Why do you consider a good annual income?

If I was an accountant, $200k would be a great annual income - because I would be able to earn at least that for my entire working career.
Internet marketing, however, is tumultuous. It can all end very quickly, depending on Googles mood.
Therefore, I need to apply a risk premium to the income, and take the view that it's worth a 3rd of a steady and dependable lifelong income.
Therefore, I wouldnt still be at it without a set of numbers that considers the above.

However - in the same way that the volatility makes the income worth less in my opinion, the lifestyle makes the income more valuable than earning that income by 'working' for it - as an accountant, for example.
 
Enough for me to pay all bills, buy all presents, attend all social events, contribute to chosen charities, persue what I want to do in life and business, explore my interests in new ideas, and invest for my potential Childrens future.
 
Have you accounted for the high percentage of bullshitters on forums? The majority of people here make between nothing and not much.

I agree with Micky,

The amusing thing about these 'how much do you earn?' type of threads is that it ends up with a load of dreamers wishing they earned the money that the bullshitters pretend they earn.
 
a good income for me is 10k, that mean 834 for a month, now i get around 300$ so 834 will be a 278% increse. Anyway let's forget the dreams and wish you all a Happy New Year!
 
For me less then 50k year is bad income and you should seriously think how to improve it, 50k and more enough to live, 100 k is good one, over 100k year I can call as IM success.
 
Living in the US can be expensive depending on where you want to live. I would like to think to be comfortable a nice 50k-100k a year would be great but to make IM your full time job would be great to accomplish!
 
That is not even benefit money in the UK.

Same here and it's Slovenia with the highest unemployment rate and completely screwed up system.

1k$ per day seems solid if that's the profit after all taxes.

I'd day $1k USD per day :) that's be a killing!

It is interesting to see the difference between countries, and even states.
 
This is a great thread as I often wondered what people thought. Obviously we've got inflated ideas since we're in the making bank business.

I asked a bunch of random people I met at a bar this question one time, just to see what people thought was good. I was getting an average of $75k a year as good.

Personally I think over $500k is a good income.

Well it comes down to
1) What would you need to survive
2) What you could live comfortably and enjoyably with
3) What you really want to make (or are making)

Least that's my breakdown, $500k would fall under 3
 
This is the best possible answer:
