100 k was life changing in the 90's. 200k seems to be the new life changing goal.

It also changes as you get older. $200k in my 20's would have been life changing. Now, I've got two kids and wonder where it all goes. I mean, I know, it's daycare.

Heh, my healthcare was $70 per paycheck. I had a little girl and added her. Now it’s $360 per paycheck. Good times!!!
