[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d love to know the monthly budget in this income range. [/quote] We are at 750k HHI and don't budget..we just come to a number to save, let's say it's 200k. We pay ourselves first and save the 200k. After that we live however we want and if the checking account stays above a certain #, then we will either save the rest, do a home project or go on a vacation. My only target is the savings number. If I can save 200k, and that meets my long term goals, i don't care where the rest of the money goes. [/quote] Wow, this is kind of crazy. I make $180K per year and technically I save more money than you guys. (I say “technically” because I only ascribe a 50% ownership stake of all assets within a marriage to each partner. In other words, I look at it as if you each saved $100K.) I’m single and live with my parents. I make $180K, pay $40K in taxes, spend $10K and save $130K per year. Obviously, I live a rather unglamorous life based on the above, but I am still obsessed with getting rich quickly even though I don’t have the skills to make those super-high incomes. Still, it’s a testament to the “brute force” method of getting rich by saving >90% of your after-tax income.[/quote] How old are you? This is an insane way to lead your life. Sacrificing all consumption now so that you can be rich when you’re old is not wise.[/quote]
