“Boy, were you starved for affection as a child!”
Yup, I was actually. Horrible family situation. Thanks for asking. That’s why I’ve worked extra hard to get to the place I’m at now.

“I feel pretty good about it. I’m only 29, you realize.”
Boy, were you starved for affection as a child!
It’s obvious to most non-dellusional people that incomes here in NYC are sky high for many people.
The people on this blog stating that is false, are the 45 year olds make 40K a year.
“Yes, incomes is higher here than other parts of the country, but the cost of living is much higher too, largely because of housing.”
What you don’t seem to realize is that NOT EVERYONE is buying a full on victorian brownstone at the age of 25. Ever heard of a little thing called trading up? Yes, cost of living is high, but with 100K a year you can buy a 500K apartment here, which MANY of my friends (including myself) have done. No one but entitled psychopaths would expect to buy a 2 million dollar brownstone as their first home.
And keep in mind that many people buying property these days are also SELLING property they purchased perhaps 10, 20 or even 30 years ago and buying something else much bigger/better with the proceeds.
They call this trading up. You should learn about it and you might be able to get in the game one of these days.
“I believe the median income for jobs in manhattan is 100 or more than double the national average”
Better do a bit of research before spewing such nonsense.
And learn differences between medians and averages, etc,etc.
2:42 I did not say household income, I said jobs in manhattan. And 2-3MM for an MD at a securities firm is commonplace.
2:44 — I don’t read dupontcircle.com, but I do read SEATTLEBUBBLE.COM It’s an intesting site, and really great to get a non-NYC perspective on housing.
From Wikipedia: “In 2005 the median household income in the wealthiest census tract was $188,697.” This was in the **wealthiest** areas – so people claiming that its routine for kids in their 20s to make 150K in the arts, or traders to make 2-3 million, are off the mark. The median household income, if you look citywide, is well under 100K. But even if it’s 100K, that’s still no way near enough to afford current purchase prices. Yes, incomes is higher here than other parts of the country, but the cost of living is much higher too, largely because of housing.
Actually first year analysts at a securities firm make $230,000 first year out of college
