Agreed - Around here @100K is higher than most. It all depends on your geography. I would live like a king with 300K!


I wouldn't... I would live like a miser for 2-3 years and retire to do whatever I wanted. Maybe 4 if I felt like travelling the world for a decade. :)


You sir, are smart.


It would be relative. The ideal is to work somewhere that pays top whack, save, then move to somewhere with lower average incomes. Tricky to do though.


Ok, let me change 'would' to 'could'. I'm way too frugal (my kids call it cheap) to waste.
