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.
:childplease:

Compared to other big cities, 150K in ATL gets you a hell of a lot more. Just look at the housing market out there compared to LA, SF, NYC, Chi etc.

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.


You own personal Island sounds Godly:ahh: You looking at around $5,000,000 though. Buy an Island for $2,000,000 and spend the rest developing it. I'd be paranoid about somebody trying to sneak their way on, but there's plenty of islands in U.S. territory

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.

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

Yea 150k can get a nice crib in a lot of places in Chicago outside the most $$$ areas. My homie is a CPS teacher and he bought a nice pad in Jefferson Park couple tears ago

Now the property taxes tho...:francis:

$150k in the hands of certain brehs could be dangerous in Atlanta man
It’s a real keep up with the Jones mentality out there that could fukk you up if you let it
I was in line at Rose Bar and dude in front of me hopped out of a blacked out R8 and had to borrow money to get in
Maybe dude really don’t believe in cash or something but it ain’t look right

We'd be looking at something small and already developed, and you can get one for under 5 mil, depending on location (we wouldn't just be looking at the U.S.)

I peruse this site every so often just to get an idea of what I want: Private Islands Inc - Islands for Sale and Rent

150k is my goal for next year, putting in work to get there , hope I dont fail.

Every raise I have gotten since my out of college salary is going towards 401k and savings account and will do the same.

I would live of 30k, max out my 401k, savings and learn ways to invest. I am learning about investments now.

I'd put a down payment on a home in Alpharetta

Buy more inventory to supply bulk orders for my current business

Lease space in a bonding warehouse for storage..because I don't wanna keep in inventory at my garage anymore

Purchase season tickets to the Hawks games

Put a down payment on BMW Z4 convertible

280px-BMW_Z4%2C_Paris_Motor_Show_2018%2C_Paris_%281Y7A1387%29.jpg



Rent a Air BNB condo overlooking midtown for the weekend of Birthday bash to invite various thots and strippers to hang out with for obscene activities
:takedat:

Pay off any revolving credit at the end of the year

Put 10k away every year for my son's college fund

Create a 5,000 a year recyclable goods slush fund to finance any thot as well as provide abortion clinic capital in case of an emergency

Find a few investors to partner up and purchase an American Deli

Place a Billboard on I 75 stating...

THE WORLD IS KENNY DA COOKER'S!!
