"comfortable" is subjective and varies from person to person. A homeless person can be comfortable. Someone making minimum wage can be comfortable.

In a society that's consumer driven, a lot of people are quick to give their money away as soon as they make it. A lot of people that make 100k and up carry massive amounts of debt in the form of credit cards, mortgages, car notes etc. When I was making $13 an hour I was more content because they couldn't afford shyt. I was happen driving an old as car that got me from point a to b. When I was making 60k a year, I lived the frugal life until my car kept breaking down, and I realized I made enough to finance something. At 80k a year I only wanted to drive new shyt so I started leasing. Then you start to upgrade material shyt that you never cared about before.

To say that 100k a year will change everyone's life and shyt will automatically be sweet is misleading.

Income creep is definitely real. It's a lot of people making 60k/70k but outwardly trying to live a 100k lifestyle that's why one bad emergency and they're taking out a payday loan. COVID should have been a lesson to trim some of the fat off of unnecessary expenses. I remember a convo with a chic and she was pre-approved for a 524k home. I told her 275-325k is the sweet spot so of course she got a house for 480k then was upset that her mortgage went up due to taxes and insurance and it was more than she could afford....smh

Thecoli.com finds reality hard to believe…more at 6

I can damn near guarantee a large percentage of that percentage is from either a east coast large city or a west coast large city.

Salaries tend to reflect the cost of living in areas,with of course their being outliers.

100k in nyc ain't shyt.

Less than 10% of residents in NYC make 100k or more. What gives?

I find that extremely hard to believe,imma need to see where those numbers come from.

Also I need to see a breakdown of where those black folk making over 100k are located.

Damn near every black person I interact with socially out here is doing between 90k and 120k,as should pretty much be expected considering the cost of living in nyc and the fact that they are all over 40.

Depending on what this firm says, I might move to Orange county and increase my compensation.
The range they offer is $100k - $186k for IC's.

At that point, I might put my Master's degree on hold tbh.
They already told me $140k is a very real possibility.
And when I move my ass over there, I'm hunting for the cheapest apartment.

Idk I'm not even supposed to be where I'm at, like I thank my lucky stars this shyt even happened tbh.
I've spoken of aspects of my story on here but per the statistics and where my family is from
the fact I can even type what I'm typing right now from the very job that pays me that $100k is crazy as fukk.

I gotta cinderella man ass story in real life.

From this year's filing:

I dont really think people are lying on here and if they are, it is not that many.

I’m a pharmacist

It’s rare but I don’t get why people on here make it seem like a website with a bunch of young professionals on it aren’t making 6figs. That’s why we give yall our perspective on it
