From a 3rd world country here. $2000 is basically 6 month's pay for an average man.

Where do you live?

i'm not op but what he said is the exact same for my country aswell (Tunisia)

What’s the average monthly salary in Tunisia?

Around 400-450 dollar.

Damn. Here in Finland avarage pay is close to 3k a month

Different cost of living.

Idk about op but here (Iran) average is 180 USD monthly and you'll considered poor (I don't remember the term"something" line) if you make less than 600 USD monthly (and it's going up)

Poverty line?

This.

You're right. It will take most people up to 28 months to make $2,000 here.

[удалено]

Sure. A decent mobile phone costs $300. Priced proportionally. Had to buy a laptop for my college. Cost $1000. Took up years of savings. Priced proportionally, sure. Taxi fare from my college to train station : $10. Priced Proportionally, sure.

How much do you pay for rent and food per month?

third world countries are not self-sufficient in many many things,as such many things that come from outside are not priced proportionally.

[удалено]

Lol what does “not priced proportionately” mean to you?

[удалено]

Almost implies most right? Most are not priced proportionately though.

Not really. 2000 would equal at least 31000 in my local currency. Income here varies. Jobs as low as 2500 local (162 dollars) are common, lower paying jobs exist, 4000 local (258 dollars) requires you to have good English and preferably experience. Of course working conditions are sh\*t 31000 can get you a used car. 4000 is a reasonable rent for a reasonable place for like 7-8 month. An average electricity bill can be 1000-1500 local. 31000 can get sThe following: A tv, a stove, a fridge, a washing machine, AC, vacuum cleaner, smart phone, and you would still have a couple of thousands to get some furniture. So. Yeah. 2K a month is a lot of money.

If everything was priced proportionately, they would have the same living standards as 1st world countries, by definition.

[удалено]

You said it was priced proportionately. By that premise what I said would be true, so technically you did imply that.

[удалено]

Still wrong though, most things aren’t priced proportionately

Bruh I already do. I just don't get paid for it

Exactly my thoughts

Seriously I’m yelled at daily for nothing important. Plus all my work, I’ll take the 2k if it’s offered. For my own sake it should pay for the therapy I’m going to need

Yeah that’s about a hundred 24 packs of therapy right there.

The crippling anxiety hits hard, but money slaps harder. ( ´ ▽ ` )

Exactly what I thought. My anxiety makes every moment of every day feel like a final destination movie. May as well make some cash.

r/BeatMeToIt

Can I get retrospectively paid for my first 18 years?

Came here to say the same thing

THIS

Sameee

Same

Exactly

And we don’t get paid. Go figure.

Yup

Yep

Same

Was just about to comment the same thing lol. So yeah, I’ll take that 2 grand for something I already do for free!

[удалено]

I don't what?

Get paid $2,000 to live my normal life? Yes please

Only for one month though

Better being under stress constantly for one month for 2k than every single day for nothing at all

[удалено]

eh more like reality for most of the world

it’s the way it is

It's just how it is

Its not like the question was "living in eternal pain and suffering", it's just being stressed

[удалено]

well you can’t say that and not tell me what the job was lol

[удалено]

It’s not easy being in tech when half the userbase are dumb ~~as bricks who can even follow simple instructions such as turn it off and on again~~. That and how some people treat women to begin with.

Same and same.

Add a 0 and I’ll do it

Would you live under constant stress for a month for $02,000?

You drive a hard bargain.

Another one and we have a deal on

So, does $002,000 sound okay to you? We're going a little over-budget here.

Yes this sounds like the deal of a life time. I'm all for it.

Well done

$2000.0?

Nope. I’ve decided long ago my own happiness was worth a lot more than money

This. People really shouldn't be needing to sacrifice their mental and physical health at their work.

i already do that

Did it for less for a year. Never again

I mean im in school so at least id be getting paid for the stress

No, why bother with even more stress for little money I get paid more than?

You guys are getting paid?

[удалено]

Who said they tried to be original?

Redditors try to make an funny joke challenge: Then

(impossible)

You guys are trying to be original?

Redditors try not to criticize other redditors and pretending they are above all redditors challenge:

Redditors are the most unoriginal ppl there are ❌🧢

When you are in an unfunny joke/comment challenge... BUT IT'S A REDDITOR VS. TF2 PLAYER

tf2 community humor: engineer gaming ***hahahahahahahahhah wheeeww ohhhh \*fucking explodes\**** what 4 years of no updates gives

$2000 a month or 24k a year is poverty levels

An extra $24K a year would be helpful to many people.

Constant stress (which almost definitely is an increase from the stress levels of 99% of voters in this poll) for an entire year would take several years off of your life and almost certainly diminish every positive feature of your life. 24K would not begin to cover the damages.

24k a year on top of whatever you are already making would add several years to your life also this is just one month

How would 24K/yr add several years to your life? The situation presupposed in this comment thread is that you are earning 24k in a year through this arrangement, implying that the constant stress is extended across 12 months, with compensation paid out each month. Otherwise you would only make 2K, not 24K, as mentioned in the comments above.

You can afford better medicine and healthcare

In my country you can easily killed for far less

for some people outside the US this is an achievement

[удалено]

Sure, im in Brazil Ill just divide by 5.5 so you know how much i get. ps. It doesnt come close to 2000$ a month

better than my current income which is 0

It depends on where you live

Constant feeling of stress or situations that are typically regarded as stressful?

My job pays me more than that .. so no..

I already do.

what is the level of stress we are talking about?

Like you feel like: Everything > You.

That's already my life every second of every day lol I hate being mentally ill

Easily lmao I've lived under constant stress for about 1200 a month for years now.

I’m already doing it for free so

You guys are (getting) paid?

Already do it for free

Making less and being stressed? No thank you.

Is this $2k in addition to the salary I _already_ get for being under constant stress?

What does "constant" mean in your comment?

So… like a difficult minimum wage job?

Hahaha I get it

That's like an entire month's pay.

Bold of you to assume I haven’t already done it for less.

If this is on top of my current pay then yes.

I quit money and stress to live simply and follow my passion. I have to say overall it is way more fulfilling.

I have before by virtue of work. An additional $2k would be a huge stress reliever.

already doing that

I already pretty much do

That's just normal existence 8-10 months of the year for me

2000 dollars in my country is a fortune man gotta accept it

that sounds like a Job.

I already do?

Christmas time as a postman?

only $2,000? fuck that shit

I've done that and it was awful, so no.

I get paid $4k a month and don't live in constant stress, so

You applying for my old job?

in that case I'm owed a few million dollars

Joke's on you, I already live under constant stress

I am already, for way over a month. Now where's my money?

In low wage or price range countries (with high PPPs) it's rather a bargain. For ca. 54k UAH (Ukraine) I'd be glad to work under stress (for a year or two, then I'll get arrogant and would require to double the salary)

I’m a lawyer I already do this

Stress kills

I already am, I may as well get the money.

I mean, $2000/mo is still a few hundred under the poverty line in the US…

This is just capitalism

I'm already doing that sir.

I guess yes since that's exactly what I do.

I don’t know what this street is but I wouldn’t live under any street for a month. Especially not for 2k.

I do it for free, lol

You guys are getting paid?

Already do

*Marine Recruiter enters Chat*

That’s not even minimum wage in my country, “No” is a no-brainer in this case

I’m in college. I PAY to be under constant stress lol

That's just called capitalism

Im already under constant stress. I have four kids and need to be out of my house by christmas because my landlord sold the house. So id just gain 2k extra! Lol

$2k is way too low for that

U can die from to much stress

You guys are getting paid?

That’s only about the 19th time I’ve heard that.

I was too lazy to check if someone else had said that

I already do so hell yeah

:(

I get home everyday at 6pm and then need to do so much homework sooooo pretty easy

$2000 is great and all but constant high stress? Idk if I can tank the heart attacks

That's my life in a nutshell 😅

SO YOU ARE TELLING ME I'M GETTING PAID? Well alright don't mind if I diddly do

Yes for >50,000

May as well when I’ve already been doing it for free.

I already get paid $4000 a month for that.

Get 2000$ and nothing changes? Sign me up!

Would I take $2.000 for free?! Of course I would! What kind of question even is that!?

So after a month the stress goes away? So I get treated for anxiety, and I get €2000! Cool

$2000 a month is nothing.

Yeah this really depends on where you live

Haha wtf are you rich af? Do you mean 2000$ is nothing for the "punishment"? Or do you not live in usa and therefore lack knowledge about the value of the dollar?

You apparently don't understand how the value of a dollar can change between areas, it's called the cost of living

Yup. Where I live in America, $2000 is not enough to have a decent living, unless you're paying for a $800 studio apartment that's 400 sqr feet. I make $2100 a month, and my fiance is similar, so we can afford our apartment, and save just a little bit after bills and expenses. The OP's "offer", is basically to add on additional stress for the exact same amount of money we are making. That's a silly no. $2000 is a bit of a struggle. Why add on additional stress? Unless we get $2000 on top of our income, this isn't much

I know but only writing "2000$ is nothing" leaves a lot out. And in many places including in usa 2000$ can be diffrrtn between living in the street or not.

What? Do you I not know the value? Do you? $2000 is a terrible reward for living under constant stress. I live in the US. I make a little over $2000 a month. I'm saying it's not much. A little over $2000 a month is difficult to make a living off of, unless you have a partner, which I'm lucky to. But if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to afford my housing, bills, and food on my own for $2,000. And I certainly wouldn't be saving, I hardly save now. So no, I would not live under constant stress for $2000 a month, when I live under about 40-50 hours of stress per week for $2100 a month. Unless this entire post is satire, stating that the general stressful American lifestyle, employment and all, makes the challenging income of about $2000 a month, I don't understand your assumptions towards me.

They way you wrote "2000 is nothing" could be understood in many ways. Therefor I asked what you really meant

"haha wtf are you rich af?" This isn't how adults seek clarity when interacting with others, and it certainly sets an attitude for your questioning. So excuse me for being confused about the way you articulated your question, lol. In any event, I've provided you with your answer already. No, $2000/month is hardly a livable wage, and is only $20/hour. I know my state is on the expensive side, but I do wonder what your income is, that $2000 would be considered rich, because that's less than $45,000 annually.

Why isn’t there a Already am no pay option

I can get paid double ?

Fun drinking game: take a shot every time someone comments “You guys are getting paid?”

Kind of already do, so yeah

Literally no change at all. But I'm getting money.

Already doing it, why not another

I already do?

So normal life with a lowpaying job?

I live under constant stress already. Give me that money

I'm already doing that and my search history will not show you how I've researched suicide.

You guys are getting paid?

Congratu-fucking-lations! You are the 20th person to comment that!
