Title correction "Living on 133k income in Salt Lake City" stop clickbaiting and lying

@02nupe 24 дня назад

This is correct and Im a fan of Cnbc make it, but she is not living on 37K a year when she lives with her husband making what he makes.

How does a 40k downpayment on a 535k home at 2023 rates give you a mortgage of $2147? Are they not including taxes and insurance? The principle and interest alone should be at least 3k.

@katherinelangford981 24 дня назад

Food budget $1390, and discretionary is $832 with 50K in debt and they save $400mnth, which means more could be going to pay down that debt. Like just 50% each of those three things and you'd have about $1250 more a month to pay down debt which in a year is $15,000 extra on top of the $2450/mnth they already pay, they'd be out of debt in like 1.25 years.

@douglassmith9445 23 дня назад

They are the perfect example of a couple that had no business buying a home and did so anyways, also managing to overpay in the process. Typical middle class choice, further manipulating the over priced housing market as the cherry on top. They will be in debt for years to come.

@har795 24 дня назад

They're probably paying for their phones in installments, with two phones that could be $30 per phone plus another $40 per line for the plan. Most phones bought through carriers are like that now, unless you pay the full amount upfront for the phone

Bitcoin is on its way to breaking records, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's gaining more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.1Blitcoin to a decent 11.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is Samantha Jack , whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment
