$100K Salary Budget
How to allocate a six-figure income for maximum wealth building.
Earning $100,000/year ($6,667/month) is a great position to accelerate wealth building. Consider a more aggressive 45/25/30 split: $3,000 for needs, $1,667 for wants, and $2,000 for savings. Saving $2,000/month at 7% grows to $143,186 in 5 years and $346,170 in 10 years. At this income, your savings rate matters more than your spending cuts.
