Making a $100,000 a year isn't as special as most make it seem on here.

[Stuntone]

Unless you continue to be frugal and spend like you're only making 50-60k.

When I first moved to the DMV and was making 40k -50k, I thought making 100k would be awesome. And it was initally. I almost cried when I got a job taking me from 64k to 99k. The thing about 50k, it keeps you grounded and thifty if you're smart. When most people get that big pay increase, they buy a new house and car. More bills, more headaches. Eating out and shopping a lot, have them living tighter and more stress than they where when they were making 50k. Even worse than that, you can afford to lose your job and take a pay cuts. It's a major burden to maintain a 100k in most fields. And no one wants to go backwards in life.

The reason I've done well is because I have the same car and house I had when I was make 64k, 5 years ago. Learn to live below your means folks. Don't rush out and splurge when you get that money. Your lifestyle really doesn't upgrade until you've made good money for a good while. The people who really have it, have had it wisely for decades.

@bdizzle

not sure why you @ me, but I agree even though all I read was the title. After taxes (assuming your single) 100k is about 5k/mo. Depending on where you live and if you have any debts (CC, student loans, car note, etc) you'll only be looking to save maybe a g or 2 after taxes. I know that sounds like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, it really isn't. One big medical bill or family emergency and you're broke. And that's without you balling out, going on trips, and trying to live like what you think 100k person should live.

I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible. I spend a portion on my life poor as fukk and I'd prefer not to ever experience that shyt again

I hit 6 figures two years ago (had a nice bonus, no ducktales). I was miserable cause of other shyt tho.

I live frugally tho. Money just piles up...

@Stuntone for copping a car a other pointless lavish shyt. Only thing I will say is that its nice to travel abroad and not worry about bread.

The only downside is that my homies aint makin as much. If they did life would be

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

I could easily blow through 100 k. But I can also live off much less than that. I'm 28 so if I ever get rich I don't think imma stunt.

Cosign, that's the key. Unless your a billionaire with damn near limitless money, you'll still have to budget and save.

My first promotion I bought a suv (because my family was growing)
But every other promotion i bought a house... so it's not bad- as long as your money is doing something productive

 

[Kasino416]

so no ones going to say anything about "making a $100,000"? its "making $100,000", or "making a hundred thousand."
