OK even taking it at face value, 18k a month for mortgage is only like 1/3 of their income, maybe more like 1/2 after tax, and the rest of their living expenses are a rounding error at that point. Stop spending so much on candles!
Putting the knives away and just being Math Guy about this, if she's taking 21 and paying 6 in rent... Save for a few years til you've got more downpayment on that 2.4 mil house. I'm poking at a mortgage calculator here and you only get 18 a month if you're putting very little down
"oh no I don't feel rich my second year at partner" give it a couple more years without doing anything stupid and I promise your spouse's gambling debts will be a MUCH more real reason to feel poor
That 21k take home is just for months where she doesn’t get her bonus. Her actual take home is probably closer to 40k per month when the bonus is amortized over the year.
850,000 would sustain me for ten years (maybe 5 after taxes). I have two kids. Next paycheck maybe I’ll be able to buy one of them a new pair of glasses. If the heat bill doesn’t come out on the wrong day and cost me $70 in overdrafts again.
no way, it's the undercounting. 21k monthly is like half her income, she's just refusing to calculate and parcel on an annual basis, which would include the rest
just like.. how do you go about your day seeing thousands of people making less than 1/10th you do, living and struggling in your city... and post this
Wtf is she even talking about lol I make nowhere near that much and bought a house with a 1hr commute straight into Midtown for significantly less than one million dollars
i said in another post, but she's whining about monthly draw against the mortgage payment when the monthly isn't her annual! just save the EOY bonus stuff and draw as needed!
Even then the math doesn't make sense lmao the taxes are definitely around $18-20k but they're annual. Like I guess maybe it's plausible if she wants to not make a down payment on the $2M house but that's not really a thing up here because the competition is cash buyers vs mortgage
I think this person just hasn't looked because there's tons of stuff for sale rn in Westchester in the $850-1.4MM mark and that's not CHEAP but it's well below the number that exists in her head
“My monthly draw is around $21k” on a salary of $850k it should be closer to $40k, meaning that, like they always do in posts like this, they’re already maxing out 401k/IRA/other savings before they cry poor
Partners used to be able to live in NYC earlier and like, half of my income doesn't come until later in the year. what am i supposed to do, just hold onto it and draw from it as needed?
