So here are my thoughts. They comfortably can take care of basic life necessities, they invested in their 401Ks (theyre not exactly intelligent because they didnt expand their investment porfolio options, but investing in something is better than nothing), they invested in their childrens academics, luxury dates and vacations and over the top mortgage house bills etc, no problem. Choose the right industry. Use the tax-free long-term capital gains every year to pay for the monthly payments of a car if you actually do need a new car. Childcare cost is real in NYC, I would say they are getting away easy with $42k for 2 children. after that focus on your forte and start doing hard work together with smart work. Aside from the fame actors enjoy, attached to it is a whopping amount of income. d){for(var e=[],f=3;f
