[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A non-equity partner at my spouse's law firm drives a Tesla X, has his tailor come to the office to measure new bespoke suits twice a year, and whose stay-at-home wife has more than one Berkin bag. Their two kids go to the same independent school as ours.  I would guess they spend more than 3x what our family does at less than 1/3 the income. All that conspicuous consumption is about looking like he's a full partner and being taken seriously at the firm and with clients. I doubt that he feels like he has a choice about it. [/quote]

Is your spouse not in biglaw? Bc at a biglaw firm, a non equity partner (for the firms that have 2 tiers of partner) make 300-400k/yr. Do you honestly think at 400k/yr, he can't drive a Tesla, buy a few $5000 suits per year, and buy the wife a few designer bags? Come on. Not everyone is "struggling" on 400k as DCUM would have you believe.[/quote]
20-50 k for a Birkin bag on a 400k salary? Good recipe for financial disaster.[/quote]
