I used to live off 150k in Manhattan and it was comfortable for someone in their mid twenties. If I continued to be single, would need 200k+ and if married 500k+

I live in London and earn a comfortable enough salary as it is. Ideally though, I would like to earn in the region of £60K+. Got no kids but I'll eventually have to pay for a divorce plus I need a new car and want to leave the city within the next few years.

Man fukk that...if im making less than 6 figures by the time i hit 30 then ill consider myself a failure (im 23 now).

Comfortable to me is making at least 20K a week....but ill settle for 10K a week to begin with. This isnt some fantasy to me because i grew up with motherfukkers making 80K a month at 21 just off affiliate marketing.

My best friend's dad just bought a 20 million dollar home in chateu elan....their last house was a 12 million dollar house in chateu elan..

my little sisters god father owns 500 acres in tampa that he uses strictly for hunting. thats on top of his plane and his fishing boat

So all my life ive been fortunate to be surrounded by wealth, and ive learned a lot from them. if you cant make 100k a year in america at some point in your life, then your doing it wrong

but thats just me

This nikka gets it. once you hang around people with money your definition of comfortable changes.

How much are you making right now? But you have to realize that this isn't realistic for most people or our country would not be able to operate as it is. You're talking from an extremely privileged point of view.

With that said, I'm 22 now and high 6 figures is probably necessary for me given loan debt and everything.

What in THE HELL is ya'lls definition of comfortable... If you live in NY or something, Okay. Then I can understand the higher numbers. But if you have any financial sense and you live down south, a single, no kids income of 40-50K should be comfortable quite comfortable.

I make like 43K (fiance' makes like 47K and gets a 5k raise next month) and I don't have any worries.... The only reason I have debt (other than salliemae) is because I'm getting married in like a month and we've been spending money on stuff for that. But that will all be gone because we're not registering... we're doing a "wishing well" (cash) and we're having almost 300 people at the wedding. :shaq:

All I have to pay are the normal bills like rent ($850), electric, cable/internet/phone, cell phone, insurance...

I'm paying off her engagement ring/wedding band (only have like $600 left so it will be paid off in two months)

I pay my student loans every month (like $200)... and I pay down my credit card debt every month, which once again will be paid off after the wedding, and I still have money left over to what I want. We went to Vegas for new year's, we're going to DR for our honeymoon, and I'm going to NY for Labor Day (Gotta see all my Guyanese folk at Juve!)... And going to probably two Giants games (ATL and Carolina)....

My girl just got a new car and my car is paid off, and we're planning on moving into a house within the next year (you can get a 4/5 bedroom 2700+ sqft for like 175K in the suburbs of ATL) .... :yeshrug:

Oh yea.... and I still add to my 401K (6% match) and my investment account every month. :takedat:

wtf are ya'll doing if you need 150K to live comfortably as a single person. My parents don't even break 250K on a consistent basis and they're living in a 5 bedroom house with 3 kids (the first 3 are grown now), my pops just got a hummer, my mom just got an Acura crossover, and they have 6 figures and counting saved up, they travel all the time, and they give 10% in tithes religiously :krs:

So what are ya'll doing with all this money?
