I meant month. Who fucking cares, you were wrong. I pointed it out. Be an adult. Accept it and move on.
No I really wasnt. You dont understand how taxes work and are apparently under the impression that a youtuber that makes 2k before taxes is making more after taxes than a mcdonalds worker making 2k before taxes. Which isnt correct. And I have explained why that isn't correct.
And as for the month/week thing, you made it an issue. You dont get to just go "who cares" when youve been shown to be wrong trying to correct me. You were wrong about who you responded to and you were wrong about how much the youtuber actually takes home compared to the mcdonalds worker. Did you let it go or admit you made mistakes? Fuck no! You decided I was the one that made mistakes and got mad. Thats a very childish thing to do and if you are ever going to grow as a person, you need to at least learn when to stop digging. I dont expect you to say "oops I was wrong" I just expect that you learn from what you did and not double down.
PLEASE go back to the original comment I made and which comment I replied to. It said "what McDonald's worker is making $25/hr" which the commentor corrected after someone told them that someone making $12.50 is taking home $2k/month. All they did was 12.5 x 40 x 4.
And alll I said was, no, someone making 12.50 an hour isn't taking home anything close to $2k a month. That's it. No bigger commentary, just pointing out the math was wrong.
No comments about what a YouTuber makes.
People seem to be putting all sorts of shit in my mouth.
Also while I didn't even venture into this part of this discussion... pretending that the way taxes work for a YouTuber is anything like someone working a minimum wage job, then you're the one who needs to learn about taxes.
Or are McDonald's workers out there giving up the standard deduction so they can write off all their "equipment"?
He is the person you replied to. Lmao
No one cares about taxes when making simple examples. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?
Dude, what in the world are you talking about? Lol
