So imagine this: three companies offer you the exact same job, but with three different salaries. Option A: $55,000 🤷♂️Option B: $74,000 👍Option C: $215,000 🤯
Obviously, most of us would grab the $215K and never look back . . . but apparently, Americans have spoken, and the “perfect” salary is $74,000.
A new report found that’s the sweet spot where the average person says they’d feel comfortable and able to make ends meet. Not filthy rich, not broke—just good. 😌
Of course, not everyone agrees. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans (19%) say they’d need at least $100K 💵 to be happy. And about HALF of workers admit they should be making more money to keep up with their lifestyle. Around 24% even flat-out said they’re “unhappy” with their paycheck 😤
So what’s the solution? A whole lot of hustling. 💼👉 69% of Americans are actively looking for ways to bring in extra income.👉 32% are interested in starting a side hustle.👉 Nearly 30% already have one.
Moral of the story: $74,000 might sound “perfect” . . . but with everything getting more expensive 🛒📈, maybe perfection costs a little more than it used to.
