[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP the fact that this is your budget is why you [b]only earn $150K[/b]. You’re stupid. Take that $12K a year in gambling and vacation + cancel all but one streaming service = $2000 + stop ordering and eating out (you are eating dinner out or ordering essentially every night!) = $3600 + $2400 and only buy occasional clothes = $600 total = &gt;$20K a year you could invest. Every year. After 5 years that’s a downpayment.

Or you could keep spending everything you earn and be on here in ten years still complaining about how life is so unfair and you can’t afford DC anymore.[/quote]

STFU with this bullshit.  For one person, $150K is something like top 5% of all full-time workers.[/quote]

No, not anymore.[/quote]

+1 it’s not even top 10% in 2022.[/quote]

OK, my numbers were a little bit off - according to this site, $150K is in the 91st percentile for all workers and the 89th percentile for all full-time workers.

Still, it's absurd for PP to demean the OP by saying they "only earn $150K" because they're "stupid."  For reference, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median income for an attorney (I know this board loves its attorneys) is $135K.  For software engineers, it's $121K.  For veterinarians, it's $100K.  You get the point.  So saying that someone who makes more than probably 60% of all lawyers is failing, is both condescending and factually inaccurate.
