Yep. Let me use this thread for an alternative phrasing. What is your annual income / your monthly expenses? < 12? 12-18? 18-24? 24-36? >36?
Alternatively, what's your salary in liters of Coca-Cola? Or Mars bars?
Is it really that arbitrary? Instead of measuring country- and inflation-sensitive dollars I'm advocating measuring how your income affects your runway.
Then why didn't you ask for that? You asked about salary, mentioning nothing about expenses or other commitments.
That's a different question entirely.
What are you really asking?
I don't understand this comment at all.
(http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2569633 mentions 'monthly expenses'.)
But then you mention "runway", which makes me wonder whether you're talking about me, or my company, or my other company, or my money earning side project, or my other money earning side project, or what.
In short, I don't know what you're asking for. Judging from the other replies, no one else does either.
I'm sure there's an interesting question here, but I don't know what it is.
