MORE AMERICANS ARE LIVING PAYCHECK-TO-PAYCHECK, EVEN THOSE EARNING MORE THAN $100,000.

You can't buy a new car for under 20k, a house in a decent city without spending 200k, gas and groceries are high too. No amount of bootstraps isn't fixing the wage gap and the cost of living in American

Well apparently the bootstraps that extend from Manhattan to Rochester can

Waaaaaa six figures not enough

Sorry

 

[Shadow King]

More ignorance

How would they know you had more disposable income?

How did you manage to make it to adulthood?

Where the did anyone say anything about 100k after taxes? The fact that making 100k doesn’t mean you’re taking home 100k needs to be explained to you… breh… do better

Ok let me try to explain this. If you making 100k the logical idea is it has to be AFTER TAXES correct because if your making up to 100k before taxes you damned sure ain't making 100k correct?!? and what is the thread title, what does it fukking say?!?

You’re capping… foh

 

[focusloco]

The people I know that do make over a 100k all live paycheck to paycheck...btw they are all family that's how I know what they make... they all do own their own home and drive a nice vehicle tho

You mean to tell me you never heard of guys with higher salaries, with obvious higher debt, having less disposable income than guys with lower salaries, with hardly any debt . To answer your question, I guess they put two and two together.

99% of salary discussions are about gross salary. There’s so many random things that affect the net take home, its generally accepted that these discussions are about pre-tax deductions. Almost everyone in this thread is talking about gross. Mortgage and rent applications ask for gross. You’re the outlier here.

because maybe you need to get rid of the outdated notion that $100k is a lot of money for every circumstance. a person making $100k could not afford to buy a home out here, a person making $100k with a kid will struggle to pay rent + utilities + buy food and pay the average $1500/month day care costs...a person making $100k with $30-50k in student loans is going to be check to check after bills....$100k is only good money in a med-low cost of living metro and you don't have any debt

Debt is a choice. Sounds like they make good money but make bad decisions

 

[Sad Bunny]

where do you live? most people making $100k are in expensive COL areas, high COL areas are gonna make that 100k check to check

Get a cheap spot and commute to work

 

[King Sun]

Get a cheap spot and commute to work

where you getting a cheap spot anywhere in the US where there a job for you go to and make decent money? Cheap spots are long and gone

If you got a family with kids and even if you make 100k and live really cheaply, you ain’t saving shyt unless you don’t pay housing cost.
