Remember when you thought making $100k per year would be amazing?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 25th, 2020 10:18 AM Author: racy temple In college I thought making $100k per year would provide me with an amazing lifestyle.
Then I decided to go to law school and thought $160k per year was a ton of money.
Now I'm making around $350k and think it's not enough.
Stupid fucking hamster wheel. It's never enough. Should have rejected materialism and embraced an austere life based on some kind of passion when I was still young enough to do so. |

I spend a lot of time thinking about how to go about finding a less stressful way to make $60-80k. Our combined incomes would allow us to stay where we are while being more present and involved with the kids.
As it is right now, i'm a ball of anxiety all the time and barely see my kids M-F. |

Not needing to save to buy a TV or PS2 games. Eating out whenever I wanted. Getting multiple rounds at a bar, then taking a cab home instead of walking. Nevermind that I didn't have time to do all that, much less enjoy it, once I started biglaw.
Now, twice that amount is enough to live comfortably. Not enough to really get ahead. Still not enough to really enjoy it. |

I'm a high earner that lives where I live in part because it is the most advantageous option from a tax perspective. If that changed then I would act accordingly.
Boomers are mostly retired and those in higher tax areas leave as soon as they retire, taking all that money to places like FL and TX. |

One of my neighbors saw others putting out political signs so they put a Biden/Harris sign in their yard. |

Date: September 25th, 2020 11:19 AM Author: Lime toaster casino I live in a wealthy area that only has BLM and Biden signs despite being politically moderate because people are scared they will be attacked if they do anything else. People who put out Trump signs had signs stolen, windows broken, etc. So wealthier neighborhood doesn't necessarily mean less bullshit from blm/libs.
Not having enough money to maintain/upgrade your current house is a real problem. And a more expensive house would have more expensive repairs/upgrades. That's just how it works. The other thing I'll tell you is that being house poor is absolute shit. |

Date: September 26th, 2020 3:22 AM Author: ruby charismatic deer antler weed whacker I noticed something about people when I practiced family law. $100k was the dividing line between people that were still human and those who prioritized money.
Anyone who made over $100k would obsess over spousal and child support and the legal bill in an unhealthy way. They mainly cared about child visitation as it related to their support payments.
I remember this crane operator who lived in a low COL area and made $125k. He literally shrieked and was on the verge of tears when I estimated his child and spousal support payments.
The interesting thing about these support payments is that they are formulas that roughly take the same percentage out of everyone’s paycheck. So it is a huge lifestyle adjustment regardless of how much you make.
Most people stretch their finances thin so when you get divorced and you are the main bread winner you can’t continue to afford the things you do when you are married. Instead of supporting one household, now you are supporting two, but the difference in reactions from the reality hitting people making more than $100k and those making less was distinct and alarming. I swore to never let money be a priority in my life even if I make more than $100k and it hasn’t.
