$20 is $20.
Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.
Depends on when you bought your house.
Always did.
Totally depends on where you live! I taught school for almost 29 years. The most I ever made tea was 50,000 a year. Had to do a second job to make up for only being payed for 10 months out of the year. Wife worked full time also for over 35 years. We managed to get by nicely and were very comfortable. Together we made around 120 grand a year. I was able to retire early. Don’t have a lot of extra to waste but still live comfortable. Cost of living is very reasonable where we live compared to big cities. Good pay around here is less than a 100 thousand a year a person. Sister in law and husband have to make 200,000 plus to do as well as us but they live in the Atlanta area. Some people can’t be happy no matter what they are making. I tried to be happy with what I could afford.
$240k+
The top 3.65%, with incomes over $200,000, earned 17.5%. Households with annual incomes from $50,000 to $75,000, 18.2% of households, earned 16.5% of all income. Households with annual incomes from $50,000 to $95,000, 28.1% of households, earned 28.8% of all income. The bottom 10.3% earned 1.06% of all income.​
Agreed, someone living in a small town in the midwest making $80k is doing well while someone making the same amount in San Fransisco is homeless living in a tent. I have made slightly over $100k a year by myself for like 15 years and consider myself upper middle class where I live. Best year for me personally was $158k and I still don't understand how everyone affords $100k boats.

Ya ain’t never happy always needing more.
I'm more interested in hearing what y'all are doing to bring in 100+, 150+, 200+ etc.

Combined income of $300K.

Look up government salaries. Sure many of them are low, but around big cities a pretty fair percentage make $100k +. When you factor in salary, housing, health, dental, military compensation is pretty good. Like any job, you don’t make the $ just starting out.
Also, look up what corporate, white collar jobs pay. Our youngest son is 25, on the verge of your first #. Statistics major, data analytics and economics minor with a 3.9 GPA.
The jobs to make big coin are out there, but in reality you need the right education, skill set and work ethic.
WOW!!!
not sure what the current market value of our home is but I would conservatively say $250k and or property tax is right around $2k.
I don’t think I could live someplace where taxes were that high. Believe me, I have no problem paying my fair share. I like having well equipped fire departments, nice roads and good schools (and I don’t even have kids) but those numbers are nuts.
I look at it as, you can have all the money in the world, but, if you don't have your health, what good is all the money. I know it's nicer to cry in a Porsche than on the seat of a bicycle. Just enjoy your own life and don't try to keep up with the who's who.
Anything more than the poverty level I'm in.

Forget living expenses. Just based on job income, I used to think good money was $100k, but now days 100 has become too common for me to consider it good. It's good, but not 'GOOD!'. Heck college grads are starting at 75. In 2024, I would say good money is 250+.
I’d be happy to even make “decent” money.
All depends on cost of housing/living where you work in my opinion. Saw somewhere in Colorado maybe Steamboat Springs that a place couldn't fill a 160K job position because of lack of available housing and the cost of it.
