How much money do you make per year?

Question

This is a personal question, yet this is also a private forum. I want to compare with others. So since I asked you, my answer is currently about 65-70K. I did just leave my job where I made 50k about a month ago. Are you satisfied with what you make? How much would be ideal for you?

Answer 1

375k yes I am satisfied completely, but I do put most of it in the bank. When I reach close to retirement age I want to go doctor in third world countries.

Answer 2

One is never satisfied with their salary.  I remember when I use to make $30k a year and I managed.  Now I make more than that and I am still not satisfied.  Id say the ideal number would be above $100k.  Why?  Because if you think about all the expenses and having the ideal financial plan it turns out very expensive.

1. You have to save 15% for retirement

2. Pay rent or mortgage

3. Save for emergencies

4. Have a regular savings account

5. Have college fund if you have children

6. Help parents

7. Pay utilities

8. Transportation

9. Vacation, etc.....
