Economy 12 Months of a New York Banker's Income & Spending

This OP reminds me of JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon's recent Congressional testimony. He was willing to personally help an entry-level JP Morgan employee cinch that belt up tighter to budget her money more wisely.

The D Man also suggested that regardless of her current financial straights, the result of a ridiculously insufficient salary, with the right amount of bootstrap pulling she just might have HIS job one day.


Well, we all know the real problem for the working class: budgeting.

Someone needs to hurry up and tell this lady about the one, single trick to financial success!
 
I live in soho in nyc. Yeah rents are typically 2.5-3k/month. Pay for play.
 
New York Banker?

You guys sound like you're in the 1930's or something.

Exactly. If public high schools would just bring back Home Ec we could quickly solve this inequality problem. But, of course, the radical leftist teachers' unions don't want that because then they wouldn't be able to keep fomenting division and class war. :mad: :mad: :mad:

At least in the 30's some New York Bankers were making an actual contribution to society.

By leaping out of 40th floor windows.
 
These threads are always trash. The median income in the US in 2016 was $31k. Yet here we have folk scoff at a years salary for a common man in savings. Then of course we get the dumb assholes going on about how you have to be a idiot or lazy to be poor in America. What a bunch of fake entitled cunts. The average person in america is far from rich barely even middle class.

Lol, for real. This guy is saving more than the median income in a lot of states.

Median income in Indiana is 28k.
The only people who live in poverty in America are the lazy, the addicted, and the willfully stupid.
There’s less abject poverty in America than lots of other places, for which we should be intensely grateful. But for you to have the ball to claim that EVERYONE out there struggling to get by is stupid, lazy and addicted shows your true colors.

It also shows that you probably know about eight people irl.

Seriously, you are a miserable ass who has never said a single positive thing. Fuck off.

Learn kids how to budget their illiteracy and lack of opportunity with the labor of their future children

Not sure if serious. She needs to work more hours, maybe pick up another job, look for another job that pays more, etc.
Right? Or do you think it someone else's responsibility to be accountable for the decisions and actions that led her to where she's at? I think it's on her and I wish her the best.

Why dont we just stop paying for kids to go to school? We can just give them boot straps, if they want to eat, they can just pull on those boot straps.

15% ia the goal in savings, how on earth is he not aaving enough, especially living in am expensive ass city like NY.
 
You have to think one million dollars a year pre tax is only 2738 dollars a day, basically. So to make 100 million a year, well, you can do the math
 
Sounds poor. He better stay at home and eat rice and beans and stop eating out.

LOL

It's takes someone pretty (non-willfully) stupid to think that "willfully stupid" makes sense, let alone thinks that a huge portion of the population that works remarkable hours doing unfulfilling work that needs to be done are simply not making the big bucks because.....they choose to be stupid.

Disabled people, mental illness, people who’ve had accidents, people who have PTSD (war veterans), people who work multiple jobs, people who just got out of prison...they're all lazy, addicted or stupid? And what on earth does "willfully stupid" mean?

I can understand choosing to be ignorant, but how do you choose to be stupid? Facultative lobotomy?

People who had kids at a young age, people who grew up poor and didn't have access to professional information or tutelage, people who have chronic illnesses and have been locked into jobs to pay their ongoing medical bills.

I can't imagine how deluded and miserable someone must be to think that all the low wage workers they see everyday - gas station attendants, cashiers, fast food workers, grocers, waitresses - are all lazy, drug addicts, or whatever willfully stupid means.

I think it speaks to the delusions of grandeur of someone who is completely unremarkable that they have to derive moral virtue out of simply not being poor.

Why is this guy literally the 1st post in every single WR thread? Does he just sit at his computer all day spamming refresh waiting for a new thread to come up so he can post a one sentence hate message? Seems like this is all he does. And none of his posts are ever in depth. Just "you're a fucking idiot". or "liberals are commies!" And the saddest thing is that the state of this forum means he gets a ton of likes.
