I always wonder whether these types of surveys include the effect of taxes. Either, by making the salary listed net of federal, state, and city tax, or by including it in the 50 part of the 50-30-20 expense budgeting.
“Either, by making the salary listed net of federal, state, and city tax, or by including it in the 50 part of the 50-30-20 expense budgeting.”
50+30+20=100%. You can’t budget what you don’t get.
