Beat my paycheck. An ATOT challenge

[alkemyst]

40k$ for any car is stupid, used or new.

Says the dude that thinks gladiators beat tigers barehanded.

Let me guess you use that other dudes method here and just reach down their throat when they go to bite right?

Well, yeah it would be since even you live on $500 per month...even if you spent the other 60% you saved; it would be foolish.

It's going to feel really great being stupid and saving up about $25k over the next 2 years so I can pay for a great car with cash.

No wonder health care is so damn expensive. Overpaid health care workers.

you could save 15k$, invest in something that might get you a %7 rate of return over the next 30 years, and end up with 100k$ after tax

Most bankers are making less than $50k

Lol kiddo..

Do you live in a world where children who work as tellers call themselves "bankers" and you believe them, or do you live in a world where you delude yourself that everyone in a well paid profession makes way less than they do so you can feel good about yourself?

I fcking hate bankers. And they work shitty hours and get no fcking respect from their coworkers and they think they're the sht when they're not. But I know dozens of bankers and not one of them makes less than 70k base. And base salary is across the board less than half of their total comp.

Open your eyes bro.

I get paid b-weekly and my paychecks are about $950, after taxes, insurance, 401k, etc...

I'm a tier 2 support specialist (previously was known as an Application Administrator).

I already do that by maxing out my 401k and a Roth IRA.

Besides, there's no guarantee I'll be around at age 62.

So I'll have plenty in savings plus be able to drive nice cars. Win-win.

Wow, man you went off on some psycho rage or something...

I was in banking from about the age of 12 until 30. We had attorneys working as 'bankers' for around $30-35k then. I was making more than they were.

What is your definition of a banker?

Seriously?

QFT. I am saving and spending now. It's got to suck to just have to live frugally just so you can enjoy the last broken down fight of your existence with a little dignity.

I started by doing clerical work. By 16, I was building loan portfolios for loan sales, by the time I was 23 I was on the road putting together some of the largest loan sales in history. I have a few plaques around here from them. Owned a nice home is an equestrian community on a half acre with a pool and backing to a canal.

Life doesn't have to start in your late 30's to 40's.

The same definition as the rest of the finance world that didn't graduate from University of Phoenix. I'm referring to the slaves of Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Deustche Bank, Citi, JPMorgain, and the rest of the bulge brackets that hire kids from "targets" (read: Iveys) and pay them >100k out of undergrad to do their bitch work.

If you don't know that that's what "banker" means these days out of college, you're either ancient and way behind the times, or you were never in the (douchy) "in" crowd of investment bankers.

I kind of throw up in my mouth as I type that though. What a joke it is for a bunch of monkeys doing 100 hours a week of slave work for banks to think they're on top of the world..

Need proof nao!

 

[alkemyst]

So by your definitely only 'investment bankers' are bankers. I am willing to bet most of those guys would be better labeled with the 'ancient' stock broker/trader title.

WTF is this? I am sorry, but why can't you just show the pics of plaques you got?.. save the name and show us the rest of it.

 

[alkemyst]

umm you can verify through searches back that I started in banking and was in the market that turned BCD loans into a very profitable investment.

This confirms that you're very much out of the loop. Yes, "banker" refers to investment banker, much as it had for more than the last decade. No one gives a shit about tellers or whoever else you might call a banker. And no, bankers are not brokers and traders. Brokers and traders "broke into" the realm of "sales and trading". They do shit like flow or execution trading. Or if they're lucky they actually put on positions on behalf of whatever firm they were hired by. Regardless of whether they're in ibanking or trading, they make roughly the same amount starting out of undergrad (70-80k base, 10-15k signing, 40-60k bonus = ~150k).

Anyway kids on the trading side get way better hours. I'd rather be there than in banking any day so I don't know why you say it as if being a broker/trader is worse lol.

Edit PS: Since you're out of the loop and probably don't know this, in case you're curious.. bankers facilitate the capital markets. They work on "deals" like IPOs, secondary offerings, mergers and acquisitions, and other capital market functions that might require financial expertise. They do modeling, pitch book preparation and presentations, and connect buyers and sellers for various investments in capital market related functions. It's a client driven, bitch work heavy industry. Kids at "target" schools drool about it like dogs at a bbq..
