$100K is $8,333/month. Using round numbers of $80/hr and 75 hrs a month is only $6000. Even if you add in $800 for per diem (high number) 401K matching of $250 (also high) and profit sharing and performance bonuses $200/month average (no chance) That’s still short almost $1100 a month. Where is your extra money coming from? I just want to know where I‘m going wrong so I can have a little left over to blow on the frivolous stuff the ex wife thinks I was doing before I got divorced.
