[quote=deadzone]FLU, your math is way off if you think W2 take home pay is only $5500/month on 175K salary. I think you are off by a factor of two. Take home pay every 2-week pay period would be about that.
And anyone with that take home pay would be able to lead a VERY nice lifestyle.[/quote]
No it’s not, at least not for the first 6-8 months. Want proof? Again, the key point is after all your deductions (including some that is really to your benefit, though you won’t have access to it for some time…)
