When I was a young Inhousemo making $250k, I thought I was the shit. Xoxo told me that it was the only CR goal for a lawyer. And I had no kids.

Now I'm nearing 40 and practically live paycheck to paycheck. Exit ops are SLIM.

Turns out I was a retard for going in house.

In house is the exit option. There are no exist options from the exit option. What do you have in mind?

This is like seeing the ship you're on in the middle of the ocean catch fire, getting into a lifeboat and rowing away, and then saying you want an exit option from the lifeboat. You're lucky to be on that lifeboat.

Over $400k if you add wife.

After tax income: ~200k

Housing (vhcol area + 3 kids): ~100k

Child care: ~$50k

Add in some money to retirement and kids college, and not much left for day to day.

I value my wife’s admiration over tax advantages. Therefore, I sold off my winners but held my losers so that our tax bill in April shows bigly long-term capital gains for 2025 when in reality I barely beat the index.

lol @ this flame. Women only care about what you can buy them and the lifestyle you can provide (ideally one where they don't think about money at all). Any woman autistic enough to care about big number on long term gains is going to be autistic enough to care about overall performance, not just a big number on a line. The woman you're describing does not exist.

She sees the tax return but not the brokerage statement. She’ll see the big reported income but not the unrealized paper losses. She is indeed high T and autistic so she does care about the number.

Survivor bias. The people from my class who didn’t survive ITE probably have a very different perspective than I do.

And how many times when your friends kid asks you about going to law school do they sit down and tell you about their 158 LSAT / 3.4 GPA and grand dreams of going to Drexel and getting in at Dechert or Morgan Lewis. Maybe Drinker if they’ve got some sense.

Two other guys have their own law firms but makes like 300k-500kyr

three others are in-house

Office building depreciation/property taxes

Did a lot of work to the office building. New AC/Furniture. I fully renovated it a couple years ago for like 200k. All adds value to property and gets written off.

like 75k in meals and travel

Gas

Health Insurance

Mortgage interest home/office

I prepay whatever expenses I can for the next year -- car insurance, ad spend, web marketing, etc.

~150k in staff salaries. Paralegal always pays for herself by bringing in cases so I don't really count that. I'm sending a demand on a DUI wreck she brought in in January for $1 mil.

it's likely going to be around $580k this year. i started the year as an equity partner where i got a monthly draw, then moved in april to a firm where i'm a nonequity partner. i forget exactly how much my equity payout for 2024 was, but i think it'll come in around 580.

next year, with my origination bonus for 2025, comp should be around 610-650. not sure what this place is doing with my base for next year, but it better go up because i had $1.8m in originations in 9 months.

at the prior firm, i bought in like $20k worth of shares. they returned that to me after i left, but it had increased to like $45k. i figured they were gonna just keep my money. this was all w-2 income with withholdings done. that firm is set up so that everyone is a "shareholder" and employee of the firm it isn't a partnership. when i was in biglaw, when i made partner i got paid on a k-1 basis, which fucking blew.

i'm eligible for equity at this firm at the end of 2026, and i will make it no question. the money i have in the pipeline would be enough originations for 2026 to qualify because the threshold is pretty low here. even if my book implodes in january, i'll have enough.

equity formula, i understand, looks something like: 40% of your "working attorney" number plus 20% of originations, plus something for being a "good firm citizen." i'm filling a need this firm desperately needs - despite having a bunch of labor attorneys, they are entertainment labor lawyers, which means they don't do ANY NLRB litigation or collective bargaining. all they do is interpret 600-page CBAs that were negotiated decades ago and are renegotiated by some employer association. so i guess they will do something for me to reflect that.

if my book in 2027 looks like it does right now, i'd make $1,080,000 or so my first year as an equity partner. this firm is an actual partnership, unfortunately, so i will have to start my own corporation or some kind of bullshit and pay way more in taxes.

we have a dood in my office who sues foreign govts for terrorist acts and brings in like 20 million a year, and that apparently winds up being a windfall to all the equity partners.

all firms should be set up as companies, this partnership stuff sucks ass.

We just work hard all year then deduct costs from fees earned and whatever is left we split between each other based on ownership proportion. So if we had 4 million in profit and if I have a 25 percent interest then I get a million, less whatever I’ve been taking out to live on during the year. Say $200k for that.

It’s complicated by the need to leave some of that money in operations for the following year because we don’t take loans for that.

it's surprising to me bc i used to not give a fuck about the business side of law. i've always been regarded as really good at what i do, but kind of an oddball and oblivious to biz dev, etc.

when i was in biglaw, an of counsel i hung around with always told me that if i sobered up and quit doing drugs/drinking 24/7, i could have a big book. turns out he was right ($2m is big for me, anyway, and i never thought i'd have anything like this.)

you're doing great brother, anything over 300k is really good.

if i could, i would man. are you open to learning traditional labor law?

i'll be saltthreading again soon. we moved out of our house in august to do a renovation. i have to run over there every few days to feed the fish and maintain the tank. it's 120.

we should be moving back in within a couple weeks and i will resume tank threading and maybe throw in some home renovation threading.

About 1.3 mil. Shitlaw boss, real estate investing and other entrepreneurial activities.

It's a great blessing, and things have blown up fast over the last few years after years of toil. Last year was about 500k, 300k before that, lower for many years before that. This is a result of sustained business building, not one big settlement that won't be replicated.

However, this is a very risky seat to be sitting in. I'm a target in a wide variety of ways that I didn't anticipate, and everything could vanish at any moment. I am trying to take chips off the table and put them into safer assets where I can. But that's not easy to do.

Also, there is a hard, fairly low ceiling on my happiness because of my marriage to an angry, bitter woman who gets mad if she sees me enjoying myself. I don't want to divorce her for family reasons, but matters may come to a head in 2026.

that is 180, very impressive.

very unlikely everything will implode immediately. just plow like $2m into index funds over time and max out retirement accounts. that's what i'm doing. wife and i currently have close to $3m in retirement accounts and if i get to $2m in taxable, i won't worry at all about my book blowing to pieces.

but honestly, you will probably continue doing well so don't worry.

on the marriage, you should try to save it if you think it's salvageable, but if it really is far gone then you should split up. don't stay together for money. but don't be so fast to peace out. maybe if she knows you are putting your foot down, she will knock off her bullshit. maybe not, but you should give it a shot.

i can't advocate for doing that, but that's just me. nobody should ever do what i did and blow up a good marriage just because they're doing mounds of cocaine and strange pussy, but i also don't believe that you should stay if your relationship is in the shitty and not recoverable.

I just started new job. Finished last shift of nights at 5am and today at 9am started new job. Tomorrow will go for a swim before work.. but so far it doesn't seem like it's that easy. But as long as I get to take a 30minute run for lunch plus actually eat another 30 mins it might be a step up from working nights. Bit hourly rate is also lower.

About $310k in W2/1099, $50k in rental profit, and I think $470k or so in gains (mostly unrealized) and dividends.

Haven’t done the taxes yet though, will report back later.
