That’s an insane amount of monthly income 😂

Move out of the sticks, fella.

I had to reread that part twice.

LOL I thought this was yearly income and was so confused how they were saving so much

$30k monthly income and $1,625 in rent and utilities? What is happening here?

Gym costs 500 dollars? What the?

Like, 360k per year! Even if it’s two people, those are crazy high earners

I thought that was unusual, too. Many people I know who make much, much less spend about that much and even more on rent per month.

Echelon? Epsilon? Something like that. Swanky gym

Maybe a personal trainer’s fees are included in that?

Gym cost $585/month? In what universe?

My partner and I split rent for a 2br/2ba in a nice, newish building with lots of amenities and an Amazon Hub locker in the mailroom (we got a great deal during the pandemic and they’ve raised the rent manageable amounts twice since then). So the 1625 is my portion of rent plus utilities.

You are correct. “Gym” includes classes at my MMA gym and personal training 1x a week.

Wow, only your monthly state income tax is equivalent to my monthly house payment. A 3400sqft mansion in Texas.

Yikes…

That’s California for you… I shouldn’t complain though. I am very blessed.

These numbers were making ZERO sense to me because I thought it was 30k yearly, so my head started to hurt trying to make sense of what was going on.

Read it again and saw it's MONTHLY and my head began to hurt for a whole different reason. 😂 You do 1,000 dollars of traveling a month??

Hmm, what a strange comment. Congrats on spending more money, I guess? I couldn’t imagine spending $5600/mo just on transportation, but cars are not my thing. And I thought my food expense was high, but yours is making me feel better

How are you saving and investing nothing on 30k a month? Your expenses account for over 95% of your take-home income.

What gym is costing you almost $600/month? Are you building a gym from scratch?

Everything here is the average of the past 12 months, so I spent about 12k on travel in the past 12 months (which really isn’t bad). My partner and I both love to travel. We usually take 2 1-2 week international trips a year and several shorter (read: cheaper) trips, like camping, visiting a national park, etc. Covid didn’t slow our travels down - we just adjusted where we went based on restrictions and flight availability, and remote work made it easier to get away, in some ways.

>$60.000 on dental and $5,000 on a hospital bill.

So $360K/year but no health insurance?

I hope you understand the a large proportion of Americans don’t make remotely that much. But nice flex I guess?

Yeah, it's more like 300 a month though right?

Are you really surprised you can pay up to an unlimited amount of money for fitness stuff in SoCal?

37% savings rate a good amount, though I doubt crypto is going anywhere.

Must be lucky to have nearly fully subsidized health insurance. That is my largest budget item.

I never see charity in most millennial budget breakdowns. Sad.

I thought it's yealry and was outraged by the taxes hahab

Why would you bring that up ?

In what field to you work ?

I think I speak for everyone here when I ask who makes 30k per month and how do they do that and in what field? Like we genuinely wanna know, even if this kind of jobs are out of reach for us

God tier frugality

I know several COUPLES that make that much but for an individual could be tech, business owner, big lawyer, specialized doctor. Lots of options

I thought it was 30k yearly and was about to post how the taxes are wrong.

For a couple in a HCOL area it's nothing special, but for an individual it's pretty special anywhere.

Dude is clearly a FIRE aficionado.

What’s insane is almost 50% of your income is taxes

She’s an attorney

Lucky, lucky. I don't begrudge you it! Hopefully you can go farther and wider soon.

I make around that depending on the year. Commodity trading.

I work as an attorney in biglaw. I also know many people who make as much or more than me in the legal, medical, tech, or business fields

1625 rent and utilities? in SoCal? where do you live?

We live in LA. As I mentioned in another comment, my partner and I split the rent and utilities.

thanks for replying. sounds like you found a cost effective place to live down there and make real good money.

Thanks! Yeah, we are fortunate and have worked hard. We’re both interested in FIRE, so saving a high percentage of our income is important to us

Why is the gym so expensive. Was that a typo?

Well that guy is either full of shit or will have nothing if the income dries up.

Is everything multiplied by 10?

I assume you’re maxing 401k/Roth?

Probably Equinox or something like that
