THE 40 YEAR PLAN (or why you can’t afford your dreams). Work for $30 per hour x 40 hours per week x 50 weeks of the year x 40 years. This will earn you £2,400,000 You’re a millionaire, or maybe not! This sounds good, however, when you take off the cost of living, this is how it looks: $2,400,000 $2,400,000
Less Tax/SS (40%) $960,000 Less Rent/Mortgage (25%) $600,000 Less Living costs (25%) $600,000 Total Left after Deductions: $240,000 This $240,000 represents what you have to fund your standard of living if you divide this by 40 years it = $6,000 per year. Now divide by 12 and you get the paltry sum of $500 to live on PER MONTH!!!! This is why people who have a job don’t live in their dream house, have exotic holidays or own the car of their dreams. I may be able to help with the situation above?
