120k in some places is more than 150k in others. It is relative to location
as well. You are right that 140k might not be a lot in New York, but 120k
is quite a lot in some other areas where it is still very achievable.
I will say that if anyone makes 200k per family and don't have any leftover,
then it is a combination of an expensive area and not being able to say no
to things they do not need.
Mangaing your money properly is more key than how much you make. It is not
about how much you make but more about how much you save.
Everyone has to keep learning in life if they want to reach or stay on top.
This is no different.
