking your just bragging because it took me five years and a masters to get 60. Most never make it.
$60k a year is good starting salary coming out of a 4 year college...granted...after a year or so you will get a significant raise if you have a degree.
of course it is. my dad supports a family of 7 with just slightly more than that, plus we live in a city with an very high cost of living. Maybe your friend was trying to be competitive with you.
60K a year is a waste of time? Your friend is a dumb bitch.
If you can handle your finances correctly it is
She sounds jealous to be honest. Pay her no mind60k is quite fine as a starting salary. Then again, I don't know what field you are in, but 60k is respectable in this day and age
uh, you're friend is stupid. lol. 60,000 is great. my mom only made 30,000 when she had her job.
so congratulations, that's a great start.Your miss know it all friend is jealous & knows 60k is great, especially to start. She's pissed you got a job before her.
What kind of a job is it? BTW that's a great starting salary.
I only make $45,000 a year. I would love to make $60,000!
Unless your friend is making more, your "friend" sounds jealous.
Depends on where you live
Lol 60,000 is pretty decent. What's your field?
nope, 60,000 starting salary is very good
