NYC Dads - what’s the expected range for fixed costs (rent, childcare, other family activities) for a family with 2 under 2? Targeting at least a 2br/2ba apartment in either Manhattan or Brooklyn. Would be great if you could share your profession and approx. household income, that allows you to make your ends meet! We have a consultant and a medical resident, so not hurting but also not abundant discretionary income

Coop mortgage and maintenance in Morningside Heights - 3500 monthly for 2bd/1ba , 2s program for 2 year old (3 month old isn’t going into daycare yet because I’m still on leave) - 3000 monthly, other family activities - maybe a few hundred (use car to go hiking, have membership at the natural history museum, most spare time with the fam is spent in one of the many playgrounds in riverside park). I’m a post-MBA level consultant and wife works in non profit fundraising. Total pre-bonus HHI is $255K, bonuses bring it close to $300.

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April). I have emailed HR but haven't heard anything. I've got a feeling someone at the top is putting a hold on it.

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars

Sorry if this isn't the right bowl for this question - I've checked a few.

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?

Question about inclusion….

While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college. I was thinking of buying a condo or 2 in lieu of saving and selling them down the line for tuition. Condos downtown are pretty inexpensive (T3) so it’s financially feasible. But is this a good idea or too risky?
