Do you have a specific number in mind where you’d feel like “okay, I’ve made it” in accounting? Or does that number just keep moving as your income increases? Curious how others are thinking

Depends where you live and your expenses. If you’re single 150k is great imo but depends where you live. It’s more about controlling expenses than income after a certain point

That’s very true

When I was a staff it was $100K, then it was $180K, now it’s $250K, and I’m sure one day it’ll be even higher. It changes as your life changes.

Damn I agree with that

300k

It keeps increasing. Any time you make it to a target, it becomes your new baseline and you quickly learn the limitations of the target income. Inflation also continues to make those targets weaker by the time you make it there.

Yeah you’re not wrong

225-250k. Don’t want the pressure that comes with making above that. Keep expenses low and you’ll be fine. Especially if your partner can also make 175-225k.

Yep keeping expenses low is key

Once I fully own the roof over my family’s head rather than just making payments to the bank. Whatever number gets me there.
