Would you struggle on $350,000 a year?

[8pm at msg]

I'd be happy with 90K-100K in my career of choice later down the line...350K would be great.

man, how is that possible...live down the money you make, don't live up to it.

 

[jackieboy]

Would live with that EASY.

Nice appartment +loads of food, drinks and women!

$350K annual income in New York would be easy.

there you go...

Thats not true....it all depends where you live, 6 figures in Arizona would have you living lavish, 6 figures in NY can have you living in a box.

lol @ people bitter towards ksteezy for mentioning his income.

This guy is ridiculous but I would feel bad if I had to make certain nonessential changes to my lifestyle too. Like if I lost cable and had to take public transportation instead of driving, I would be freaking miserable. Some people who don't have those things would probably ridicule me for being spoiled but I'm too comfortable with those things in my life now to have it gone without complaining about it. It says he brings in less than 200k after taxes. It also says he's donated over 100k to charity, much more than I've ever done. I can't get on the guy too much even though it sounds like he's trolling with some of the things he says. Turning down a "wet t-shirt contest", why would he even mention that?

 

[finnns2003]

Didn't get the wet t-shirt crap either.

It'd be tougher in New York City than a smaller city because there is so much added cost... But at 350K you can still live EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE in an expensive city like NYC

Absolutely true. You can live comfortably in NY for under 100k. You just can't live the high life.

People like this make me sick.

It's all relative.  Providing for an entire family & living in Manhattan (south of Harlem)  - 100k wouldn't be a comfortable lifestyle for a good percent of people.
