What’s your ideal salary number? The one that you’d feel you don’t have to worry. You’d have enough for your family. It’s not to be lavish or retire. But just that you won’t have money on your mind?

350-500

Are you there A1?

$250k would be enough to cover all my expenses, travel as much as I'd like and save for the future.

I’m thinking around this range too personally

Probably around 200k, in a low-ish cost-of-living area. Used to be a much lower number.

Is it because your standard of living increased or cost of living?

That's a simple question but it gets complicated. My first thought was that I could live comfortably on a hundred grand a year. I could eat what I want and buy the books I want and I'd be more or less content and stress free. But there's no telling how things could change going forward. I might want to have a family or buy a house and so on. And, in a few years a hundred grand might not cover what it will today.

I feel this. When I first graduated and was making 50k, I thought 80 would be my number. Now I’m like oh 200, 300…but will it still keep climbing

250

Seems like this is the number a lot of us are thinking about

Just to not stress from paycheck to paycheck like I do, $100K. That isn't living the way I want, but it would keep us afloat and take care of any emergencies that might arise. Study was done- for just a single person in SC it takes $92K to live, most of us don't come near that number. I am $30K away from that number and have filed bankruptcy. I thought at one time $60K was good money. It's poverty money now.
