Feel good beating the income needed in california by working in tech But do you agree with these numbers https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/26/the-salary-it-takes-to-be-considered-rich-in-every-state.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard #salarycomparison #compensation # money
You can’t disagree with statistics lol. If they say you need that much salary to be in top 5%, that’s how much you need. If you _feel_ rich with that salary- that’s another question
1. Just link the source: https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/wealth/how-much-definition-of-rich-has-changed-in-every-state/ 2. Average income is LOL, especially as you narrow the window for top n% as the outliers make up a larger and larger proportion of the data The bls doesn't expose median on a percentile level which is dumb imo, if they have the raw (anonymized) data though we could diy but I doubt it
average income of the top 5% is a bad measure but I agree with the results
Right, it should be median 5%
Prolly knocking 100k off those #’s would still feel rich, esp after taxes
LOL you cannot become rich from salary unless you’re getting 10M+/yr which is pretty much impossible. Even if you make 1M/yr, you'll be lucky to save a measly few hundred k per year after taxes and expenses. when are you gonna become "rich" at that rate 😂
What is rich?
You are rich if you can spend lavishly without any worries. At least 50M
You know the data is legit when Connecticut top 5% is higher than California top 5%. 🤡
Bro go back to your hole you fat fingered slob
Someone’s mad
