96K/year = 8K/month, and I pocket about 70% of that. Does that seem high to you? It doesn't to me, but then I've mostly lived and worked in coastal blue states.

96K/year = 8K/month, and I pocket about 70% of that. Does that seem high to you? It doesn't to me, but then I've mostly lived and worked in coastal blue states. if I moved to Florida, I'd take home probably another $500/month (and I'd probably spend more than that on having a car).
