sounds good and congrats!!

Hate to say it though, most people don't stay at their sales job for a long time. Plan out your expenditures wisely.

I did themath and considering the bonuses are soo easy to make($700mo) plus a 6th work day every other week $80k shouldn't be too difficult to obtain. It was a rough 1st 2 weeks, but I'm cleaning things up and feeling more in my element...aw shizzy

My priorities have changed:

next 2-3yrs

1. pay off all debt in year 1
2. save 10k
3. sell cars and townhouse
4. Buy 3-4 BR house w/ 2 car garage and a porsche carrera cabrio(used prob), and mini porsche for my son, and whatever suv/car/minivan my wife wants
5. BALLIN!
don't wanna burst your bubble, but 80k isn't "BALLLIN!"

where do you live that you can get that kind of house/cars for 80k a year

yes it's a nice salary, but I just don't see it being a big house with a porsche kind of money.

1) Taxes
2) Job security
3) Inflation

Not to piss in your wheaties.... but you've got more planning to do.
$60k / yr after taxes is not going to finance a house and 2 Porsches.

Hahahahahahaha 80k a year with a wife and a kid is not ballin money. It is good money and a fairly decent living but it is not "new house, Posche and SUV" kind of money while still putting food on the table, paying the taxes and keeping clothes on the families back.

Live on that income for two years before you go out blowing wads of cash, you will thank me for it later
