“$175K. Not too shabby. I’ll take that without a bonus any day.”
175 x 3 (fundamental median income multiplier) = $525K apartment (Hello One Brooklyn Bridge Park and Dumbo! Where else would these hotshot lawyers want to live?). Two attorneys, $1.05M brownstone (Hello Park Slope! Where else would such esteemed professionals want to live? Maybe add $0.18M more affordability for rental income).
Not too shabby when peak comps fall in half.

$175K a year and they still expect a bonus????? At least it is not as obscene as the $30 billion dollars that the TARP bank club is handing out this year.
Meanwhile, I am torn between applebees for Christmas eve dinner for the family or a toy for my little girl who is living by herself in a group home in the Bronx. Ughh!!!!
My bonus almost doubled this year. Got a 12% raise too.

I agree, Heather. Why was this news? Ridiculous.
