Date: April 6th, 2008 5:14 PM Author: Cream Stage Cuckoldry You just made his argument for him. Over half of his take home pay will go to rent. So you're assuming that utilities, transportation, clothing, etc. will account for half of his take home pay. That's a big assumption, and just not true depending on how he's willing to live. There are people in NY who aren't as well off who get by with $10k/year or less after paying rent. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=794995&forum_id=2#9587028) |

That equals 98K in take home pay a year. He is then blowing 48K on rent alone.
That leaves him 50K to pay all his other expenses. It doesn't even havehis health coverage yet. Think about all his other expenses:

Date: April 6th, 2008 5:22 PM Author: Cracking depressive boltzmann Care to re-calculate for 200k, or are you going to continue pretending 160k is the total.
Even with your 160k #, what is unreasonable about 50k/year afer taxes and rent? I already said famly will pay for all vacations, so whatever # of week I manage to take, those are essentially free. I already have like 12 suits and 80+ dress shirts, I don't imagine i'll be spending that much on clothes. This leaves food/booze and club memberships. I am assuming work will preclude me from having a ton of time for nice dinner and nights out. Not to mention, it's not like my family is going to let me get evicted if I run out of $ |

Date: April 6th, 2008 5:26 PM Author: Cream Stage Cuckoldry No one can argue with you.

Besides, this douche claims to spend 10K a month on partying. |

Date: April 6th, 2008 5:37 PM Author: Cream Stage Cuckoldry I think you have a distorted sense of poor and middle class families. For them 10k is more than enough to get by.
I can't care about this douche. I just think that in general, it is POSSIBLE to live in New York on 50k after rent. Get real. |
|
Date: April 6th, 2008 5:37 PM Author: chest-beating passionate school cafeteria credited
many NYers get by on 50K gross, so why the fuck would $50K after taxes and rent be too little? $4000 a month is more than enough to pay for food, clothes, insurance, and taxis.
Before law school, I took in $4,000 a month after taxes, insurance, and 401K. For $4,000 a month take home I paid for an apt in NYC (with a roommate) and paid for all my incidentals, and even managed to save for some vacations and law school. Trust me, once you are working, you won't know how to spend all your money because you spend all your time either at the office or sleeping. |
