So. cal is a very cool place to live but, for 400k you could have 4000 square feet here in OK. That is new construction, used houses are even less.

 

that is great, cept im not white.

being that im asian im not going anywhere near the frickin south unless i have some wish of getting lynched or treated like a 3rd class citizen.

 

Ah, well, I can't help myself ...

1) Oklahoma, the South? I grew up in the South, went to college in the South and most of my family still lives in the South. Oklahoma is not the South.

2) I'm black, and I am amazed at the notions people have about racism in the South. Does it exist? Yes. Is it as bad as people who don't live there make it out to be? No. Frankly, you're more likely to be treated badly certain places in the South simply because you aren't from there and have an uninformed idea about attitudes there. And I can't say I've encountered more racism there than other places. And I grew up in the "Heart of Dixie," Alabama.

But this is way off topic ...

 

What part of AL? I am in AL.

 

grew up in Mobile; went to UA

 

i take home like 2300-2500 / month from 2 jobs, while attending night classes @ college twice a week...

its all worth it..

 

I have to applaud people who carry that load, so here's to you. BTW, Montgomery, N.Y.? Isn't that the home of Orange County Choppers? Or near there?

 

400K here gets you a Mansion on 100 Acres. No Joke.

I have a 1/2 Acre in town with 2500sqft, brick and paid less than 100k...

 

Double Post.

 

you can't even get a townhouse in a decent neighborhood here for that amount. there is a house down the street going for $350,000, but it's being sold as a teardown on a nice lot, so the house is like a freebie that the buyer probably won't ever live in.

 

dope dealing is not a legal profession,

 

53 years...retired two years now.
48k
Everyday is Saturday! Crazy!

 

im a coupe owner but im 23...my parents bought me my first 2 cars but now i make over 300k/year so i bought them some cars too...and yea cost of livin in MD/DC/VA is crazy these days. We bought our house 2years ago for 700k and now its well above 1.4mil

 

300k per year at age 23!!?? What do you do?

 

hahaha yeah, thats pretty damn impressive. what do you do, and how the heck did you end up getting that job so young?

 

I'm 25 and in the 65K+

Tech school paid off!!!

 

AND why did you buy a 350z? and not a Ferrari?

 

i own a large junkyard/salvage yard in the MD/DC/VA area and own couple of assets around town. At my age i dont need a ferrari. Maybe when i start makin a little bit more money as i open up few more businesses ill get to buy one before i turn 30 but at my age i think a Z is sufficient. Besides in order for you to afford a ferrari and pay for other expenses you should be makin way over 300k/year. Once i start makin over 500k ill think about it

 

Agreed. 300k/year is not sufficient income to own a Ferrari assuming that the rest of your lifestyle is also commensurate with your income. Remember that at that income level, you pay about 40% of your income in taxes. You also lose a portion of your deductions for mortgage interest, state tax and property tax due to the Alternative Minimum tax. If you own a nice home, have multiple reasonably nice vehicles, kids in private school, are saving to put your kids through college debt free, take some nice vacations, etc. you really don't have money left for a Ferrari. If you look at the demographics of Ferrari owners, of which there are 20,000(approx) worldwide, their average income is about $15,000,000 annually. At 300K/year, you can own a heavily modded Z, paid for in cash, or something like a BMW M5 at most.
