What is good money?

[Skippy909]

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?

[BP in ME]

I wouldn't get out of bed for less than 7 figures

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.

[BassinPaPaw]

100k I would say is fair in my neck of the woods.

[JAZII]

25K over median income for the area.

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

[berudd]

25K over median income for the area.

That puts it at about 62k in my area.

[avidbasser]

You need to be at $100K+ around here

[ProVle]

Do not quit looking up!

[Caymas ProXS]

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

[Milehibird]

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.

Dam I’m never going to make good money.

[janky]

25K over median income for the area.

That would be roughly $80k here.

[H2O_Fowl]

Depends on several things. Cost of living is the biggest that comes to mind. If you make 50K a year in some small Kansas town you’re probably doing ok. Make 100k in that same town and you are very wealthy. That’s a question that has several answers none of which are wrong.

How much money is enough to make every American happy?
Just a little bit more

25K over median income for the area.

I feel better about myself already. Median income for my city is $27K...for the state, it's $30K.

[n2ratfishin]

31K median here, and I don't consider 56K "good money". Our areas household median is right at 56K a year. 100K a year here starts being good money.

An hour down the road in Nashville they say a 51K a year income will allow you to pay rent on a one bedroom and pay basic bills. This question is going to depend on your location.

[BigFishSteve]

Too broad of a question. Varies too much by area.

[boneil]

If you have to ask, then you're not making good money.

I'm gonna go with, if you max out SS before the end of the year you make good money. Do you measure a raise by an hourly rate, or by $10Ks?

[bassfisher444]

I make at least 25K over median income for my area and paid cash for all my boats and vehicles, am I up to BBC standards?
