120k household income, no dependents. Life without children should always be comfortable or you're doing something wrong.

Just me and my spouse. He’s a disabled vet. We both also work full time. So our household is a little over $100k I think. It was enough for us to just be approved for our first home!

$155k household income. It’s manageable but I live in a HCOL area so it’s a bit harder to save

Honestly things are a LITTLE tight. But nothing super major. I didn’t think we were nowhere near ready but we got approved to buy a home.

370k HHI, 2 kids (3 and 1). Pretty comfortable, but feel broke bc we save a ton and daycare is $37k/yr ($712/wk). Financial stress is mostly fictional; affordability is more about what gets compromised vs can we get the money/financing.

$250k income, no dependents. We’re comfortable because we keep our living expenses low so we can max out retirement and other savings now while we’re young. Once we add in a mortgage and day care, our savings level will decrease but I think we’ll still be comfortable enough as long as we continue to live within our means.

Wife only works part time so HHI is about $60k. If there's one good thing about not having kids, it's that we can still get by with our regular-person income.

Comfortable. 800k household income. 3 kids under 8. 120k left on mortgage. No other debt. LCOL area.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

Additional Posts in Salaries in Finance

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Is anybody here a notary? And how much are you making from that? Is it a potential side-hustle?
