What is the ideal minimum salary that you think would make you live comfortably in whichever place you happen to live right now?
i think ive read studies saying income up to 70k for a household increases happiness... but anything over 70k has no effect on happiness.
So ill go 70k household 50k single.
50k would be a great starting point I'd be happy at, but if I had a family I think it would need to be around 65k-70k
My wife and I were doing pretty well at around 65k a year with just us. We had very low rent, etc. I was able to save close to 1k a month on top of splurging on our hobbies.
Now were lolpoor until I get a decent civilian job.
But for just her and I, I would like a little over 100k net income a year.
Right now? 30k would cover everything easily. In the future I would definitely need/want considerably more, but right now I'm only responsible for myself and my meager lifestyle.
60k minimum
I'm married with a home and have too many bills.
I grew up very poor so, i know i can physically live on less and still be happy.
but, i would say if i had to drastically change my current lifestyle i would describe it as not comfortable
In my current living situation with no plans for the future? Probably $30,000 CAD.
If I want 2 kids, a house and a future, then I want to start making about $50,000 CAD yearly, and move up from there over the course of the next 10 years. There is a reason why I'm very interested in trucking and eventually becoming an O/O (gross pay with one company I have applied for is $165,000 CAD).
I'm currently making $13.50/hour and that affords me many luxuries including the my 2014 car, my Nvidia shield i just purchased, a new suit, my cell phone bill etc, etc. I'm definitely not hurting for cash.
While single I have had no problem living with near minimum wage when I have had 3 roommates. Soon this will change, however, as I am engaged, I wish to have children in the next few years, I find myself needing a new car. If I wish to provide for a family, something else will have to do. Either I'll need to find a higher paying job, work up within my current company, or find two jobs.
This is no complaint. My desire to provide better for a future family is causing me to work harder and thus be a more productive member of society. I am not afraid of working hard for a living in order to move beyond my current pay grade.
