Why do people think just because in a few years a person makes a large sum of money. Saul in this case or Kyle Emmual they can be set up life?
In Saul's case. Made $2.5 million. Living in Ohio with state and federal taxes he nets $250k a year. House, young kids, etc. If he saved $250k he did well. When you make $500k, you have a $500k lifestyle.
Watch the movie Margin Call, set along the lines of the lehman brothers collapse. Employee was making $1.4 million a year. Young analysts at the firm thought he was rich and saved a pile of money and could survive the fall.
He goes on to explain, after taxes, housing, clothes, helping his parents and $78k of miscellanous expenses, which were mostly hookers, booze and blow, there isn't much left.
Not that I would expect Saul or Kyle Emmanual to be broke. But i would venture they will work because they have to.
