150,000 is a laughable salary in new york city, even for the arts. At 29 it’s embarrasing.
sdrubbins:
you are forgetting some important details.
you’ve got 2500 left a month for food, drinks, clothing, heat, hot water, electricity…oh and ALL THE EXPENSES THAT GO ALONG WITH BEING A LANDLORD TO THOSE TWO APARTMENTS PLUS THE UPKEEP UP A 100 YEAR OLD HOUSE!!!!
people like you are why this country is in such a state of credit crisis. if you really think it’s almost doable on 150k, you should feel very lucky you make 65k on that IQ.
Yeah, this thread is truly really refreshing – a crop of realistic and (mostly)laid back posters who almost unanimously see this blog for what it is and don’t take it seriously. Like 5:25#1 – I love that attitude!
You want to put down $250K and pay $3500 a month to live in a garden apartment in a crappy building, and be responsible for being a landlord? What a nightmare.
For that same $3500, you can rent a gorgeous apartment in Clinton Hill or a very nice one in Cobble Hill, put the $250K in the market, and save up until you can actually afford to buy and live in a nice place. There’s no hurry — these houses are going to cost the same, or less, three years from now.
There is no braggable amount below what Gates, Buffett and a few others make.
if you are making 150K in new york city, do you have any idea how long it’s going to take you to save that 250K downpayment?
the way i see my friends spend money, i’d say around the year 2090.
I guess the diff is I didn’t start out at 22. I’d been working full-time starting my junior year in college.
Just saying, is 150k a lot of money for a 29yo person in 2008? I mean, is it a brag-able amount? Doesn’t seem like it to me.
Yes, these people on this thread seem to be a lot more fun…even the gullible ones. Unfortunately I may be away for a good while…got to attend a conference Mon & Tues and then leaving for 6 day long weekend. I do hope you can hold things up here while I’m gone…get thm all riled up and show them all the error of their ways,,,and a lot of their logic
Gotcha 5:32, I see your point.
