Is My Salary OK?

It's about average but you probably lead a pretty pathetic existence with a salary like that. You definitely won't be financially independent anytime soon.
I don't know how old you are now but you must have some sort of financial goals. What are they? Do you have a net worth target that you're aiming to achieve by a particular age? If you do, what is it and what are your plans to get there within the target time frame?
All financial plans should be based on net worth because a salary figure is irrelevent. You could be earning $20,000 per month but if you're spending it all on conspicuous consumption, you're still stuck at square one.

"Living within your means" isn't sufficient. How is he going to fund his retirement if that's all he aims for?
Ok if single. If married with 2 kids, abit tough.

Do you have any savings and if the savings are invested? Are you in any debts?
Even if you earn 14K/mth but spend 14K/mth, you still be in trouble. Even more if you are in credit card debts.
However, if you earn 4K/mth with constant savings, that's a different story. In short, you have the flexibility to invest, change job or even runroad.

Know of many high income earners who 'rotate' their credit cards if you know what i mean. Those people are worse off than the average man earning $2.5k per mth when shit hits the ceiling.

Doesn't anyone else think of early retirement rather than merely "surviving"???
In life, you get what you aim for and if you concentrate merely on survival, that's exactly what's going to happen. You'll live your life with your head just above water.
If you want to succeed in life, you have to aim much higher.
