You have no idea how NYC works do you ?


If you want to live around nothing but cacs you’ll pay a bunch of money for some bullshyt

But if you’re not on timing there’s a lot spots that aren’t ridiculously priced in Brooklyn and Queens

This is the answer to 99% of the problems.

The first THREE rules of real estate:

Location, location, location


Most people could save THOUSANDS a month by moving 30 mins away. They don’t want to. They want to live where they want to live, near everything, no commute, all the amenities and have the housing market be affordable too.

It don’t fukking work like that. I watch all my friends paying quadruple my rent, because they want to stay (and complain) next to dc. Meanwhile, a 45 minute drive would have them paying $850 for a 4 bedroom house while they pay $2500 for an apt

been seeing a lot of scott steiner math on the coli lately

$100,000 income tax calculator 2024 - California - salary after tax

If you make $100,000 in California, what will your paycheck after tax be? The Talent.com Online Salary and Tax Calculator can help you understand your net pay.

www.talent.com

itll bring you to 70k, not 75k. Using your math would leave you with $5,800 after taxes per month, which is 1k for a month. In LA. Before the bills you left out below:

I see you leave out gas($5+ a gallon), leisure, dates, emergencies, other common bills (registration on car[registration on a $700 month car in california going to run you about $500 a year], oil changes, pay to park on street in LA or parking garages,toll fees etc). I pay $140 a month in toll fees in the bay area as example.

Well looks like just between gas, parking, oil changes and other bills that $1000 is gone.


also dont know cable/internet at $120. I pay for xfinity and my bill is $200 a month and I dont even have Starz

No netflix, spotify, hulu, gym fees.

You got it man.

shyt that's not even including a 401K, that 70K could be more 60-65 depending on your contribution

Been told y’all 100k not what y’all think it is.
