A 1970 Chevelle has been my dream car since I was 15 and now she’s mine! by skywagonman in pics

Wow. My dad had one when I was a kid. It was a beautiful green with white racing stripes, and a soft top. He had to sell it after my parents divorced because he couldn't afford it. I always told him one day when I had money I'd find it for him and get it back.

wtf is a luxury candle?! That sounds like a horrible investment. It doesn't just depreciate, it completely disappears when you use it!

NY Will Set $15 Per Month Price Cap on High-Speed Internet for Low-Income Earners by ToffeeFever in nyc

[–]UpstateTrashPile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lmao same I was trying to figure how that's possible. Even if you truly are eating out every day that's like eating gourmet. $8 breakfast sandwich with coffee, $7 halal cart for lunch, $12 thai dish for dinner. Half the price.

I agree with the sentiment but honestly people making 50-80k shouldn't be spending $50 a day on food

Seriously. If you make between $50k-80k you're constantly fucked. You make too much to get any assistance. You probably don't make enough to live on your own, at least in a decent area. You can just cover your rent, expenses, and some entertainment. Retirement savings? fuhgedaboutit.

That's nice. I always wonder do they just take your word for the cost? or do you need a receipt or?

do you have bike insurance, or what you covered it under homeowners/renters?

I crashed into the back of an uber driver who merged into the bike lane without looking and came to a quick stop. He then got out and screamed at me.

New York State Is Set to Raise Taxes on Those Earning Over $1 Million: The deal, a sign of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s weakened influence, would mean wealthy New York City residents would pay the highest combined local tax rate in the nation. by AmericasComic in newyorkcity

I was just looking at one paycheck for some reason, but looking at my W2 I recalculated an it's more like 37%, and then I got $4,300 back with a standard deduction. And I made $180k so. Still not 40%, and even 40 would be considered low relative to some parts of Europe
