Wow an eye opener.

I was messing around with my calculator app and put some figures into the inflation calculator. I looked at
$100,000 in 1980 compared to today. Today the comparable amount at average 2.97% calculates to
get this $286,763.35 or a cumulative inflation of 186.76% inflation.

So all you people who promote a six figure income should consider some period of inflation going forward.

Here's a calculator to play around with. Have fun...

The above calculator shows why for the serious person residual income is a very important consideration. Sure making some extra income is great but for the builder as you build your business organization your income should grow along with your business.

Just as a side note I have noticed some of the high earners in the industry I've read about online in passing invest outside of their respective companies also.

Here's a better calculator to try. You can project out to a future date.
