Is $100,000 a year really enough to live a stable, comfortable life?

In this episode, Pete breaks down the harsh reality of six-figure income in 2025 — starting with what you actually take home after taxes, 401(k contributions, and healthcare. Spoiler: it’s not $100K. Then we build a real financial life around what’s left, covering retirement savings, housing, transportation, food, insurance, and everything else life throws at you.

If you’ve ever asked, “Why do I still feel broke even though I make six figures?” — this one’s for you.

This is the first in a new series where we build complete financial lives around real household incomes. Coming up:

• How to make $70,000 feel like stability
• What life looks like at $50,000 a year
• Why $200K doesn’t guarantee wealth
• And what true financial peace looks like at any income
