Atrocious. I make $275k in nyc and have to live outside of nyc. I also support a family of 7 on one salary but you cannot live in nyc on this. I make an extra $100k a year trading “stocks” too.

Honestly I know this sounds retarded based on XO standards but I actually feel rich. Everyone in my neighborhood makes less than me. I got the mortgage at 6% while they all paid 2% and $100k less than me. Somehow they still bitch and I don’t. Also sold my condo I had for 2% for a huge profit but that’s besides the point. I feel so “rich” compared to them that sometimes I wonder if I’m forgetting something lol. Think me and my wife have been poor so many years that we don’t know what normal is.

My HVAC went and I had to pay $22k for a new one. I shrugged and was going to pay $22k when the guy got there. He looked at me confused and said we have 0% financing just do that. I’m like whatever. And he looked at me like I’m a millionaire that I can write a $22k check and think nothing of it.

I think the goal of you’re working in NYc with a family and poor like me is find an area that’s white, good school district, but everyone makes less than $150k. They exist in the Hudson valley. Just have to look. Your commute will fuckin suck but you’re doing it for your family plus it gives you mistress/unaccounted for time where your wife has no idea where you are. And days off are better.

I’m Italian and have no inlaws or parents I see on a regular basis. My mom died 7 years ago and my dad is older and I visit him with the kids on the off days but had to move further bc my wife had to be a SAHM after my mom died bc she watched the kids during the day.

Her parents moved far away and she has no communication with them.

These days? Making message boards or Instagram you can probably make this much. For many like me it’s the health insurance you need if you have a family.

New York City’s middle class comprises 48 percent of city residents, with median annual incomes between $30,000 and $60,000.

Thirty-one percent make lower incomes

https://nypost.com/2018/12/22/the-exodus-of-new-york-citys-endangered-middle-class/

I.e., 80 percent of NYCmos make less than 60K.

Buddy of mine makes this selling life insurance. He goes into the office 4 days a week. His wife works as a fund raiser for non-profits making about $80-$100K. They live in LI near all 4 grandparents and are in a good public school district.

They do quite fine. Their big trip each year is splitting a few outer banks houses rentals with 7-8 other college friends and their families.

It’s fine if you have a rent stabilized apartment and no one else to support. Otherwise LOL
