I don’t make 100k, but me and my fiance make about 140k combined and that gets us a 1BR apartment in North Chicago and we share a car. We live better than when we each made about $40k but six figures isn’t what it used to be.
I get that, my wife works in education and makes minimum wage. People are underpaid and that sucks. Doesn’t change the fact that inflation sucks too.
I remember when 40k was a decent living wage and it wasn’t that long ago. 100k ain’t CEO money tho. It’s can’t afford a house and living check to check when you have more than 2 kids money. Hell, probably is with only 2 kids. Forget about a college fund.
Honestly, today, with a family, house, car, etc… 100k isn’t as much as it sounds.
Dog I make less than 40k, it’s exactly what it sounds like.

$250-$300k is the new $100k from the 90’s imo. It’s rough out here.
