Survey Says: The "Perfect Salary" for the Average American

According to a report, the average American says the perfect salary is $74,000.

It's unclear why the "perfect" amount isn't higher- especially with how expensive everything is right now- but it's possible they were just asking for the sweet spot where you'd be able to make ends meet comfortably.

That said, 19% of people say they'd need to make at least $100K. And about HALF of employed Americans say they should be making MORE to support their lifestyle. 

Other findings:

  • 24% of people say they're "unhappy" with their current salary.
  • 69% of Americans are looking for ways to make extra money.
  • 32% of people are interested in starting a side hustle
  • 29% of those in the survey already have a side hustle.
