Re: How Much Would I Have To Make?
[ QUOTE ]
However, you are talking about taking a year (or maybe two) after school. People do all sorts of stuff (travel, f around with a "fun" job, etc.) between school and starting their "real" life (whatever that means). You just need to make enough money such that you won't be strapped at the end of the year (or two) and can then make a good decision wrt finding a job, getting more schooling, etc. For your age, 200k seems plenty for that, even in NYC.

This is a more succinct statement of what I said above. By your standard ("just need to make enough money such that you won't be strapped at the end of the year (or two)"), and even though NY is very expensive, I think the number is much lower. With no college loans to repay, sthief could easily make do with half that $200K amount (post-grads get by here with much less than that).
