I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

    I’m a waitress, I make about 60K USD give or take 5K. It varies significantly throughout the year, though. In Chicago, that’s enough to support a family of five.

      I am amazed that you can support a family of 5 with 60k!

      That said, i am also amazed that you can make 60k being a waitress! Is that after paying taxes?

        before taxes

        the secret is simple: no car. It’s a huge expense and in a city like Chicago, completely unnecessary. I never would’ve been able to buy a home with that millstone around my financial neck
