What's a good salary for a man in this area?

[Anonymous]

DH and I make about $320k combined and we each earn roughly half of that. I feel like we each earn a good salary and we are comfortable and can even afford some luxuries.

$250k is fine. And I don't feel like I need to do anything in particular to keep up my end of the bargain. Meaning i don't feel pressure to look a certain way or maintain our social schedules. I don't have to do his laundry or manage the household beyond the 50/50 split. I also don't bell like I need to work.

I make a little over 300 at 40 years old and I wouldn't date any of you washed up wrinkle bags. I only date under 28

The delusion of some of these career married hags is quite amusing

Here I was ready to celebrate my new FIRREA salary, 159K, a huge bump for me. Why do women in DMV view gov workers as losers? I guess I should have gone to law school to have a chance.

I make 150 base / 120-150 in RSU/bonus in late 20’s (big tech). I don’t mind women who care a lot about a man’s income, but that’s because I don’t look that great.

I’m a director in big tech. I have lots of you on my team. You all are smart and usually have a great sense of humor. You are kind and caring and you tend to value education. You are the whole package, you just need a bit of tidying up. Luckily that pretty easy to do. A good haircut, some manscaping, a trip to the dept store with a personal shopper and the women will be flocking to you.

$100k ish

Some women are looking more for $175-200+ with hopes they can be a SAHM.

Good is subjective. It’s about being on the same page about what lifestyle you want (or would be willing to compromise on) and how you plan to attain it together- whether income is fairly evenly split, skewed, or one person earns it all.

LOL. What depths of Alabama are you posting from? 175-200k is not enough to be a SAHM and forgo ones earnings in any HCOL area. I would only seriously consider it if my spouse was making over 500K- an income level we are not even at quite yet with both of us in the workforce. The absolute bare minimum would be 350/400k and that would assuming kids go to public schools.

If you have to ask you can’t afford it.

That’s fewer than 10% of the guys in this area. What’s your plan?

Where do you find this data?

The above poster said 200K is the minimum for a man... HERE IS THE DATA:

In 2020:

Only 10% of men make over 150K (NOTE: men of ALL ages not necessarily men in your preferred age range)
Only 5% of men make over 200K

BY AGE: at 30 only 1% are making over 200K at 40 around 3% are making over 200K at 50 only 5% make over 200K at 60 only 3% are making over 200K

Therefore; you are most likely looking for a dude in his 50s and overall that is only about 5% of the overall population and that includes the ones that are already married.

Bottom line, 200K is unrealistic for most women.
