there is no such thing as "enough" money...there is always room for more

In order to live truly 100% happy you need to make upwards of 400k..it sucks to hear that but its the truth



No you don't, its all about managing and credit and how you use it. This thought about having lots of money to live happy is crap!

People spend money mostly on thinks they want, not what they need and that's where majority of us get into trouble.

money makes me happy...when I can blow hundreds at the bar I'm happy, when I cant I'm sad....money brings me happiness and in the odd case it dont, I'll just jump in the car and let the wind dry my tears

money = happiness, u cant be happy with no money, living like a bum, barely affording bread and water...love, health and contentment aint worth nothing, u cant pay rent/mortage with that buy food or clothes, money makes the world go round...which is why corruption and greed is so rampid

I hear ya, and I feel the same way, but we have to be realistic on what we make, unless you win money, but believe me, when you start making more money in a job you tend to work more to make more......................all depends also on your situation, for me, I own a house with two kids, not an easy thing BELIEVE ME, but you have to make plans for what you are earning and not beyond that. You can make it work the way you want, just have to be smart about it, and not worry about the other guy.

It's actually about 80k before taxes. Plus write off things here and there...it works out.

After im down schooling and such i will be satisfied with no less then 100k take home. At least in order to live in close proximty to TO. If i decide to live in a cheaper part of the country i could do with less.

Absolutely right....you never make millions working for somebody else.
Good money = 500K/year take home. The rest is middle class.

Ok, the guy who said you need 400k a year to be happy? how old are you, after 6 years of school, then all my profesional exams i will be making 125-150, now factor in a wife who will also be makeing 100k+ that is 250 a year, which makes your house worth about 600-750, which is a nice house, if you are makin 400 a year you should have a dope house, you are making sweet money not decent, and who ever posted that is probley a bag boy at no frills and just wants to look big on the internet.

ya for sure, owning is where its at...

on the tax issue, it works in steps, so your mom pays a high percentage of tax on the money above what your dad makes and so on and so on...

Im simply answering his question in my opinion. If you have a problem then I can only offer you to come to Mississauga at ANY time and bring your **** talking to me personally...Also how am I trying to act big on the internet? Am I saying I make 400k yearly? no. All I am saing is that, if your not making a high income in that range as you put it "sweet", you simply arn't making enough...Just to let you know Creditview and Britannia is where my home is..so pm if you want to come say something to my face.
