What is a "good" salary?

Just career hunting and salaries are a major aspect of that. What is deemed a good salary, as a ballpark figure?

I read a report that says women consider a man who makes £50,000 per annum to be a “financial success”-is that the benchmark?

Does it hold true overseas? Is $50,000 considered a jawan salary in the US?

Re: What is a "good" salary?

I'm not sure, but I think in the US, anything above $75K is considered a pretty good salary.

Six figures would be deemed an excellent salary.

Re: What is a "good" salary?

In US 50K is moderate, but an OK salary. I don't know about girls' standards.

However 70K is definetely a handsome income for a small family.

For a lush mansion and fleet of SUVs and sport cars, 100K is the benchmark.

These are my own observations.

Re: What is a "good" salary?

Exactly. It might be possible in some place such as N. Dakota, or Montana where your neighbors are like 20 miles away, but in the urban world of USA, it's highly unlikely to have all that with just $100K.

If you compared yourself to the average guy 50k is a lot of money...unless you wanted an apartment in the best area you could afford a place on 50k no problem...where does she want a place and how big?...average wage is 18k so 50 is doing pretty well...but each person has their own definition of whats good i suppose so your daughters stnadards are higher than 55k...i can say id be happy with what shes earning...
