    For years I struggled with outstanding debts, bills and my children's school fees. I am a banker earning $2,500. However I spend almost $800 taking care of the family's needs and the kids. however I am starting to travel towards the end of summer. I was at a point where I wanted to give up. I came across every KZread channel about how to make and multiply your income through passive income. Fortunately, I had saved some money and decided to start an investment, Now I have bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that doesn’t believe in investing..

    This will be executive director salaries within Merger and acquisitions. Most people working at investment banks are not working 90 hours every week, I can tell you that because I worked at one! Average week on a trading desk is 50-60 hrs. You would never except to work less than 50hrs but only in severe market conditions would you work 90+hrs. MDs might get paid similar to executive directors or they may get paid much more. In my experience MDs and EDs can earn several million a year if they are really some of the best at their job but most of them earn between $450k-$1.5m really depends on the role and your skill.

    This should be done pretax. Taxes are different for different people. In the last video I watched you showed that that took 49% taxes out of your bonus. That says nothing about what you actually took home when your taxes were reconciled at the end of the year. You likely had a sizable tax return.

    Hi Ben, my father has worked as CEO/MD in non-New York JPM for the past 20 years since his first working year. How much money including the bonus do you expect he would have made? He has always mentioned that he does not have much money as an excuse for not giving me allowance until I go to a college, and has never given me any allowance including monthly rent, and any spendings besides only exact amount of 'college tuition' excluding the room and board fee calculated after given pell grant or scholarships or financial aid I received. Please leave a comment as an answer, thank you in advance.

    Hi Kevin - even if your father was a billionaire, he has no obligation to give you money.
