$300,000 per year - Could you survive?  

The where I live one could buy 2 or 3 mountains with that much sum. Thats 144cr Indian rupees, which is the annual income of many small countries in Africa etc. What we must understand, that man has an inert desire to excel and flourish no matter what. Every achievement seems insignificant against the proposed goal. Maybe the lady nurtures the ambition of becoming Bill Gates. LOL.

Unfortunately - it's true. Some spoiled rich people, they don't know what it's like to not have much or not have anything at all. They've never gone through financial hardship, so they don't know how they'll survive when they have less money to go around.

HECK! I'm an engineer - and I'm still here trying to make extra cash! And no - I don't see that kind of money annually. Heck - I'll be happy if I make just half of that!!

Such is life though. I think it's good for her that she lost so much money - that's the only way she'll learn to get by with $300K a year! (That's A LOT of money!!)

yea difinitely...


it's enough for me and the kids

I would not be complaining but you know when you grow accoustomed to a certain amount of money to go down can hurt. I call it refigure your budget. If the money you once had is now gone because of whatever reason you must decide what is imporant and what is not. I guess for me if I had that kinda of money I would never really be complaing but some people to me are just too greedy. Take care and happy mylotting to you.

I agree i think its absolutly ridiculous but i think most people increase there standard of living as there income increases and this woman was obviously used to having probably twice that amount of money when she was with her husband so even though its hard to understand for those of us that survive on much much less its all what you get used to living with and its probably very hard to downsize and get used to living with less and learning how to cut corners to make the amount of money she now earns be enough to support her

To answer the title of my post. If we had $300k a yr, we'd be living VERY WELL!

You know some people haven't had a reality check in so long they have no idea what it's like to be literally just scraping by! No idea the humiliation of applying for any kind of assistance or going to a food pantry what that is like. People like that make me want to reach thru the screen and slap some sense into them.

There was a baseball player earlier this year who felt his millions were not enough to sustain his family. Oh BOOO HOOOO for him! Poor thing when the rest of the real world lives on much less.

My heart bleeds peanut butter for this woman.

Seriously? She calls 300K a year hard to live on? My DH and I live on half of that a year PLUS we live in one of the states with one of the highest costs of living in the country. I don't have rental property or alimony coming my way. I actually have to WORK for my money as does my husband and I bet this hag walks around all day in Gucci shoes carrying D&G sunglasses that cost more than my first car and attends salons and tennis matches all day while some assistant she hired and pays maybe $15 an hour does all the REAL WORK.

Get over yourself lady.

$300,000 per year definitely is more than enough for me and my family as well, with this money, i can be staying in a very comfortable environment in my country.

I doubt that she could do without a nanny. A nanny is much more then a babysitter. If she is a V.P. she probably has little or no time to raise her children... the job of raising the kids falls almost completely on the nanny. It would be cruel to take away the child's parental figure, especially right now, after a divorce.

However we get by on a lot less money then she has... and in my opinion, if you can't afford your lifestyle, its time to get a new lifestyle.

as someone who struggles financially, not for lack of working my butt off either, i feel she is delusional. if she would like to come here and live in my shoes for even one day i say bring it. in order for me to be here for my son before and after school and during summer breaks i work from home babysitting 32-40 hours per week, i am the bookkeeper for my husband's small businessand i work online part time doing surveys and product testing. so i work about 50 hours per week on top of taking care of the home and all that entails and driving my son to and from school and helping him with all his homework etc. not saying i deserve a pat on the back but if you saw what i make for doing all that in comparison to what she is raking in it is pitiful. do i complain? i just work harder and harder. sure i could work outside the home and make alot more money and have benefits and all but for me it is a personal preference of wanting to be the one to raise my own child and not a babysitter or a daycare worker who really does not care about him but just the paycheck. further more if i did work outside the home full time i would have to spend at least half of my paycheck on childcare and have no guarantee that he would be well taken care of anyway. but to complain about making that kind of money. i wish she were standing here in front of me right now. the nerve of some people is right!
