|
Date: October 25th, 2017 10:13 AM Author: Flickering disrespectful senate As far as your immediate future is concerned it doesn't count. This is what ARE generation does instead of looking forward to their pensions.
Most people are going to be totally fucked when they retire (or get forced into it - you're kidding yourself if you think employers are really going to let people keep working in their 70s when they can hire 20-somethings for way cheaper and work them 60+ hours a week). |

$41,000 x .60 (40% taken out for FICA, taxes etc.)= $24,600
$1800 off a month for maxing out 2 401ks (that's after tax cost from $3000 a month)
$1000 a month AT MOST for health insurance.

Date: October 25th, 2017 10:21 AM Author: Carmine police squad TBF, 529 and 401ks still count as savings.
Nanny is $4k/month.
Spending $2k/month on tech and $1k/mo on clothes and misc insurance is way too high. The only insurance you pay for are cars and homeowners.
There’s no reason you can’t easily save at least $150k/year (not counting maxed out 401ks) at $500k and if you can’t, you’re likely being too extravagant. |

Lol at paying for life and disability insurance. Most companies have free basic life and disability insurance (like $50k policy) and lol at scam of paying for more than that.
Basically you live the lifestyle of making $300-350k at $500k, $600k, and even $700k and you end up saving all your money. Keep your ikea furniture and 5 year old phones/laptops.

$25k net would be after 401k withholding. Your fed effective tax rate at $500k with mortgage interest deduction and state tax deduction ends up at only around 25%.
Nanny costs go up but I’d adjust down at least 4-5 categories you have that shaves off a lot more than $2k/mo.
And yes, we still have ikea furniture and old tech and we spend $1000/year on clothes. |

Look at all the lawyers on here who used to be pulling 300-400 getting pushed out and going in-house for 150. Were they rich? No. They could rent a nice life for a few years if they spent all their money with no savings.

Date: October 25th, 2017 11:54 AM Author: Silver Haunting Pistol Lay This thread is dumb, but $500k HHI is probably the minimum you need to have a remotely UMC life in MFH.
Assuming you max out your 401ks, that is roughly $19k per month in take home. I know because I have made this amount living in MFH.
$6k for a nice 2br with doorman a reasonable distance from work. (Average 2BR on UWS is $5,800 these days. https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ny/manhattan/. Realistically, the best you can do on this is probably 4.5k if you are willing to live in a walkup, which is a pain with a baby.
$2k for food, utilities, house cleaning, cell phone bills, dry cleaning, etc. for family of 3.
$4k for daycare, after care, baby sitter, and "classes" for kid/going to other kids birthday parties.
$1k per month (annualized) for travel and vacation expenses (grandparents need to see kid, etc.)
$1.5k per month (annualized) everything else - birthday/wedding gifts, clothes, haircuts, gym membership/hobby, etc.
So you are basically saving $4.5k per month/$54k per year. An apartment that could comfortably accommodate a family of 4 (don't you want to have another?!) below 110th street is $1.75-$2M, requiring a $350,000-400,000 cash downpayment, with 2 years' mortgage and maintenance in liquid assets remaining. (So, another $150-200k liquid.) Assuming you are starting from scratch, it would take you like 8 years to get there.
Private school - a defining characteristic of the UMC in other areas - is a definite no at $50k per year. http://www.trinityschoolnyc.org/page/admissions/tuition--financial-aid. You can barely afford to have the two kids and a nanny on $500k while building some cash savings. |

You don't just get a 2 BR condo for $6k but you are getting a 2 BR in MFH. You can't whine about what little you get for that $6k compared to other places and then leave out that you are also purchasing a status symbol and the actual utility of living in the city.
That utility needs to be included in what you are buying with your mortgage etc. You can't leave it out when defining UMC and comparing yourself to flyover. |

Date: October 25th, 2017 5:13 PM Author: costumed razzle-dazzle library scourge upon the earth The Meanest Fish is counting his fucking corporate benefits and probably some retard 'junior options' plan when he computes his income, LOL. Nobody at his company doing what he does is making more than $175K cash comp and that's all in with bonus, high-end. Base salaries for in-house top out mid 150s and the structure there is notoriously flat because of the extremely high turnover.

that's peer company that is known to have better compensation and there's no way TMF has a higher level position than "senior attorney." |

Date: October 25th, 2017 7:57 PM Author: Silver Haunting Pistol Lay The arm flapping autists in this thread complaining about strivers and shit don't understand what it used to mean to be UMC. It meant working a respected professional job, putting 2-3 kids through private schooling without them incurring debt, maybe owning a modest vacation home, retiring in your mid 60s, and never really worrying about money (though never flying first class, owning a Bentley, or being a member at Winged Foot). You are not living this lifestyle in MFH on $500k of HHI working biglaw hours (i.e., where you have to pay for childcare and other conveniences).
If you don't believe me look at the of counsel at your MFH biglaw firms. How many of them are raising kids in MFH? Zero. You'd be lucky if you could find one that even lives in the 5 boroughs. |
