I’m 42 and in the US, I’d call 150K pretty close to life-changing for me. I could afford some large maintenance items on our house, pay down the mortgage by a good chunk, and not have to worry about some upcoming medical bills. Sure I’d still have to work but it would definitely have a huge positive change on my life going forward. 🤷‍♂️

Edit: and also beef up our emergency fund! All of this would make us ‘feel’ much more comfortable.

    Come on man.. would you get to stop working? Would you bot have a house maintenance issue in the future?

    Income is all about the flow, not the peaks.

    Nothing would change for you.

    I agree it is all about the flow, I even said in my comment I’d still have to keep working. It would help tremendously and take some pressure off us which mentally would feel like a breath of fresh air.

    Believe it or not, I get where you’re coming from on this. I guess I’d just love to have 150K is all. 🤣
