Six Figure Income

FJohnny said:

To summarize, a question was asked about your opinion on a situation. If you guess the wrong answer, you get mocked for being too emotional, only applying the answer to your own situation or not understanding the question.

Hmmm....this sounds like what I go through when the wife asks my opinion and I don't guess what she already knows I should have answered if I had even the slightest shred of common sense. Stuff like 'What do you want to have for dinner tonight' or 'Do I look good in this?' or 'What do you think a high six figure income is?'

You read the word "thought" in the question, and immediately filled your head with all kinds of qualifiers. You were given no other information. The question wasn't, "what do you consider a high six figure income, AND WHY?"

Simply answer the question that was asked.

Someone has to be writing a paper on this. Or is it a $1 bet? Duke and Duke? What are the boys from the other board saying about this 13 page folly? Is there an over under on how long it will go?

The question isn't:

1.) What's a good salary
2.) What can you live off of
3.) Which part of the country has higher costs of living
4.) Who's on third

The question is, "what do you consider a HIGH six figure yearly income?"

lol I don’t think close minded. So I won’t give a close minded answer.

Having money and being wealthy is relative to your ability to save and spend. If you spend every dime you have on goods, services and taxes, then it doesn't matter if you make $14,000 per year, or $1.4mm per year. Sure, you will have a lot more shit, but you are still on the knifes edge of being broke as a joke.

Ha ha. Good advice. Except it's clear from the answers that it's not that simple, is it?

Some said to use math and advocated 500 K as the dividing line. But that's not right, is it? 6 figures starts at 100K and goes to 999,999. A 900K interval. So the average 6 figure (and median, for that matter) is 100 + (900/2) = 550K as the break point between high and low 6 figure number. Not simple!

But it's income in the question. Not math.

Take a hypothetical guy I know well. Hs first real job pays $30K/yr. He can't even imagine that giant amount being spendable it's so huge. During his career he at times tops a mill a year but wishes for more. Then he retires and again thinks any 6 figure is high so anything over 100K is high 6 figures.

So, I think 650K+ is high but the correct answer is really 'all of the above'.

Hope guys in other forums aren't reading this Bullshit. We look weird if they are.

I’m still lost at how someone can consider anything less that 700,000 high six figures.

What is the actual point for the conversation?

The house I want is listed for $800,000.00
I'll make a high 6 figure offer, $250,000.00

I think maybe SVTP isn't as full of ballers as we all were lead to believe.
