I'm 24 and feel like I've won at life with a $110k salary I can't believe it, and I have to share this somewhere.
I'm 24 and I seriously feel like I've found life's cheat code. I come from a humble family with 4 siblings, so my idea of being rich was making about $60k a year.
I just accepted a remote dev job with a salary of $110k plus bonus. I have no student debt. I have a decent-sized house in a quiet city, and the mortgage is only $850. After paying all my bills, I have about $2500 left over each month to do whatever I want with.
My mind is short-circuiting trying to process how much money this is.
First thing, I'm going to build a solid emergency fund. After that, I have a few things I want to do, like renovating the kitchen and getting a new washer and dryer. Other than that, I'll start investing the money and maybe enjoy some nice coffee and a few vacations. I'm naturally a frugal person, so this amount will feel like an insane fortune.
I understand it's not 'buy a yacht' rich, especially with today's prices, but the feeling itself is crazy. It's unreal.
