The suspect those attorneys were no different than your typical corporate attorney in the Dallas or San Fran area: which is probably a pretty sucky life (if it’s anything like my friends’ in NYC)
I have to call BS on this!

Millennials. There are a couple of these, but I could not find one where there's a family with kids. But, the point you bring up is perfect ... Why would I slave to have half taken out when I can try to find some cash gigs instead or open a business/consult and pay myself the minimum? Being an employee is becoming more and more for lazy losers. And than they say, we can't find any workers.
It's a very good education, but it's really about the connections. The list of the parents is a veritable who-is-who and the kids will have a chance to be their peers. That's worth way more than good education, iMHO.
Public schools in Manhattan and the rest of the city are kinda sh*t, from what I understand.
I think almost every high paying profession out there has a strong cyclical component, be it in finance, programming or anything else. Percent of people that manage to steadily make 500 a year is probably very small.
I did mean Honda Fit, but I guess it shows how much I care about what I drive.
It's a Honda. Cause my dumpster on wheels is a compact, so that's cheaper plus there is a luxury/exotic surcharge. I asked them today, it would be 1.1k a month to garage a proper sports car.

I take pride in the fact that my car is the cheapest in our garage by a large margin.
To be honest, if I did not rock climb and did not have a large dog, owning a car here would not make much sense. The breakeven between renting and owning in terms of overall cost is around 7-8 driving days a month.
When I lived in NY, left the car in storage. Never used it.
I grew up in Chicago and joined U.S.Army when I was 21. Army bounced me around first year in Georgia and foreign ground. Then sent to West Texas, but in past 40 years have lived in Florida, California, Alaska, several parts of Texas, but home been West Texas. Have traveled to foreign lands on/off 17 years for assignments for work but never able to get a feel how life was. Europe seems to taxed high and only few places have stayed for a month. I do like Isle of Mann, quiet, cooler, windy and taxes lower, but when you need an American pizza, Uno's in Chi-town and now one in Las Cruces, NM up the road from me.
Property tax higher, they have to get it somehow but it doesn't jump hugely. No tax on food, gas today 2.32, cheaper in East Texas. Homes reasonable as many from California have moved. Some areas seldom ever get snow. Austin become new silicon valley.
Not on that baller status yet
