I literally factored in the taxes though... at the HIGHEST rate without accountants saving you serious cash...
In my primative calculations, I didn't even calculate how much people really save on their taxes and I factored in someone living in a lavish 4 bedroom townhouse or loft with 2 kids, leasing a 2-3k a month car (Bentley?)
1500 a month on groceries (what are they eating?)
So this calculation, with the highest possible tax rate, 2012 Bentley, and apparently caviar and silk dreams for Dinner, leaves 7.5k disposable income on 20k a month.
In a more reasonable calculation, the frugal spenders would actually have closer to 11-12 thousand dollars every month in totally disposable income.
Yeah
It's a lot of money by any standard anyone who's saying it's not is crazy
Especially if its your salary and guaranteed every year
I'd be fukking Brazilian models in threes on my balcony.
Not overlooking Central Park have you but at least one of the rivers.
I don't make nearly that much and I'm comfortable. I might spend 25k in rent a year all said and done right now.
If I had another 225k laying around.
On a side not there is no defending Mitt for being out of touch he's the running for President.
I'm horrified at this statement but at the same time not surprised at all.
This guy is a fukkin idiot.

200k in Manhattan is middle income.
a family making 200k would get denied off income for an apt renting for $5,001 a month.
To put it into perspective, the average 2 bed / 2 bath in a respectable neighborhood in a respectable building (in Manhattan, and some parts of Brooklyn) is around $4,000. 3 bedroom is (at least) $4500+.
Even in the ratty roach walkups in the east village you are forking over about $4100 for a 3bedroom that you can barely fit a queen size bed in...
and these apts move like iphones on release day.

I don't see why anybody would even want to live in someplace as retardedly expensive as New York.
Why be middle class there when you could have a mansion somewhere else?

It doesn't work that way
If you can get a job paying anywhere near 200k, you'll be very well-off in most places in the country outside of NY and LA. Even if you had to take somewhat of a paycut to move, you'd still be better off than you would be paying NY's ridiculous housing prices.

You're not going to get a job making over 200k a year in flyoverlandia
You can buy an apartment or co-op here for a decent price if you plan on living here longterm. That's my goal.

Your girl loves em....
you could live pretty good out in los angeles making 200k annually as long as you're not trying to live in beverly hills or some bomb ass beach house. 
It's four times the national average... Let's say the family in question lives in a mansion, ok? Let's say they live in a house that costs 5k a month total with bills and the mortgage?
That would mean that they would have around 13k a month left... lets be GENEROUS to your argument and send off 3k for a car lease and groceries...
lets SAY that they even paid the Clinton Rates... with the family deductions that leaves about 7.5k a month of disposable income...
Nearly 2k a week.
(How generous am I being right now that a family would really live this lavishly, but for Trip's sake, lets do it)

Bro, I don't want to get into the specifics. But a lot of people are careless with their money. No matter educated they are or the amount that they make......
Let's just say some idiot, I know said it cost "13k a month" to run their household, and this said idiot has never worked a day in their life.
