$100,000 salary sounds rich.


Until you see the math.
Take home after tax: $5,800/mo
Rent: $2,200
Car payment: $450
Insurance: $430
Groceries: $600
Student loan: $400
Utilities: $200
Gas: $180
Total: $4,460
Left over: $1,340
For savings.
Emergencies.
Retirement.
Everything else life throws at you.
$100,000 a year.
$1,340 a month of breathing room.
That’s not rich.
That’s one emergency away from broke.
