@budgeters_anonymous: $200k is about $12,500/mo after taxes. You’d be surprised how quickly that gets chewed up if you’re living responsibly and investing 20%. #finance101 #financetips #finances

Twelve five a month going out faster than you'd think is such a wake-up call. Investing 20% while living responsibly is exactly the discipline that builds real wealth. Great breakdown.

$200k in the South is different from than 200k in Seattle or California…

I make 380k my self in a cheap area to live drive 20 year old Toyota. Shop at costco buy uniqlo and get a few custom blazers in hk and 3 international vacays with the fam in economy. Middle class really is the best zone I can savor luxuries but still have to work to live like most everyone.

The raise felt amazing for exactly 11 days. Then the new normal ate it. Your brain doesn't want more money, it wants more *increase*

trick is to make the 200k and be excited to get all of this vs what 50k gets you. I grew up poor, the life I have now is amazing! very happy

We have to stop acting like a dollar is what what matters. The location matters way more than the salary. $200k a year in Alabama and you’re absolutely living on the high end.

And it means there’s food on the table we can fix emergency problems, our kids are safe, and our backs are warm. The society needs to get over the obsession with luxury and be grateful for what we have. The inflation is a crippling issue but not bc those making $200K can’t wear Gucci but bc people making $40K can’t eat.

So sad. If you told me as a kid I would be making $200k/year as a household income, I would have said, 2 doctors?
