6 figures covers $100k to $999,999. Your lifestyle will determine if $100k is a lot or not. Idk how you managed to make being middle class sound like a bad thing when most of the nation is a job loss away from poverty. Nobody I know making $100k+ is downplaying making $100k.
$30k & $200k are two different ends of the spectrum. $200k most likely puts you at upper management/executive level & comes with perks, benefits, & bonuses that you can’t fathom to think about, having to hustle up $30k. The comparisons needs to be more logical.
Yeah a majority of the people in that area work from home. The garages are filled with G-Wagons, Range Rovers, & Lambo trucks as their errand cars with their Ferrari’s, Astons, and McLaren’s parked other side as their weekend cars.
Hate when millionaires ask these kinda questions. Especially if they weren’t born in to wealth. You know from experience what most people are stressing about.
