CONCHO you’re right he’s doing well, but after my simplistic math (even if he’s paying 35% tax and maxing out the 401k at $15.5k) he should be taking home at least $6700 per month. I have lived quite comfortably for some time now on $2.5k per month (single and in a decent condo, with many toys and vacations) while I save the rest of my income.
I guess the rest goes to the wife-2b. Anyhow, my point is: pinch every penny!
