I'd move to the freaking Delta if it meant doubling my salary.

yep, you should chase the money around early in your career, gives you more leverage as you move up the ladder, a lot harder to do when spouse/kids enter the equation

It's the truth. If you are single then you can have a nice lifestyle but it's by no means balling. I'm 32, live in Lafayette, and make more than that and am no means balling.

Then apparently you're terrible at money management.

i don't think baller status has to do with what you own... you can dress in potato sacks and still be a baller.

I do just fine with money management but i think our definition of baller is different. I see "baller" status as someone who is independently wealthy and not someone that has decent cash flow from a low 6 figure income.

Dude, you're fricking living in Thibodaux.

i would define baller as someone that can easily pay for all their normal expenses then have thousands left at the end of the month to piss away on random stuff. If you're single and make $140k in louisiana, you are that. I'm not saying spend those thousands, just that it's there. The smart thing would be to bank that.

140K is not balling in lafayette. It'll get you a spec home in youngsville and maybe help you pull a little tail at corner bar.

Housing prices in Lafayette aren't bad at all, but I'm coming from a New Orleans perspective.
Posted on 8/15/17 at 12:19 pm to tigersownall
Wtf? Like thibodaux is that much better than ville platte?

Housing prices are pretty reasonable or on the low side for a city the size of Lafayette

$140k
less 20% 401k
less 30% uncle sam
$78,400
say you have expenses of $4k/month ($1000 rent + $750 vehicle note w/ maint and insurance + $500 utilities/bills + $2250 for food, going out, fun money, whatever.) ->$48k/year (this is crazy high but for the sake of the argument)
leaving you with ~30k/year of lagniappe after savings taxes expenses and a good bit of fun.
you could have a damn nice house down-payment in two years and buy something nice for $300k.
Assuming you were renting at $1000/month, your new cost if you finance for 20 years would be maybe $500 extra/month on top of what you were paying for rent including tax and insurance.
So starting from scratch as a single guy making $140k/year after two years you'll have expenses of $4500 and just throw away money of $25k/year.
