I heard the economy is terrible in other states here in Houston average rent for appartments is $600-$800 for a single bedroom. I know people who live out of $10 an hour and this isn't the ghetto side if town either. Ghetto area appartments cost about $300-$500

There are places in the US where you can buy a 5 bedroom house on lakefront property for under $100,000.
Places where the average wage is less than $2,500/month and cost of living is low enough to accommodate that. The fact that people don't understand that there are places where a single person earning $30,000 per year is upper middle class is astounding. --- Psn: beastlytoast Left-handed fire-slapsies leave me feeling confused about life. - Merydia ...

For reference, in the united states, apparently there are only 8 counties where the median household income breaks 100k, that makes it 8/3143, or about a quarter of a percent of US counties where this type of income would be considered a central tendency.
Or, to put it another way, you are above the median household income in 99.75% of counties in the US, with that salary alone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_counties_by_per_capita_income With 100k, you have to admit you are in a really well off, comparatively within the US, no matter where you are. Even if we don't break down the validity of the argument regarding looking at particular areas to pretend like the salary is low. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you can sustain 100k for 10-15 years or more, you're definitely going to be well off.
It's because it gives you some bandwidth to develop a cushion, but it is not in itself the cushion. This nuance is extremely crucial because there are CEmen who literally think that landing a 100k job makes you rich. It does not, in any sense of the word "rich" You can certainly thrive on 100k per year, even within the first year. But you'll likely have credit card debt or student loans to pay off, and you'll have some investing you'll need to do in order to have an emergency fund and any retirement fund. Maybe after the first three or four years is when you'll feel like you've made it. At least that's how it is for me. --- proudclad LAYIN DOWN THE SMACK - Error1355 ... Copied to Clipboard!

People saying 100k a year isn't rich are utterly delusional. That's more than 80 percent of people in the United States alone and probably more than 90 percent in the world. 100k a year is more than most people who have ever lived have or will ever make.

but it's definitely not the "easy mode" I thought it would be This has more to do with expectations than reality though. You're in the 62ndish percentile of household income in Minneapolis from just one income. Like, I wouldn't call $72k a year rich by any means (or $66k in your case), but a majority of people in your city get by with more than $10k less. I think part of the problem with people in this topic and the earlier one today is that: 1. Having (or being) a non-working spouse is a luxury. 2. Being able to max out your retirement contributions is a luxury. etc. These might be things that are personal goals for you and the second is advisable if you can manage it, but they are luxuries. --- ...

I'm just saying that starting your argument with "Look, after those things I don't have much money left" is already removing things that your average person doesn't have. While being more fiscally responsible than saying "Greens fees: _____", it's still not part of your cost of living.
