Current Events > Is $110,000 a good salary?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Anyone know?

For me it would be amazing, given the CoL here.

---

yeah for a student just out of high school looking to make some summer cash. Only if you are working less than 30 a week though

---

Which currency and how often are you expected to work?

I mean technically if you were working 120 hours a week at mcdonalds you could pull 110,000 usd a year.

So we need all the facts.

I find it difficult to believe that anyone would be unable to evaluate this themselves.

Hard to answer this directly given both job-specific factors (role, expectations, employment type), candidate-specific factors (experience, qualifications) and location/industry.

But for most people, anything six figures would be at least enough to put food on the table and a roof (of some sort) over your head.

(wonder why someone with NEETs in their sig is posting this.. or is it a weird flex?)

Yeah depends on the state. California or Illinois you might be able to buy a storage shed after saving up a few years

Assuming that figure's in US dollars, it looks very good in most cases, but we need more information to be sure.

• Where's the job? No need for specific details: the country, US state, or nearest big city will do. We just need a general sense of the cost of living.
• What's the job? Again, no need for specifics; the job title is enough.
• Do you have a sense of what the fringe benefits are?

Outside of Chicago and Naperville. Illinois is cheap

If you can't make 110k work for you, you have no idea how to manage money.

---

As long as you aren't living way above your means 100 grand should be a livable wage in any city in America besides the ultra posh suburbs

---

clearly a trolling topic

It is or a normal person.

I mean it won't get you monthly vacations, sportscars, speedboats and mansions.

I live in the midwest. I'm about to sign a 3 person apartment with close friends where my yearly rent will be around ~6000. How high is rent on the coast that $110,000 is "just enough?"

Imagine monthly rent ~6000

Totally depends on your cost of living.

It's nice.

And an additional 25% long-term residual to the doctor who delivered you as a baby.

Given the serious probing questions to actually answer the OPs question were ignored I assume its a troll topic.

There's plenty of people living in the Bay Area making half that and surviving.
