This is an important question. Also how much is going to taxes?? Are you listed as 1 deduction or 0 or 4 this all matters as well.

I don't work for AE but you guys are claiming that you are bringing home close to what I do at $61 an hour??

Difference is I am putting in 10% to 401K w/ family health, uniform allowance, extra life ins. on me and my wife, and last but not least I have my taxes set for claiming 0. I know this isnt the best investment idea but it gives me a very large return at the end of the year that I would other wise probably never be able to save.

After all that making 61 an hour = about 3200 - 3400 bring home with about an 80 - 85 hour line.
