100k profit, but not working, as a business owner (probably a gas station or two)... lol
So no 9-5's and what not and a decent allotment of free time to travel, do sh!t.
Sure 100k isn't a lot but that'd seriously take care of most/all my wants/needs.
I'd like to be making close to 100k when I finish up school. Its definitely possible if my company goes as planned but with the economy who knows. When I get older and get married or whatever that will definitely go up. I'd like to make 7 figures a year before I retire though and that would be off salary, investments, etc. Should be possible but once again who knows.
You know you made it when you use your salary to pay off capital gains taxes :lmfao:.Quote:

Im a teacher and do ok on 40 a year. Between the wife and I when she gets done in school- I'd say 80 a year would tide us over nicely. Do we want more- hell yeah!
i added a poll for everyone; which i'm sure 50% of posters will put making over 100k and drive civics :jerkit: :lmfao:
That's why I don't make polls. You'll never get an accurate response. But to question the poll....is this Net or Gross? Later, QD.Quote:

I agree with the others who have stated that if you're struggling with the current salary, you'll also struggle at your target goal. The more you have to spend, the more likely you are to spend and then spend some more on credit!!! I'm living proof and now paying for my consequences. I'll be out of the hole and trying my best not to dig back into it within another year though.
Right now, I make about $1700 a month and I live with my girlfriend and a room mate. My girl is a waitress at a nice restaurant and she's about to graduate Agnes Scott, all of us split stuff three ways. I could make more but I'm happy with my life. Hopefully I can start school next fall since she's graduating.
LOL at the poll, already kids are lying
i know right... gotta love peeps online. everyone has to try and act like they are a somebody. :goodjob:Quote:

however id always be more content with 50k, that is my goal this year..well see what happens.
OOPS I put 100k when I should have put 20k over. Damn my idiot brain.
I'd be VERY happy with a household income of $100K and no more student loans to pay for. We're making it fine right now on a household income of around $70K - I just bought the wings for "zee plane". If we made more money, things wouldn't be AS tight, but like I said, we're getting by without eating Ramen. I do, however, drive the world's largest piece of crap, and will continue to do so until the airplane is finished.

Ummm, do you live in Dubai? The average household does not make 6 figures in this country.Quote:

Now I got in trouble in one of my traveling adventures recently.... Yup... debt im in right now.. but is all good.... Me single.. 100K would be straight.. but taxes are killing me now as it is... and then ****ing me at tax time... This year, Im shooting for 80K...
Even if I have to get a PT gig like last year... Life is not easy playboy... but you have to pay to play...
two of the best quotes in this threadQuote:

The more ya get the more ya spend, and unfortunately its hard to slow down spending once you've started. Atleast for me...I'll be comfortable after I save enough money and buy a house and I'm raking in 150-200k...which is hopefully in the near future. but we'll see.
over 100k 7 23.33%
lirl
give me 70-80k and im comfortable..
damn....
kudos to those of us supporting families, paying mortgage, providing health/life/auto/home insurance, daycare, school tuition, college loans, utilities and etc.
I have grown up with parents that make much more than 100K and after living with no worries about money all these years I plan on making the same money and am working on that as a full time student right now heading towards my MBA.
the rich get richer because they continue to do what made them rich
the poor get poorer because they continue to do what made them poor

yep this is why we need a simplified tax system like the Fair Tax, but the media ignores it and wont support it because the poor people think the rich need to be taxed more.
Tony, this thread will not give you realistic results because most, not all but most people will answer is several different ways.
1) AIM high since the figure will indirectly state what they DO make (ie: Well, i can't select 50k because that'll show people that i dream of making 50k which means that i make well under 50k) nah mean? - I could be wrong though. :)
2) Base it on an unattainable or unrealistic lifestyles
3) Think of MTV cribs and AIM to the Sky
I'll take 90-100k (To actually answer your question) i'll be comfy then but if i continue bringing in what I brought in last year I'd still be secure.
I think I found the problem:
Poll: How much do you actually make?
____ Then the post says
What kind of salary..
Do you think it would take for you to live the lifestyle you want?
that caused a large scale misunderstanding LOL so i will give the benefit of the doubt to some of the posters.
when answering the pole if married are you looking for house hold income or personal? stupid question i know, just curious.
My figure was based on single income before taxes.
Just something to think about.Quote:

I am sure that at least some of those people might have answered truthfully ;-)Quote:

I just wondered how common that line of thinking is.
My thinking when I see that is "what are they doing that I'm not" then I get back to reality and realize I'm still in college :(.
