Is a six figure salary really what it used to be?

IMO, no. It feels equivalent to $60K now.

That is a big factor!

Depends on what the six-figure salary actually is! 100k feels a lot more like 60-80k these days, but 999,9999 is also still six figures, lol

Joking aside, your opinion is based on straight facts! Here's the inflationary math about what you'd need to make today to have the same relative spending power:
100k salary in 2019 = $122,096 in 2024
100k salary in 2015 = $129,419 in 2024
100k salary in 2010 = $140,673 in 2024
100k salary in 2000 = $178,134 in 2024
100k salary in 1990 = $243,256 in 2024

Thank-you! I love seeing the hard facts but it's also sad 😩

That depends on how you manage your finances. We are a family of 5 and we are provided well enough by 6 figure salary alone.

It’s more than that. Do you guys have student loans or was college paid for?

What interest rate were you able to get a mortgage at?

If you live in California then you need 2 people getting 6 figures just to pay rent or a mortgage !

😩😩

I’m an application analyst in the midwest for a small CAH. I was hired into this position at $27.15/hr and have now worked here for a year. I’m curious how my salary compares with others working in the midwest.

I am a Nurse Practitioner, with experience in primary care and oncology. I am looking to leave direct patient care and hoping to find a role either in administration, as a health ethnographer or maybe even in education (with a pharmaceutical company).
