re: Single guys making $150-200k a year

They are everywhere. It's not even uncommon these days. I am pretty sure that every single guy on this board it raking that much in and then some. But that would be hard to determine as most of them wouldn't brag about it on a forum. But rest assured that those who do talk modestly about it are not exaggerating or inflating their true earnings by 100%.

Know a single 33 year old woman who has a $600K house and $1M in the bank. She does nothing but work,

I need a bitch like this, I'll stay home and watch the kids.

I am very aware of the tax code. Unless someone wants to say they decided not to make a lot of money because they didn't want to pay taxes, it's incredibly irrelevant to the topic.

Whining about taxes is the cool, subtle way to let everyone know you make money.

Also who has your loans? Navient?

I think Naivent took over a few of mine last week

I don't think you have to fall behind to get a settlement. I get offered settlements on accounts I am not behind on

I don't give a shite about being cool or subtle. It's a fact of reality. It's also very relevant to the topic given common perceptions about how people live with certain incomes and certain circumstances. Your tax burden is greater vis a vis your income as a single man than it is in virtually any other circumstance.

I make $150k base (in NYC), but factor in student loans, taxes, and rent, and I am anything but ballin

150k in NYC wouldn't go far....especially considering the ways I'd spend money when single.

I thought Navient only offered settlement for those who were months late in payment and the settlements were 40-50%. Why outdoor Navient look to settle outstanding amount with a debtor who has always made timely payments?

Goldennugget, did you do anything to solicit the settlement offer?

dude you live in kentucky.



come live in Los Angeles, pay $11 for a pack of cigs, $3.25 a gallon for gas, and $1700 for rent.

I make $115K and that isn't shite out here. And taxes here are 9.75%, not including income tax.

infrastructure is a very, very small % of taxes

Have you looked around you? Do you know what will happen if we cut off poor people from basic necessities? You wanna be part of that upper 5% that fends off the bottom 50% of this country when we give them no food,housing,health care? I know I sure don't, I live in a big house and they'll be at the door waiting to kill a guy like me. We pay a ton in taxes but our bottom 50% live better than the bottom 50% anywhere else on earth. I don't give a shite about any of this free healthcare in socialist europe or anywhere else. If you're poor in the united states, you live a better life than you do in socialist utopias like sweden. Poverty in the US may suck, but nowhere else on this planet do you have the chance to grow up poor, go to public schools free, do well and get scholarships to great college like Harvard and end up with a $200k job at 21 with unlimited upwards mobility.....that's why foreigners die to come here and not sweden.

Our taxes are high, believe me I own almost 30 properties, property taxes alone are astronomical but these are the things that fuel the public schools, the great law enforcement we have, and the incredible military we possess which keeps us safe. If you want lower taxes, like I said, plenty of great nations all over africa,south america, southeast asia with low tax rates and none of the things I mentioned above.

Taxes are a necessary evil, I don't know if I wanna live in a place where I get to hoard more cash while the majority around me struggle with their day to day lives anymore than they currently do.
