Lexus LS430 is the king of the road dude..Benz is killer but has many build flaws as well, but once they are sorted out drive amazing. (PM me for more car questions before purchase if you like, it's my thang) Just remember though........ A gentleman never brags...........

Title: Re: Biggeset Monetary Raise You Ever Recieved Post by: SLCPUNK on April 16, 2006, 12:02:06 PM Remember you can end up getting stretched thin even when you make big money. Many people upgrade, buy bigger homes, bigger cars, and are issued more unsecured credit. Then you are right back to being owned by the banks. IMO that is no way to live, but to each their own.
I had a good friend (like a father figure, older guy) who was a millionaire several times over. He owned RE all over Tampa, and owned a successful business. He never upgraded too much. He had a nice (but older) Cadillac which he drove around. He always wore jeans, never bought a bigger home (the home he had was in a nice area though, owned it forever), and never upgraded the home he had. Paid cash for everything and never used credit. Just a cool old Latin guy, that was 67 yrs old going on 18. You never would have guessed he was rich if you saw him. He liked to drink at happy hour and go for Cuban sandwiches for lunch. He simply did not care about all the other crap that went along with it. He just enjoyed what he had and didn?t try for more then he really needed.

I'll concur with Sterling; for those of us that live in California, a $450k house is nothing.? Where I live you can't even buy a 600 square foot condo for that.

Assuming the 50k raise was net (although probably not, but just for fun), after taxes.......I'd stay in the same lifestyle I had before the raise. I'd dump all that money into an index fund that mirrored blue chip companies. At a conservative return of 9 percent he'd probably have around 800k after 10 yrs (imagine doing that for 15 or 20!). Of course I'm leaving out capital gains etc. But you get my point. Why not take the money and pump it into something and try to create real liquid money, instead of buy more expensive stuff? I remember reading a thread on another forum about prices in California. There was a link to condos on realtor.com and the prices were out of this world to me. So funny. I guess that is why so many people moved to Las Vegas a few years back. Even now for 450k there you'd get one helluva house. In Utah you'd get a castle! http://www.utahrealestate.com/585147 http://www.utahrealestate.com/reports/photo/index.wfr?types=&find_listno=585147&ptype=p_res Title: Re: Biggeset Monetary Raise You Ever Recieved Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on April 16, 2006, 01:06:41 PM talking about salary
i am so shocked on how high the salaries are in the usa i am 23, and i just got a contract for 44K (euros, so thats 52k dollars). with L'Oreal. and that's a big pay for a 23 year old kid, first job. but when i look at the salary stats in the us, people get like 60K so easily. i dunno. not fair. and i am never sick, so getting free social security dont help me much :( Title: Re: Biggeset Monetary Raise You Ever Recieved Post by: SLCPUNK on April 16, 2006, 01:30:43 PM talking about salary i am so shocked on how high the salaries are in the usa i am 23, and i just got a contract for 44K (euros, so thats 52k dollars). with L'Oreal. and that's a big pay for a 23 year old kid, first job. but when i look at the salary stats in the us, people get like 60K so easily. i dunno. not fair. and i am never sick, so getting free social security dont help me much :( How does that compare to cost of living?

Those that try to act rich never seem to have as much as they would try to make you think. I actually knew someone who won the California lottery within the first few years of it starting, so it wasn't the huge prize they have now. It was several million payable over 20 years, so he should have been set. But he ran through it so quick and owed so much -new cars, houses, vacations, etc. I don't think there was anything left for his kids when he died.

I was just making a conservative investing example. The wallstreet average has been around 8-9 percent I'm quite sure (too lazy to search.) Of course there is 3 percent for inflation, operating costs, yada yada yada. But 9 percent is the average. Plenty of funds have averages in the teens for well over ten years. I'd buy RE too, but it is a market like any other, it goes up and down. For me, I like both stocks and RE, they are win win in the long haul. I pump as much money as possible into both, while keeping my living expenses low. |
