I’ve been chewing on this for a few days now:

What non numerical amount, accounting for any inflation, should your salary be so that you have pride in your worth per hour?

(Please note this isn’t a topic where I’m arguing for a certain minimum wage. I’m simply wondering which minimum amount would make me feel content.)

Here’s the one I’m currently at:

After 15-20 minutes of work, I should have enough money to walk into any average fast food joint and order a meal. That would be about $5-$8.

That would put my hourly wage at $24-$32. Annual salary would be $48,000-$64,000, assuming a 40 hour work week and 50 weeks/yr worked.

Kind of blows my mind that this annual salary I came to isn’t even that high!

If I love what I do, it isn’t really work, and in that case I’d settle for $250,000/year.

Question: Is $100K a large amount of money now-a-days?

same here, I make a decent wage but now, especially as I near the end of my career, I get as much satisfaction out of doing what I do very well as anything

try again, it has always been at minimum an hours work = cost of lunch and 25% of your income is taken taxes so one day of the week is just to cover your taxes

I don’t understand how someone could live on anything less than $100,000/year. Seems impossible.
