People go back & forth all the time on whether or not a $100,000 a year salary is rich, upper middle class, or middle class. Thereās a ton of nuance in that question - $100k for a single person living in Little Rock is very different from $100k for a family of 4 in San Jose. Long story short, $100k is enough to have modest, comfortable life, but you arenāt exactly living large off that salary.
That, and $100k isnāt that high of a bar to clear anymore, at least in America. Plenty of career fields have a clear path $100k, with some time, effort, and the right set of skills. It is estimated that 18% of working-age Americans currently make over $100k annually, and about 32% of Americans can expect to make at least $100k at some point in their lines.
But a $200k a year salary is almost universally considered āwell offā by most peopleās standards. The $200k club is a lot more exclusive than the $100k club; only 3% of working-age Americans make over $200k. So, Redditors who are in the $200k salary club - what do you do & how did you get there?
Last year I made over $200k doing onlyfans. This year Iām at pace to hit $300k
Took me 3 years after college to get there (not including equity). Joining a startup and moving to a hcol area grinding it out in sales got me there. Iād say anyone can do it, but itās not easy. If you desire this salary, you can get it but you will have to move to SF and work your butt off
