This post anchors you to thinking of “$100k/year” without considering that income varies by location.
- Charleston, SC has a median household income of $98,000/year.
- San Jose, CA had a median household income of $148,000/year in 2024.
- Salinas was about $91,000/year.
- Nashville, TN is about $80,000/year
- Seattle is about $118k/year.
Without taking local income into account, the $100k figure can be misleading.
