Doesnt sound like good money management.Right now, my bills are running about $8500 a month for cars, house, cell phone, etc
Doesnt sound like good money management.
I was never taught those skills.
I suck at managing my money. I was never taught those skills.
Second time you write this - what kind of an excuse is this? It's someone else's fault?
You're a grown up and you can pay for a consultant. Given that you make money as a consultant, I don't have to point out that good consultants provide good value to their clients, do I?
So now it's time to spend some money on your education.
That's a piss-poor attitude to have. You're an adult. Get on http://reddit.com/r/personalfinance, read the sidebar links, make a budget, and fucking learn bro.
What kind of cars and homes are you rocking where it's costing you $8500 a month?
I was just trying to help the OP understand that it doesn't "feel" any different to make 6 figures.
I really don't appreciate you two slamming me. I am just trying to help OP. My personal finances are neither of you guys' business.
You're right, my apologies.
Congratulations on your success. However I promise you that if you get a better hold on your finances it WILL feel different. You mention around $160K per year, that's $13.3K per month, probably around $10K after taxes. With monthly expenses around $8,500, that leaves $1,500 per month wiggle room.
But you've got more life experience than I do. Carry on, and best of luck to you in your future.
