$85k a year is surely enough to live off without working?
I'm in the UK, if I could earn a guaranteed £40k a year without working I'd be set for life and would have a pretty great life! That's would give me close to twice the national average salary.
£80k a year would put you into the tiny percent of top earners.
- boyband6666 6y agoI agree it is plenty but remembering it is a household income I suspect, so yes is a very nice life, without being silly.
- bluedevil2k 6y agoDon’t forget in America he needs to spend $12k a year on health care. And that’s like a minimum, last time I checked Obamacare, those kind of plans had $8-10k max out of pocket too.
- M2Ys4U 6y agoSo even with health insurance deducted, that still works out, with current exchange rates, at £63k, which is quite a high income - 95th percentile in the UK income distribution after tax.
