How would you handle 150k a year in Atlanta?

What you mean? This depends on so many factors including how many dependencies you have, where you work, your likes and dislikes.

150k really ain’t all that much in Atlanta. You won’t be rolling around in a ferrari with 2 girls blowing you because of it.

Alright I'm logging off for the day:hubie:

I don't live in Atlanta, but one of the reasons I like the south despite racists and one horse redneck towns is the fact that the standard of living is relatively cheap.

150K will get you a nice 3-4 bedroom 2-3 bath home with a garage in a decent community, a nice vehicle, some money for savings, and some money to put in your pocket to spare if you play your cards right.

That's why I prefer the South to places in other regions like Cali, NYC, or Chitown were 150K will basically have you living check to check dang near in poverty.

You can pay this off in 3 years:wow:

My cousin just had a house built from scratch in Atlanta with 150k she got from her mom's life insurance policy. I'd probably save my money until I'm able to do something like that.

Myself. fukk 12(1)!
The same as I do now, probably with more flexibility as the cost of living is cheaper there than our current place of residence.

Primary and secondary residences are paid off, along with 2 rental properties, so most of our discretionary income goes to savings/investments and purchasing additional rental properties.

One of our super long-term goals (which may sound crazy LOL) is to save up enough to buy a small island somewhere for retirement; you can find some for very reasonable prices.

Places like Chi town where 150K will have you living check to check in dang near poverty
Chicago isn’t nearly expensive as Cali,DC, NYC:what:

150k in Chi you living like a king. You taking home 8k a month after taxes, you could get a condo with a lake view or a fat ass crib in a nice neighborhood and still have plenty to blow/invest/ save
