We have a very modest group, so kudos to everyone.

I know we joke about rich CBers, but the appetites here are quite reasonable and not extravagant.

You can't buy a home in Utah unless you are making over at least 150K a year.

Mar 28, 1:27pm

Yeah I put $200k and I dont care to live lavishly but I dont own a home yet

I can assure you Oregon has state income tax

Probably thinking of the guys in Vancouver that live in Washington but usually

Been there done that, Oregon gets their money

Born2Fish

Couldn’t remember if it was WA or OR that didn’t have income tax.

Mar 30, 1:27pm

It's Washington

Before or after taxes and tithing?

Japan Coug

Tithing really doesn’t apply since it reflects a fluctuating amount at 10%

SouthernBlueBlood

Mar 28, 1:39pm

Huh? That's basically how taxes work too. Regardless, my question stands, right?

Japan Coug

Mar 28, 1:43pm

Before taxes. That's why my selection is higher than most others.

One of my favorite things to do is buy crypto, so there is no number

^ You are asking income per month, right?

provofan

Reading fail. "Annual income".

You do realize the average family does not have a 2nd residence.

Mar 28, 4:22pm

Modest is a perspective:

Archaea

Mar 28, 4:27pm

I agree with Blue for Life ... that is not "modest" living ...that's upper crust

runnincoug

Mar 28, 5:21pm

It's modest in our wards.

Archaea

Mar 28, 5:27pm

if that is typical in your ward, your ward is far from typical

Owning a home in Vegas and a condo in Brian head if bought pre 2020 isn't crazy

rad dawg

Mar 28, 5:40pm

I should add some context as well

rad dawg

Mar 28, 5:48pm

The big key is when you bought or are trying to buy these. If you already have

Mar 28, 6:10pm

Correct. I am speaking of people who bought them in

Archaea

Mar 28, 8:22pm

Still... only 5% of Americans have a second home so it puts these people in the

runnincoug

Mar 28, 6:41pm

It doesn’t mean many people couldn’t have a second home

Archaea

Mar 28, 8:25pm

I've never claimed that... I've just said it's atypical and backed with data

runnincoug

200k. Gives me about 60k a year after taxes to play with. Would be perfect.

Adwight

Mar 28, 1:44pm

Pre-covid $100k easily. Now $150k minimum

Kajdin

Mar 28, 2:07pm

Me as a single person? Maybe $80K. Me and my wife? $200+

Mar 28, 2:34pm

A single guy not looking to date?
