What did you get to? I’m only at 200k

Looking for 100k

Lol. Yes it is indeed. No plans of entering consulting again? Never missed it?

Marriott points are the new Venezuelan Bolivar so go ahead and cash the rest in for a magnet and be done with it.

Had a million, may go back to consulting at one point but am fine now, gotta spend those like Nigerian currency M1!

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
