What kind of salary..

[tony]

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.

Kev, I didnt post up the poll, paul (admin) did but its still interesting to see. I was just asking what kind of salary you require to live the lifestyle you want.

Personally.. when I see someone with a Porsche GT3 in the driveway I don't automatically think "damn thats a nice car" but the thought is moreso "damn, why is it taking me so long to get there" Its not just the material things but certain goals I set for myself. I just wondered how common that line of thinking is.

Seems like i missed the PeakPostingPoint of this thread

I feel you on that brother!

I know you have a good understanding of the importance of material and non-material goods.

When I think of my family and my fiance, it feels like i have already accomplished all of my goals.

I am never envious of people having nice things like that. I often wonder what they did to achieve those things and what I can learn and apply in my own life.


My wife and I are about 20k a year from our goal. She is going back to school and I am about to finish so this will be attainable soon.

whoa now, I never said envy.. I'm very happy for those people and any chance I get to speak to someone in that position I admire what they have accomplished.

At the end of the day I still come home to more than what some people never accomplish in their lifetime and I am appreciative. At the same time I always push myself, so when I say "what is taking me so long" its the frustration of knowing I'm putting forth every effort to obtain that goal.. envy doesn't motivate me.

I was only speaking for myself. I know some people who are jealous of anyone who has anything nicer than they do. They feel that the nicer things in life should be handed to them while putting in absolutely no effort to obtain such things. Sorry for the confusion

Gotcha, I misunderstood and I apologize.
