What's your ideal salary to live comfortably?

<p>I’m going to major in materials engineering, and I think I’ll want to move back to the bay area, so at least 100k would be nice. However, I would also ideally want to start a successful company and make a lot more money than that.</p>

<p>I could live comfortably making around $60,000 a year. My family makes a lot less, so yes, that would be a nice amount.</p>

<p>My ideal salary would be around 100,000 with a family.</p>

<p>I would like to make atleast $150,000 - $200,000 (not including the salary of a spouse). Of course, I’ll probably start out making $100,000 - $110,000 and then I’ll have to work my way up to the bigger numbers.</p>

<p>^LOL what job starts you at 100k? Engineering doesn’t even start at 100k. Maybe IB, though that would be a bit higher.</p>

<p>Haha I don’t have a dream salary… since I’m so sheltered I don’t know how much I would need to earn for my desired lifestyle. I think it also really depends on the cost of living of where I live.</p>
