Likely with such a low income of $400,000 a year for two people working, they can't afford a car. A car isn't a necessity in NYC. Renting a parking space can be as much as $500.00 a month for open parking. Then there is insurance which for open parking in NYC can be a ball breaker.
I don't see a $400.00 annual income for a two income family as being all that much.

Because there is a difference between someone who's simply bad at budgeting their money, and someone who has no money to budget.

to bad Fannie Freddie and the rest of the morons involved with pursuing 'home ownership' didn't see that point, to them its all one and the same....and everyone was good enough at it to deserve a house...

who is to say she is not living pay check to pay check....

How do you figure? Paycheck to paycheck on $10,000 is scraping by, if that. Paycheck to paycheck on $400,000 is nannies and private schools, etc, hardly "scraping by".
BTW, My sister and brother in law worked 2 different shifts so they didn't have to pay for daycare but mostly so that one of them would be there for the kids at all times. Their kids went to public schools but one of the best public schools I've ever seen. My nephew graduated valedictorian with a scholarship to MIT. Even with his scholarship they were paying $40,000 a year for his education. They managed, they weren't rich, but they managed and they did it on less than half of what our $400,000 year *itch is making. And strangely enough, they didn't go to the new-stations and complain about how difficult it was on their salaries.....Are you guys sure this $400,000 a year whiner isn't Paris Hilton?
$400,000 would give you a very nice living where I stay at.

This is NYC public schools, hardly the best. They are decrepit gang centers. No caring parent would send their kid to a NYC public school. Because the family needs two incomes, they are responsible in not having a latch key kid in a place like NYC, but have to have an adult caretaker for them. They have a nanny.
How much rent does this family pay? I have friends that live in a small two bedroom apartment in the Wishire Corridor. They pay $11,000 a month for that apartment. Do you MAKE $11,000 a month? I live in a relatively low rent place, a small one bedroom in a building that's 60 years old. My rent is $4,000 a month. Compared to New York, Los Angeles has a cost of living they would kill for.
How about just going out for a burger. How much does a hamburger cost in NYC?
Minetta Tavern: At $26, stopping here for a chopped steak burger is a mission. 113 MacDougal Street, between Bleecker and W. 3rd Streets.
PJ Clarks: This original, 1800s restaurant is always known for good food, especially their $9 burger. 915 3rd Avenue at 55th Street.
Primehouse: One of BR Guest's classy restaurants, consider making reservations before arriving to dine on its reasonably-priced, $15 burger. 381 Park Avenue, South, at 27th Street. (212) 824-2600.
$400,000 a year for a two income family in New York is barely scraping by. They have to have two incomes, they are responsible parents by not allowing their kids to go to public school, and they don't let the kids run around on their own.
$400,000 would give you a very nice living where I stay at.
To be precise, the figure of $400,000 was for a two income family so in order for you to get to $400,000, you would have to get married.

If you get a pay check you have money to budget.

If they were responsible parents, they would work different shifts so they didn't have to hire a nanny and they could take care of their own kids. They could also home school if they hate the public schools so much and can't afford public school. If the rent is so hard on them, they can get roommates, what is it you tell everyone on minimum wage when they can't pay their rent? Work more hours, don't have kids? Get a better job? Get roommates? Yet you defend this $400,000 a year whiner? If she couldn't afford kids, she shouldn't have had them.
Responsible parents making $400,000 a year don't whine to the rest of us making less than a fourth of that about how hard they have it.

How expensive is it in NYC that $400,000 barely gets you by? thats just crazy.
