    What is good money?

    How much does a guy have to earn to make “good money”? I know it depends on where you live, but on average what would you fellas say?

    7 figures would be nice. I’d settle for peace.

    You know what they say, " if you can't make more, spend less" or at least live within your means. Peace on Earth would be priceless !

    I think it depends on upbringing as well, location, cost of living etc. In this area and with my “working class” upbringing I think like 100k a year is when you can start saying you make good money.

    You are lowballing it a bit. $56k is the median income in Morrisville, NC.

    Good money is any amount that Uncle Sam keeps his filthy nose & hands out of.

    I'd say GOOD money is at least 30-50% over the median FAMILY household income for a single person. If you can make the median household income by yourself, you're doing ok. If you can exceed that by yourself, you are doing well. For me, median household income is $120k. I would be happy to make about $130k.
