I be winkin' through the scope
no, theyre living slightly less luxuriously than millionaires.
Your still defending this?
Your basically telling us that when you take out all the benefits Obama has in his salary(presidential salary is 400 K).......he does not have enough money to live on
that is wht your telling us?
NZA
LOL
try affording a good nanny on 450Kwhen i said what i did it was in regards to 200k, i dont know what dude thinkin talkin about 400k
Yeah, but it was 250k for families. So you're initial proposition was still a little off my guy. But even with that, I've lied in NYC and have family out there, 200k for a single person in NYC and 250k for a family person in NYC is enough to live comfortably assuming you're not drowning in loan debt. I've seen people live comfortable in NYC on half that.
You just don't get to live in Midtown.

Word you live in the hood with 88m3
200k/250k eally isn't much I'm happy it was raised, I'm relieved
After you make 100k a year you rise fast if you know what you're doing with your money.
at the end of the day you arent going to get pure socialism where everyone gets what they deserve etc
i think they found a nice medium ground

we can all bemoan the fact that obama capitulated on his 250k deal, but the bigger picture is, the house repugs folded (tax increase + no spending cuts) on a made up fiscal cliff that had no consequences.
It would be foolish to expect them to stand firm when the real debt ceiling cliff takes place, i for one would accept a 2-1 deal, (taking into account, 6 months ago, their base was beating their chests on no 10-1 deals!)
If Obama gets a 1-1 deal on the debt ceiling fiasco, the the repugs may just as well close up shop, Obama will probably give them a bone, because he's such a nice guy

No shyt.
1,000,000 > 400,000.
The point is that they don't worry about money the same way as a family of 4 making under 100k.
Lol at 400k not being much that alone could be the salary of 20 people makin min wage or
4 families making= 100k low end upper middle class
8 families making= 50k a year middle class
13 families making= 32k a year lower middle class working poor
4 families making= 100k low end upper middle class
8 families making= 50k a year middle class
13 families making= 32k a year lower middle class working poor

Well, of course, but a family making 100k doesn't experience the same financial pains as one making 35k a year. In our present economy, 400k is a fair point to define our middle class.
You're entirely too dramatic. All of my friends from undergrad either live in Boston, NYC, Chicago or LA (or St. Paul/Minn but that's not relevant). Chicago's the cheapest of the four so I'll leave it out.
None of then make 6 figures yet. They are single, debt-free and live comfortable in those cities making like 65-90k a year as 23 and 24 year olds. So spare me with that. You don't live in any hood either. People in the hood don't go travel around the world. :obamaword:
I have friends all over NYC. shyt, odds are that I'll be living in NYC when I'm done with law school. So let's say God willing, that I'm living in NYC as a single dude making the market big law first-year salary (160k a year), how in the world would I be struggling?
After taxes, SS, Medicaid, etc., I would have about 82,000 dollars left per year. With the impending 100k in student loans I'd throw a minimum of 20,000 at it per year. That would leave me with around 62,000. Let's say my rent is 2,200 per month (and I've found good places for cheaper). That leaves me with 35,600 dollars to basically do whatever the fukk I want to do with it that year. That is more money than a lot of people make ALL YEAR.
That's obviously not including subway fare and the fact that I can't cook for shyt so I'm probably blowing like 200 dollars a week on breakfast, lunch and dinner (but probably less). But that would still leave me with 25,000 dollars a year to do whatever the fukk I want (and the cell phone bill and cable, etc. won't cost all that much. probably 2k a year combined tops). Healthcare will fit into that equation, but I'm a healthy guy.
So I'm pretty damn sure that someone walking around making 200,000 single in NYC (40,000 more than I would) can manage unless they are sitting in some apartment that costs 4,000 a month.
