Would be interesting to know if there are any Wall street executives and senior managers who have been able and willing to buck the trend, live down to earth live and save/invest the rest of their enormous incomes. NYC is expensive for sure, but not THAT expensive...
By the way I've always wondered about those insane co-op maintenance fees in upscale areas. 8000$ a month? Are there gold plated hallways, Olympic sized swimming pools etc. to maintain?
