Howl posted... I mean, you can leave the comparison to within the US or even within the local area. 100k is a lot in the vast majority of places within the US. Is it though to retire in a few years or enough to save 100k a year? Or course not. But how is that your definition of " a lot". It's obviously not the definition for most in this topic --- Posted with GameRaven 3.4 Beta 4 ... Copied to Clipboard!

This seems too low. Natural gas for people even in warmer states like Texas can be $150/month for heating and $150-$200 on electricity for the A/C in the summer. I live in Dallas and my electricity is usually anywhere from 60 to 120. It only gets up to 120 in the hot months. Usually it's like 70 or 80 though. And I split it with my brother.

i agree that $100k is not 'rich' anywhere in the USA. $100k is closer to 'upper middle class' or maybe even 'middle class', depending on CoL in your area (SF, NYC, etc)

$1,400 for rent $1400 for rent - may be reasonable depending on area $60-$80 for food - I think realistically you'll be spending more than that, though maybe you can cut down to this if you also grow some food yourself $140-$200 for water - where the heck do you live that water rates are that high? That's normal for about half a year here. $60-$100 on electricity + gas - reasonable $100 on phone bill - dude, get a prepay mobile with a good package, something like $20 a month $40-$100 on gas - may be reasonable if you're somewhere fairly central, otherwise, a bit low $130 for cable/internet/phone - you already covered phone; cable is not a necessity; internet can be gotten much cheaper $100 for Amazon Prime - not a necessity $14 for Netflix - not a necessity --- ...

100k a year can turn into a lot.
In itself it isn't all that much. A lot can happen in a year, enough to fuck you over, so you need to sustain 100k per year for at least a few solid years in order to really feel like you make that income. --- proudclad LAYIN DOWN THE SMACK - Error1355 ... Copied to Clipboard!

100k - 35000 taxes = 65k
- 14400 mortgage = 50,600 - 3000 food = 47,600 - 3000 utilities = 44,600 - 2500 insurance for two cars = 42,100 - 2500 fuel = 39,600 - 5000 student loans = 34,600 - 10000 into emergency fund = 24,600 - 15000 into retirement fund = 9,600 Factor in stuff like a parking pass if you drive to the train station a lot, or a parking pass if you park in an expensive parking garage. Wear and tear on the cars. Misc. repairs around the house. Doctor visits not fully covered by health insurance. Kid costs if you have kids. Helping friends/family. Yeah, you have a cushion and you can fund savings/retirement. But you're not rich at all. You won't really feel that well off until you've done this for at least a few years and have an emergency fund that covers a year of expenses and a nice retirement nest egg forming. Sustaining 100g can make you rich. But over time. It is not in itself rich. --- proudclad LAYIN DOWN THE SMACK - Error1355 ... Copied to Clipboard!
