This will make you jealous or sick...

One of our agents had a closing last week and it was for a huge track of land. His commission check was $48K. He is just now setting up direct deposit and I told him it would take 5 days. He said it didn't matter b/c he was depositing to a savings account anyway.

Holy cow!! He must have money from elsewhere b/c if I were due a $48,000 check I would definitely want it right then and there. That's more than my salary for a year! Almost two years!

Man, what on earth would it feel like to be able to just ignore $48K and put it right into savings? He must be like that Real Housewife Nola posted the other day. Crazy, man!

(oh, and if anyone is making a mad dash to switch to real estate - this is NOT a normal sized commission check for our area. not even close).

Re: This will make you jealous or sick...

  • Chances are he's just smart with his money. If I think back on what I've blown my savings on, it makes me absolutely ill. I'd probably have close to $20k in the bank if I saved it all.. Or spent more wisely. I'm more envious of him than anything.
  • Very nice.  Considering it was a usual deal, he probably wasn't relying on the money, which is great. I'd love to have $48K in the bank.  Having it in equity just isn't the same.

  • He definitely wasn't relying on the money which is the part I'm very jealous of. I would love to have an extra $10K deposit...let alone almost fifty thousand dollars. I literally can't wrap my brain around what that must be like.

  • Oops that's what I meant to write.. Wasn't relying on it. I'd love to have that too. Just as a safety.
