Ok. I am seriously baffled. How do the NYC circuit and equinox gay bros afford taking the summer off to travel the world, business class nonetheless? I have a decent salary but the economics make no sense. Do they have sugar daddies? Do they not save for retirement? Maybe I’m crazy putty aside 10% of my income for retirement, but I’m seriously confused.

Save less, take on debt, daddy, and/or family money. There's no magic to this

Trust funds or sugar daddies.

Any life hacks how searching for daddies work? :)

nah you just gotta be smart about your choices. some of us work hard and make plenty sacrifices (years at a time) to get to the point where we can take "summers off" also, have you tried being a teacher?

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
