OP here. Private school tuition and house remodel (old NW home). It goes pretty quickly.


you live in an old dc home that needs remodeling, make 450 a year plus bonus, work in finance and can't manage your money very well.

Let's say you have not been making 450 a year let's say 200 a year for 10 years and you stil have to spend your bonus????

Are you Clarke Griswald?


Can't manage money well? We live on 1 income; mine, save for retirement, save for college, give money to parents, our church and local and international charities etc. Oh and these are all BEFORE tax numbers.


You sound a bit like a self congratulatory asshole.


NP

Be that as it may, guys like this who spend money on remodeling or new cars or clothes or trips are good for a lot of small businesses. Spend away, OP, spend away!

Your bonus is more than my yearly salary.

Are you one of those people who says things like, "Nobody can live on less than six figures."?
