A question like this could be an intro to a shady MLM pitch. Break the ice, get the conversation going and gain a sense of the range of numbers to make up for earnings examples.

$13k/yr post tax, just depends on how much work I'd have to do for it

I reckon I'd have severely diminishing returns past 6 figures, and I would (and do) trade income for less hours with a better work environment well before that.

I'd be happy with 50k SEK/month after tax with the current inflation.

10,000,000 per year. I could stop working after 1 year and live off the interest and never have to worry about money again.

Happy as in "all absolutely necessary for survival bills are getting paid on time, all outstanding debts are getting paid down regularly, and I can afford to eat at a restaurant slightly above fast food grade once a month or so?"

$308,740/yr for the first year would do it.

After that I could probably look at halving the salary and live, if not comfortably, at least without constant worry.

Maybe start putting something away so I can retire before I hit 70.

Happiness doesn't come from money, but it sure would reduce stress.

I make just over 6 figures (USD) and I'm happy with my salary. Although I am actually underpaid in my field for my experience and don't absolutely love my job, so really I should probably find something else.

I would be much happier with around 140k though.

It isn't just the salary though. I am convinced that there is enough wealth to go around so nobody has to live in fear any more.

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

Anything over $100k is plenty to live, travel, and invest with if you don't plan on having kids. There's a point where it's time and experiences that are more valuable than the money, so I'd prefer fewer working hours or more engaging work than simply just salary increases. I'm certainly happy to receive bonuses and raises, but as an engineer who has never made under $100k/yr the money doesn't change anything about the way I live and enjoy life (note that I don't have expensive tastes and carefully watch for lifestyle creep).

5k€ (equivalent, inflation adjusted), per month

[-] BadActorLol@talk.macstack.net 2 points 6 months ago

300 million per week

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I’m doing pretty good with $47k income right now. I would like to have a little more so I can grow my savings faster.

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

$80,000 / yr before taxes

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago
[-] Behaviorbabe@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

I could make what I have now if I just had a single family home with an acre for my kids to live in when I’m dead. That’s it.
