Is your happiness then pretty much unchanged from $55k to $50k? $50k to $46k? $46k to $42k? $42k to $38k? $38k to $35k? I think there's something wrong here.

Obviously there is a difference between $60k and $36k. For myself there would be a difference but not a major one but in this respect I realize I am an outlier.

Also, in these discussions I'm assuming we are talking about someone with no hope of ever making real money. I'm basically thinking a typical public servant who this is their life for ever.

I don't level. Like I said I realize that I am an outlier on this one.

quality of your life isn't drastically different between 36k vs 60k IMO

EDIT: other than being able to retire earlier

1. We are talking about Henry here, which means his last statement is false or everything about him is false.

2. This is a terrible blanket statement. GL living in NYC with $36k compared to Bloomington.

There is a huge difference between $36k and $60k and less of a difference between $100k and $150k in most cases.

There is a huge difference in quality of life between 60k and 36k. The extra money will be beneficial in a very noticeable way in almost all aspects of your life (accomodations, vehicle/ transport / social life / disposible income). I can't even fathom how someone can say elsewise.

I once read that your odds of winning one of the big multi state lotteries are essentially the same whether you purchase a ticket or not due to the documented times of lottery winners reporting they found their lost ticket in the garbage, on the ground, etc.

LT22 · 09-10-2011, 08:39 PM

you guys must have some sick living expenses if you think you can't live a good life on 36k edit: it REALLY tilts me when married people act like they can't live off 2 x 30k=60k. wtf

edit 2: I forgot we live in a society that does not like to save, but thinks it's proper to spend every penny and take out loans to spend even more.

GoCubsGo · 09-10-2011, 08:40 PM

I imagine that the difference between 36k and 60k is huge. If it were my motivation, I could probably put up the facade that I had as much $ as Henry if I were making 60k. That's really quite a bit if you're a single guy...I actually don't know how people could spend that much.

This is my good friends brother...Every time I've hung out with him or his brother and we stop off for gas or food they always buy lotto tickets. Don't think they thought much since their dad makes tens of millions a year. Ive been to their house too. Can you say ****ing movie theatre in their house? Jesus Christ.

You can't. Unless your idea of good living is a below average home and never doing anything.

Also kids are expensive. Not that I have any but most married couples do end up with them.

Kids seriously cost like 500k+ each to raise to 18. However, I think that this is the budget route... as in Easy Mac for dinner every other night and shoes from Payless.

Any time I think I want a kid I think, "hmmmm... Ferrari or a child?" I think we all know the answer to that one.
