That’s like 400k a year pre-tax salary. If they’re making that much and still can’t afford a nice meal, they’ve got some serious problems with budgeting and restraint.

Does your year have 24 months or your months have 8 weeks?

  You pay like 40% tax at that salary.

    Are you high? That’s not how tax brackets work and 10k/2weeks is 240k a year

    I did not use a calculator the first time, but I don’t think I was that far off.
    
    This calculator says that if you live in California making $400k a year, your takehome pay is $238k

  That’s easy. Let’s assume you take home 18,000 a month. To get the couch, cut your food budget in half and skip rent for 1 month.
  
  Using the extra $900 to hire a moving company to get the couch in.
  
  Next month, you going to face late fees Again, cut the food budget in half, and use the $900 for rent.
  
  Repeat for matching Tiger and Panther couches.
  
  If your landlord complains about the late and unpaid rent, just remind them its all for the couches. They’ll understand and leave you alone. That being said, be sure to place the couches so one can be easily moved in front the door whenever you’re there.
