$100,000 per year and you don't feel that this currently gives you financial security.

Can we please step back for a moment and reflect on that.

Yeah, my point being that considering the sum of money we're making, it really shouldn't have to be a case of living paycheck to paycheck. The general costs of living are getting out of control.

Can we please step back for a moment and reflect on that.
