Anything below this is not a life in my view.

so most school-teachers and nurses in this country are not living 'a life'.


We're not talking minimum-wage here and that someone should be able to survive on $6/hr from McDonalds or Wal-Mart or as a janitor.

We're talking 'real' professions (as it were) where the typical salary is $50k or less....and we have people saying "it's not a life" or "I can't see how anyone can really survive on less" and things like that.


I think that if you use $100k/yr as a cut-off we are probably looking at less than 10% of the world's population...and I suspect less than 5%.


I've never made $100k in a year before.
I'm 34 years-old.
I don't believe I fall into the category of 'no life'.
