Where I live $100K isn't a status symbol. And thats not a flex. Its a byproduct of living in Northern VA.

Is that flex worth? I guess it depends on who you ask. In 2025, 42.8% of households earned $100,000 or more, which means $100,000 is roughly the 57th percentile nationally OILERMAN, and oldschool 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I think when people make comments like that they're just jealous. They think you just stand there and people hand you money, or you don't deserve the pay for your work. But the guy above you who watches you do the work somehow deserves more. Negro please! IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted Monday at 11:36 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 11:36 AM The median personal income for an individual in the United States is $45,140 per year, according to official U.S. Census Bureau data @Callidus nailed it $100,000 puts an individual in the top 18% to 23% of all single income earners in the United States. This means that only about 18% to 23% of individual workers earn $100,000 or more per year, placing a $100,000 salary roughly between the 77th and 82nd percentiles.

Its a byproduct of living in Northern VA. An individual salary of $100,000 places you in approximately the top 23% to top 25% of single income earners in Northern Virginia (the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro area). [1] Put another way, a $100k individual income means you are out-earning roughly 75% to 77% of other single workers in the region According to regional cost-of-living data, a single adult requires a baseline of roughly $65,650 to cover basic necessities in the area, and studies estimate that an individual needs about $106,704 to live "comfortably" as a sole earner.

bizzyeddie Posted Monday at 11:51 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:51 AM yeah but even at $100,000 you are much closer to the poorest of poor than you are to the truly rich. I think you gotta be pulling a good bit over a million a year if you wanna flex, but I think we'd all be happy with a win over the Jets and empty pockets....right?
