Single man here👋🏾, No kids, I never bring in below 8K, but it’s typically b/t 8K & 10K per month , but it fluctuates when I’m really going on PRN, it could be b/t 10 & 14K. It just depends on me & how hard I wanna grind for that month. Mind you, this is NET, what I bring home after taxes and employer investments(401(k)/43B/HSA). And of course, I pay my rent out of the net, and I still contribute to my individual brokerage & IRA(back door) and to my high-yield savings EVERY MONTH! Now, I’m not gonna sit up here and say that this is luxury Car money, particularly the cars that you mentioned in your TTs. I don’t have a taste for luxury cars, I don’t have a taste for high-end luxury fashion. What I do have a taste for is living in a comfortable safe neighborhood in a nice apartment, outsourcing tasks, such as cleaning and dropping off my laundry, a nice gym membership, doing at least 1 to 2 international trips a year, multiple domestic trips, making sure my mom has a great time when she comes to visit(I never gotta pay for nothing when she comes in for the weekend) , and being able to NOT be stressed b/c I have FU money/saving for my future self(investments). So yes, very much comfortable. And I know this profession gets a lot of hate throughout social media😂🤦🏽♂️, but I am a licensed clinical social worker(particularly, working an area of medical social work). I do have a full-time medical social worker job at a level one trauma hospital, I do PRN at another hospital, and I also do PRN Home Health. So far, my CPA projects that I will have an estimated yearly salary of between 170 & 180K. It’s probably gonna be closer to 200K b/c I’m choosing to do a PTO cash out so that I won’t lose PTO hours at the end of the year. Essentially, I’ll be giving myself a bonus check🎉🍾. My full-time schedule is chef’s kiss. I work four 10s, w/a rotating weekend, which gives me a four-day weekend the following week. I typically have a three day weekend w/ at least 1, but at times a 4-day weekend per month. Currently, working on purchasing my first multifamily unit next year via the NACA housing program. And I’ll see where things go from there 😎 I live in Chicago 🤙🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
