[quote=Anonymous]My guess is you feel poor because you feel like you should have a much more extravagant lifestyle for making a quarter of a million dollars, but you don't. And a big part of that is taxes take a huge hit. Start tracking your transactions (there's a ton of good ones Empower, YNAB - paid, etc) and see if you are happy with your spending categories. If not see if you can cut any categories that aren't bringing you joy. $100k in income used to be "making it". If you look at an inflation calculator, $100k in 1980 has the same buying power of $381k today. Which means you need to be making $400k to be "making it" in the same way.[/quote]
