My Math well...$75,000 annual salary..roughly little under then $4,000 after taxes per month... VS. $300,000 annual salary...roughly about $13,000 after taxes per month ------ consider middle class living....average home mortgage, utilities, home insurance, HOA and property tax will cost a average person roughly about $2,000+++++ per month depending on size of mortgage and payment plan where you LIVE....plus (two cars) car payment, gas and auto insurance will be about $800+ a month...misc. expenses (food, lunch and etc.) another $500+ a month per person...i haven't even included luxury good yet...vacations...girl's prada shoe and purse collection...guy's laptop, ipod, poker night with the boys and etc....$$$$$$$$$ realistically..if a girl was to marry a guy with $75k salary...she better bring a considerate or atleast equal amount to live a decently comfy middle/upper class life... but shoot..i would take the guy who will bring home $13,000 a month..$$$..chi ching~!!!..shoot any girls out there bring home $13,000 a month after taxes???..Thinking about Me....JK!
