wouldn't that put them below the 1%, I thought it took 350,000 a year to be in the 1% category.

Independent of salary. What a bunch of spoiled rotten assholes.

After taxes, that's probably about around $200K. Very good money, to be sure, but living well in Manhattan is very expensive. A NYC apartment is likely in the 7 figures, so his expenses are high too. Parking a car can cost as much as an apartment.

He certainly should not be whining, but I don't think that kind of money goes as far in Manhattan as many people think.

salary.

And my daughter just spent a year there as a student.

She had an apartment in Harlem - small, but adequate.

She gave up the car, as it is totally unnecessary there.

Eating at small, often ethnic, restaurants can be done inexpensively.

This guy is living high. His girlfriend likes good food. He complains about taxis when there is an incredible public transportation system. He bought a condo (!?!?!) and complains that it is only 1,200 square feet and doesn't have a dishwasher. He has a second vacation home and whines about his kids fancy private school tuition. He has health insurance, funds a 401k, then has the audacity to complain that after those expenses and taxes, he brings home less than 200k a year.

Give me a break.

The second guy has the 1,200 sq ft condo. I thought he was over the top. The first guy, not as much.

My daughter just spent a year there for under $20,000. It's not luxury living but it wasn't that difficult.

I loved living on a shoestring in NYC. There is so much to do for free or next to nothing.

These guys just make me sick.

not to mention the tar and feathers. Some assholes need an attitude adjustment.

and can't afford a cheap dishwasher ?
