What is considered a "good" salary?

[intruder]

Good to me would be $130K
Decent is about $85K

Anything below $80K is just meh... and that in the South. If you live in the North East and make less than $75K you are basically poor and should apply for government assistance

This is not the place to ask such a question

But as others have stated, that's a very personal questions based on several factors like:

- Location
- How you grew up and your relationship to money
- What is important to you
- Kids, spouse, debt, etc.
- Important extras for you personally i.e. vacation, hobbies, charity, etc.

Honestly, I think people who think in terms of salary are short-sighted, but that makes up the majority in America, which is why so many were so hurt when they lost their jobs over the last few years.

It's not about how much you make....it's not even about how much you keep....it's about how you use the money you make to reach your goals.

You can make $100K in Mississippi and still be no closer to having the desired life that you want financially. Or you can make $50K in Boston and be independent.

Depends on location like other have said
If you really wanna be comfortable (home, nice whip, vacations, stacks in the bank)
I'll say 70K

It's not about how much you make, but about how much you save and live your life debt free....

Im in dallas...make roughly 75 give or take a couple thousand with OT and bonuses. Its really all about how much debt you got and the lifestyle you want to live [portray]. I live in whats considered one of the nicest areas in the city but for the first couple of months i was here I couldnt do much cuz of rent cost. Im eating now but it took a while to adjust my spending, fix some of the debt i had (CC, student loans)

I know people who make 45k and travel all the time. and i know people who make 80+ who cant afford to leave the house. you know.

I think the most important thing is to never get complacent and always try to move forward. Dont use others as a barometer for yourself. I got a friend who does that, always wants to talk about how much i bring home every two weeks and compare, talk about what saves every month etc etc. Sometime I inflate my numbers just cause it eats him up inside Dont be that guy bruh. Just try to avoid debt and enjoy life

If it ain't 200k, it's not worth it
