In most places it's pretty comfortable, but that's about it. Enough for a decent house, a fully loaded Toyota, and 2 vacations a year. It's really not all that cracked as people make it to be. $250k salary is when you can start making big investments and getting big returns. With this salary you should easily escape the rat race within 5 or so years as long as you're aggressive. ... Copied to Clipboard!

$15/hr is about $30,000/yr, assuming you can get 40 hours a week. So, yeah, $50/hr is a lot of money, even if the area your in is unaffordable. The average US salary is about $52k and the median is about $34k (2019). 100k is triple the median and double the average. You can BUY 2 median people and still live a frugal life. --- "We live in a country Hasire.." ~ yosouf06 REVOLVER STAKE! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/ChocoboMog123/AltEisenRChocoboMog.png ...

Bte, the median US home price is about $400k, so you could buy a decent home, pay half your salary per year, and pay it off+30% in 10 years. You could feasibly buy a new home every 5 years and constantly resell for profit. --- "We live in a country Hasire.." ~ yosouf06 REVOLVER STAKE! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/ChocoboMog123/AltEisenRChocoboMog.png ...

The best part of society is that well off people often heavily control the narrative about what "a lot of money" is. Surprisingly, it usually falls just above whatever money they have.

$100k salary means, you never have to worry about struggling paying for the basic life necessities.
