People earning just over that ‘magic number’ often feel stretched too. The cost of living hits hard, and salaries that seem high on paper don’t always translate to financial comfort in real life

I remember a friend struggling with his 100k salary and he was basically taking care of a bunch of other people who couldn’t afford bills, car repairs, rent… that sort of thing

I would be curious to what their financial decisions were. They may also be on the younger side and still paying for kids etc. Having a modest mortgage at 4.5%, no credit card debt or auto loans makes a world of difference. You have to have make good decisions or you are screwed
