These days, getting ANY job is a win.  But imagine that three companies offered you three different salaries for basically the exact same job.  They are:  A.)  $55,000 . . . B.)  $74,000 . . . and C.)  $215,000.

I bet I know which one you'd accept:  B.)  $74,000.  (???)

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.  24% of people say they're "unhappy" with their current salary.

69% of Americans are looking for ways to make extra money . . . and 32% of people are interested in starting a side hustle.  And 29% of those in the survey already have a side hustle.
