    Honestly, today, with a family, house, car, etc… 100k isn’t as much as it sounds.

        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.

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