Disclaimers:
1. I make over $100k
2. I live in Manhatten.
I don't get by with as much breathing room as I should but it is a lifestyle I chose and honestly I could easily get by with a HELL of alot more breathing room by just commuting into work from Brooklyn or NJ. I do not kid myself into thinking I am not well off just because my monthly spending allowance doesn't allow me to buy everything I could possibly want to buy in a month. I know I am wealthy. I live in Manhattan. By myself. That alone beside anything else makes me wealthy. And the government knows it and I pay higher income tax just for where I live and I'm perfectly ok with that. If my taxes were raised a bit again I would also be ok with it. (A bit as being defined as a couple percentage points, not 10%)
