100 fucking million a month. I want it all.

$80,000 / yr before taxes

I eat a lot of french fries. So maybe about 50lbs annually.

Enough that I'm not completely broke before my next paycheck.
Seriously, that's all it would take for me to be happy, a little bit of disposable income.

[-] june@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

140k lets me start getting ahead properly and even start thinking about retirement.

200K so I'd be able to purchase a decent flat

The one I'm on is fine. I dont need more money to be happy. Safety and security matters a shitload more than material stuff, and unfortunately money doesnt guarantee those without a bunch of other lifestyle compromises

Honestly, I'd like to double mine (to about $400-500k AUD pa) and only work 40% meaning I'd be on about 175-ish.... and it'd be fine. Sadly I can't see it happening any time soon.

Edit: I know I'm doing well, but I find work super draining and would love to work part-time.

At current purchasing power, about 120k. Anything beyond that becomes nice to have, anything below and you're giving something up.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

I'm already in the area of diminishing returns, where none of my daily problems are really money related. To have any significant impact I'd probably have to double my salary, so I could afford exotic cars and stuff like that.

I don't care about the income. It's the costs are killing me. If I could live without costs, that'd make me happy.
