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.

OP, if they do have sugar daddies and don’t save for retirement, are you willing to do that for their lifestyle?

Compounding is a powerful investment strategy, and offers the greatest benefit to those who start early. Save more than 10%, not less.

Comparing yourself to others steals your joy. You get AND KEEP the lifestyle you earn. Stay focused.

Trust funds and/or credit cards. I have a few friends like this. No sugar daddies for any of them though—as far as I know.

A non-negligible amount of people also have decent jobs, especially when you're talking about guys in their mid 30s. Lawyers, doctors, tech bros, businesspeople who can take off some time. You might notice this if you talk to guys on gay cruises.

Do non white gay bros do this too? Curious

I’ve known a few—including my ex—they’re all Asian though, for whatever reason.

OF and Sugar daddies. Others are living above their means and accumulating credit card debt.

Flight attendants are always jet setting when not working, they can definitely get business class seats a lot cheaper. There are also the people that get buddy passes from flight attendant friends, that helps getting cheaper seats.

What's your income? If you earn $300k or more you shouldn't have problems paying for business class. If you make less, then you need to learn the points/miles game. Contact me if you want tips.

I pretty much fly biz or at least premium economy on international flights either using points, upgrades or finding good deals on tickets. I make around 300k. I don't set aside 10% but I contribute the maximum I can to 401k. If you earn 150k or more, you should be able to easily fly internationally in biz class using a points strategy.

We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise
