    You Try to Live on 500K in This Town

    check this very cool article that breaks down living expenses on NYC bankers which provides a neat glimpse into a high-end way of living. it provides an understanding why they will be very unhappy about higher taxes and a salary cap of 500k. They just will not be able to survive.

    "Five hundred thousand dollars ? the amount President Obama wants to set as the top pay for banking executives whose firms accept government bailout money ? seems like a lot, and it is a lot. To many people in many places, it is a princely sum to live on. But in the neighborhoods of New York City and its suburban enclaves where successful bankers live, half a million a year can go very fast."

      It seems big earners dont think they have to make any cut backs, even when the places they work are getting bailouts !

            note: successful bankers.

            these guys companies failed, the company needs welfare... they are not successful. People on welfare never get to choose where they live.

                Oh Darn. They might have to give up 1 of the vacations a year and cut back on the price of another.. Sad that my last vacation for 3 adults and 1 child cost me a little over 1200$ for 5 days.

                          Government should not be setting executive compensation, but they should not be in the bailout business either.

                            Too fucking bad. If you can't make it on 500K the MOVE to a cheaper area or cut back expenses. I could live on $500K for 10-12 years easy. Maybe longer.

                              yes, but in this current economic reality, if they're gonna ask for a hand-out, they have to take the rules too.

                                  do they think they are going to get sympathy by complaing about making "only" 500k?!?! Idiots...no wonder their banks failed.

                                    These 'successful bankers' should count themselves lucky they were not caught doing what they have been doing in China. There, they would have most likely received a single gun shot to the back of the head, not a cap of $500k per year. LOL

                                          $500K is a lot of money even for someone who lives in New York. The only interesting line in that article is this one, which is scary also for the middle class who live in NY:

                                          "But in New York, where a new study from the Center for an Urban Future, a nonprofit research group in Manhattan, estimates it takes $123,322 to enjoy the same middle-class life as someone earning $50,000 in Houston, extricating oneself from steep bills can be difficult."

                                            It's a matter of perspective, some people think 50k/year is a lot of money.... others think that 100k/year is great... then once they get there they realize it's not really THAT much...

                                                    i have no issues with this. These are companies that need a bailout. If your company is kicking ass, feel free to get paid whatever the hell it is that you want.

                                                        that was the view in the 30's and resulted in a huge economic massive downturn due to govnt inaction.

They just will not be able to survive.

                                                          "Five hundred thousand dollars — the amount President Obama wants to set as the top pay for banking executives whose firms accept government bailout money — seems like a lot, and it is a lot. To many people in many places, it is a princely sum to live on. But in the neighborhoods of New York City and its suburban enclaves where successful bankers live, half a million a year can go very fast."

                                                          They should have thought about that before driving their corporations into the ground.

                                                          If they can't make it in New YAWK on $500k, move to the midwest.

I guess they take a bus or get there some other way. If you want to live there you're gonna pay out the ass. Sure you could drive/walk to work if you did and it wouldn't take long but that's a luxury. Most the crap they list is just a luxury a lot of people want but don't have. They should be glad they can afford most of that crap.

                                                                          Maybe when they can't pay theior mortage they will think twice about all the people they screwed with their ARM's and so on that led to their own failures.

These assholes don't even actually produce anything. It's ironic that the people who make the most money do so because they are smart, crafty individuals. They don't deserve to live like kings for moving around the money of those who actually can create something. It's so backwards.

                                                                            It's funny, and I hope they die soon.

                                                                                            Also, some of these CEO's were brother in AFTER the failure. If they don't pay them decent they will leave for a different industry.

There's not. nearly all those banks and financial companies are public companies owned by millions of regular Americans (and non-Americans for that matter). JThe banks owners are regular people saving for their retirement in their 401ks and through mutual funds. Even the biggest shareholders are large public companies owned, again, by the citizens of Main Street. The same people who lost 30% of their home equity and 45% in their 401k, the same people who bought options ARMs, the same people who bought into "Real estate never decreases in value" own Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America. Either directly through mutual funds. The result is the same. Main Street *is* Wall Street.
