I made $102,500 last year.
Take home is about 4500/month.
Uncle Sam is a mfer.
Then there's union dues, disability benefits, life insurance, MCU account that I ignore and 401k/deferred compensation account that I also try to ignore.
I can scale all of that back and act hoodrich but im so serious when I say I'm never going to work after my 50th birthday. The planning/sacrifices start now tho.
yeah the **** is stupid, tbh I had no idea how much money I was actually making until this thread. I only work on the books in the summer so I know what I make there plus my unemployment.
I don’t make 100k but make the equivalent if all my income was on the books, I gotta say I don’t feel like I’m doing it, I’m comfortable but I can’t afford da m3.
I feel you on saving though, I can’t be out here working in my 60s. F all that.
