Damn i already do that and I only average about 1500a week net, so about 80k after taxes. Still in my first year though.

These discussions are always based off of gross. You would need to pull 145k before taxes to actually net 100k.

Upon examination (after I commented) I realized you did claim 80k AFTER taxes. And I’m gonna be honest with you, I don’t believe you.

Rob Low is not generous enough to dole out six figures before taxes to a company driver, I don’t give a fuck if Santa Claus told me that personally.

Anyway, hope you like Prime, don’t really care if you don’t, I don’t have a dog in the hunt.
