UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Check out this NY Times story, "You Try to Live on 500K in This Town" referring to recent Obama exec salary cap and the cost of living an upper middle class life in NYC. Basic point is that 500k in NYC is not all that much! I totally agree but I couldn't believe the Times would print something like this now--as if the general public don't already have a seething hatred of Wall St and the wealthy...this is sure to be the tipping point that starts the revolution. Let them eat cake indeed! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/08/fashion/08halfmill.html?ref=style

NP: It's all semantics. We have a HHI of 500K, send 2 kids to private school, rent a classic 6, only take 1 vacation a year, have a part-time sitter, no other homes, don't go out to eat much, own a Toyota SUV which we garage, and put the max away for IRA, 401K. We save absolutely nothing - zero. So with nothing coming into the bank account it's kind of tough to argue that we are living anyting more than an upper middle class life. NYC is simply crazy expensive and I just love it too much to do the sane thing which is move out.
