I wish there was an equation for that, like the one that tells you what's a good average age for a dating partner for you.

@Dan193 what do you think you need to make a year to live life like you want to?

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@Tryingtofindabalance 100k

Tryingtofindabalance · 36-40, M

@Dan193 before or after taxes?

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@Tryingtofindabalance after

Tryingtofindabalance · 36-40, M

@Dan193 so you need to find a job that pays around what $175,000yr?

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@Tryingtofindabalance if I made that much money, there's no way I'd give away 75k to taxes, I'd just spend most of it before the year is over.

@Dan193 as a higher wage earner… you’d be surprised how much your paying out in takes… to take home 100,000 you probably need to make close to 150-175k a year

@Tryingtofindabalance Idk man 100k would be enough for me to live life the way I want to, but when there is talk about making 175k a year, I'd try to write off as much as I can. That's a lot of money to just let to go away.

@Tryingtofindabalance At $175k you might not clear $100k if you’re single. If you’re married, you would.
