Could he ball out? Go for trips to Bora Bora or Istanbul for a few weeks on his off time? Get his own boat?

not likely. lots of variables though.

Even if you had free room and board, likely not.

You should at least double that number.

I knew a guy that did.
He had a little camper he lived in and a workshop he parked it next to and connected utilities to. He golfed, fished, did what he wanted.

It's pretty clear you're an alter. And your posts suck, FYI.

If you're working remotely from Colombia. Hell yeah you can.

Easily.
*If* you don't blow it on eating out every day, don't buy too much house/car/etc.
So..selective ballerin'.

not a chance, unless you're eating spam and buying clothes from walmarks

Hypothetically speaking, with zero mortgage and no car note, single and no kids...50K is a lot of money.

I make more than double that and I don't "ball out" in bora bora.
As was said before, if you don't have a house or car note, you probably could at $100,000. However, assuming that the person in question has a half million dollars in assets is a big jump.
Rent: $2,000
Car Note: $750
Boat Note: $750 (you should never finance a boat)
Boat maintenance and storage: $250
Food: $750
Entertainment: $1000
You're at $66,000 cash right there. You'll need to make over $100,000 to bring that mug home after taxes and deductions.

750 car note? I'd not do this. Ever. That's me. Buy a used BMW or something if you want an expensive car.
I thought my $300 note sucked. I must be such a cheap bastard
Ball out would be hard for me to do regardless of income I guess. I'd be like Whoopi handing over that check to the nuns in Ghost.

I made ~$50k living at my parents house for the first 2 years of my career our of college. No rent, no car note, no food, no utilities, etc. I literally paid for nothing except food and booze.
I lived like a college kid putting ~$500 in checking and the rest into savings every paycheck. That $500 is what I lived off of and I still had a lot of fun. Could I have lived like a king if I spent the rest? Probably not. That's not my style anyway, but financially I could have done some cool shite but living like a king would be stretching it. Wouldn't have mattered as I didn't have the time.
