Re: Straw Poll - Salary
Cassie, did you used to be someone else? How come I don't remember seeing you before and now you are all over the place? In a nice way of course, the all over the place.
I suppose I could have a dementia and you have fallen through a hole in my synapses.

Re: Straw Poll - Salary
OK, then, I'll give you two direct answers to your original question.
scenario 1. I am a fabulously wealthy investor-class immigrant.....$100,000 would last me about a week and a half.
scenario 2. I finished my formal education without a high school diploma... $100,000 is so far out of reach that I can't even begin to comprehend what I could do with that kind of salary.
Where on a sliding scale between scenario 1 and scenario 2 do you fall? The answer to your question rather depends, doesn't it?

To be fair, the question was about a salary level only....not how it did in relation to expenses and lifestyle.

Re: Straw Poll - Salary
if OH had been offered $100k we would have been over by now, but he wasnt, the wage he was offered wasnt enough for us to live on so yes its a reasonable wage depending on your life style, as my mum used to say you cut your cloth to suit

I've been here for as long as 4 Bells. No, I wasn't someone else. (There can only be one of me, I don't think my husband could handle two )
