don't forget 1/2 these nozzles think that 100k is middle class because they live somewhere like NYC or San Fran where you get paid twice as much as you are actually worth anywhere else.

They also forget that 100k turns into 70k real quick. Then you are paying into your medical, 401k, and state tax. There goes another 10k. So your are sitting at 60k/52 which comes to around 1150 bucks a week. Let assume for fuckerys sake that you live in an apartment in said city. You are pulling down about 4600 bucks a month take home with an apartment if you are lucky that is kicking in right around 2000.00 out in BFE of one of these lovely cities. Now you are down to 2600.00ish before a month after room lets toss in board at a thin ass 150.00 a week. Let forget that 6 drinks with tip any NYC will run that much but I digress. You are down to 2k. Lets assume no car, no car insurance, no renters insurance. Power, water, garbage, electrical...lets round it out at a laughable 300.00 a month. 1700.00 subtotal.

So here we are in the big city. We are covered for everything but food with a massive 1700.00 surplus for the month. Want cable? 150.00 min with internet. Want food, serious here at least 200.00 a week min. We are down to 1k a month left. With food, internet, and cable. So you got 250.00 a week left over if you don't save any money at all.

100k goes fast in the city but you are living large! well living medium! Hell living ok.

Now move to someplace not that big city and make the same amount of money. You can literally cut your overhead by about 50%. That 100k turns into a 30k a year surplus....problem is no one will pay you 100k for the same job. Bummer....you might get say around 60k for that job. You get hosed because global goods like trucks/cars/movies/gas/things of this nature all cost pretty much the same everywhere. I forgot my point. I am going to get a whiskey.
