[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s a joke post. In NYC, even high-earning families can feel real financial pressure once you factor in taxes, housing, lifestyle, children, and long-term planning. Money helps, but it doesn’t automatically remove stress.[/quote] Yes. But not with $2MM a year plus $20MM in the bank. Worst case the job goes away tomorrow they will be fine unless they have 10 kids and insist on them all going to private and a lot of other debt. I'm at about a third of that in terms of income and savings and occasionally get stressed because we have a fairly big mortgage (worst case we could move), one in private and another in public who would likely be best served switching to private soon. But then I remember that there are modifications we could make and still be living better than most of the rest of the world. I want the best for my kids so would like to be higher than we are but assuming the jobs stay OK I know we will achieve that. But every year when the bonuses come in I do breathe a little bit easier.[/quote]
