I've done alot of research on becoming a pilot and commercial piloting.
If your commercial, apperently you should be seeing 6 figures.
Unless Fed-Ex would be your "hop on the train" and your private still.
Any which way, thats gotta be a kick a-- career!

see the problem is if i were lying i wouldnt have paystubs with 690.00 a week.


and the other problem is, you guys are all narrow minded assholes that think you know everything. i work for a law office as an executive assistant and translate documents from korean to english for lg and samsung. its great how everyone assumes that just because you've never met a high school drop out that made it, it isnt possible.

not that i didnt get some good advice from the people that actually took the time to address my question. thanks to them i went back and found a better insurance rate and got my car refinanced.

i never claimed to be "baller status" and i'm not full of b.s. i'm a 19yo girl that got lucky and bought her dream car so all you haters can suck it.

Man.... that is some 40% tax she's getting deducted.... me thinks her employers is screwing her more than her car payments were, specially since 2950 + 1673 does not add up to 4166.

50k/75k in NYC isn't the same as 50k/75k in most parts of the country. It's all relative. Just like how you spend it. During college I worked summers/winters for an oil service firm [NOV] and worked with some PhD students for online marketing and even after tuition, rent, books, gas, insurance, all that bullshit I saved 5k+ a year and invested it. That's while spending 10k on tuition and books AND not having all that time to work.

It's about how you use your money just as much as how much you earn it. You aren't making 50k a year, you just think you are. Really, you are making the government about 20k a year, the mall probably 3-5k a year, the bank that financed your car 2-3k a year, your apartment owner 4-6k a year, etc.

Gotta pay yourself first, you can do it.

Plan A: Sell your cars and buy a used econobox, and your insurance will adjust downward accordingly. Find some roommates and move into a cheaper apartment. Stay frugal and eat/drink out only a few times per month. Save your extra money and invest in a college education for a more stable and lucrative career.
Plan B: Continue your present course. Pray that your $50k/year job will exist for ever and ever. Trade in your S2k for a MY 2009. Watch your bank account with fear and loathing.
