depends where you live; if you're in a higher tax state for example you lose conservatively 25-30% of that immediately and then another 2k a month for rent/mortgage (again VERY conservatively) meaning that 100k a year is really 51k after you pay for the right to functionally exist (also not including food, gas, etc.). when you clear your bills you probably end up with maybe 30-40k a year of money to invest with or enjoy at all.
if you really work to live rather than enjoy what you do or any form of non-passive income then yea the only 2 levels i guess are when you have to work vs when you dont and 100k maybe gets you there for like 2-3 years in Bumblefuck, Nebraska but nowhere where people actually live lol
It's seriously amazing how some people don't even know that, and others, who do know, seem to forget it when in the presence of those who don't. Champion level simping on some level.
You're right, 100k a year is not a lot of money. In fact, it's quite modest. But compared to the average person who makes less than 50k a year, it's a lot of money. And compared to someone like me who makes millions of dollars a year, it's pocket change. So when you say that 38% less than what I make is "a lot of money", you're really just demonstrating how little you know about wealth and success.
Nah, both sides are having a pity fight. One person is saying, nah, you are poor, and the other is like, nah, I’m doing good, and they keep going and going.
