Would it Take a Six Figure Salary to Make You Feel Successful?
Money can't buy happiness, but how much would it take to
make you feel successful?
A recent
survey conducted by CareerBuilder found that the answer for most Americans
might be less than you'd think. According to the survey, "the vast
majority of U.S. workers - 75 percent - don't feel that they need to earn six
figures in order to be successful."
Twenty-eight percent of respondents said that a salary of
$50,000 to $70,000 a year would give them a feeling of success. Twenty
three percent put the number at less than $50,000. Only one in ten said
that it would take $150,000 or more.
Men were twice as likely than women to say it would take six-figures
for them to feel successful.
