    Its enough if you live at home, have no bills to pay, no gf/bf, no life to speak of. It covers your most basic needs...but if you want anything more you're going to have to make at least as much as you intend to spend.

    If you work overtime you can earn more.

    Maybe after all the bills are paid, but your account may go into starvation mode.

    I don't know how you could live on $1200/day. You need at least $2100 a day.

    The question is, should you earn back the money you spend?

    It's not enough for me, I like to have as much $$$ as I possibly can so I can do all the things that I want to in life, and still have some savings for those long term goals.

    No matter how hard I try, I can't spend $1200 a day! What should I do?

    if i only want $1100, that's my business. you shouldn't judge me. $1100 is enough for me. i just don't have room in my wallet for more than that.

    Get a bigger wallet! lol!

    stop bullying me!

    Depends on the source of your $1200. $1200 of dirty money won't go nearly as far as $1200 in clean money.
