I make 200k in manfuckinghattan and i'm poor as fuck
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 31st, 2012 1:37 PM Author: big private investor i only have like 50k of debt left but I still feel poor as shit.
i obviously go out every weekend but even if i dont try to blow too much, i'm still spending 500 or so on alcohol and stuff. cabs alone are going to be 30 each way or 60 roundtrip. For 2 days thats 120. There's also my expensive ass rent which combined with fine dining takes out one paycheck.
anyone else feel me brothers? |

Date: May 31st, 2012 1:38 PM Author: big private investor oh and don't give me advice like stop eating at nice places.
no biglaw associate is going to change his lifestyle to save money and if u worked u'd know that. i'm not gonna be caught dead buying mcdonalds or some faggot prole shit. |

If you are traveling normal distances, cabs should never be more than $12. |

Date: May 31st, 2012 2:02 PM Author: big private investor not in manfuckinghattan. maybe i can't stand the 9's. but i know they are dating other guys so maybe i'm not trying for a relationship either. i just call 'em and we go out and its assumed i buy 'em shit like alcohol and maybe food and 500 is an average. if we get bottles its like 2k a night (but thats rare). |

ur talking as if i'm at the top of the totem pole when i'm anything but. i would say there are literally a hundred thousand guys who are way better than me in looks AND pay. bankers, traders, hedge fund guys, private equity ballers, etc. |

or even going on a yacht or vacation or week in hamptons cost me alot. Like one weekend vacation in vegas I once blew 500/night in hotels and 2k a day in gambling+shows+alcohol+clubs/bottles. |

Sure, you won't get promoted to partner if you don't do the schmoozing, but if you're good at your job, I can't imagine you getting fired until ~year 8-9 where not being partner means you have to leave... and that's tomorrow's problem.

imagine if doctors had to pay 3000 in supplies or some shit every month, and its mandatory. thats how i'm feeling here in this expensive ass ccity.
did i mention my rent is expensive as fuck too? these are things i can't change without drastic life changes like quitting my job and going to the midwest or something. |

Date: May 31st, 2012 2:09 PM Author: glittery temple NYC rent is legitimately shitty, and it's hard to find a place that's affordable and within a reasonable commuting distance. And unfortunately, most firms like yours actually pay attention to who lives where and a lot of people end up having to live in shitty apartments in expensive neighborhoods to have the "hungry" image.
Rent is a legitimate gripe for most people. $500/night on alcohol is being a fucking idiot.
By the way, the Mad Men era is over. People at the top may network over booze, but when you're a subordinate, going out drinking all the time just gets you the reputation of an alcoholic. Don't drink except with a potential mentor, and limit it to 1. |
|
Date: May 31st, 2012 2:12 PM Author: big private investor oh i know, but with the mentor/partner i'm blowing money on different things, but its much less frequent.
i do have a bunch of biglaw associates and "wannabe" models who i want to either hang out with or fuck so i blow a lot. even if i cut that down to 300 avg, i'm still not saving much. and 300 bucks in alcohol gets u like 10 drinks in NYC which is def not enough for the entire WEEKEND when ur buying at least a few drinks for friends/girls. |

You're not spending enough time in the gym and have no sense of style. Srsly work on those. I love going out too but if you are fit and dressed well you do NOT need to spend 500 on females in NYC. I'm rooting for you mang and hoap to ball like that too. Only a 2L at ccn but before ls I made 65k in NYC and still had fun and did well socially. GL man |

I find it very hard to successfully hit on chicks in bars.
Been told all my life that I have the "gift of gab," but that doesn't seem to work with the NYC professional woman. How credited is working out and looking good? I mean can being in relatively good shape really make that much of a difference?
Surely, I don't have to look Michael Phelps good but maybe someone like John Edwards(that's the only example I could come up with)
