Ask HN: What's your salary?
How much do you make annually from salary + consulting + recurring revenue?
1) if you are running a successful and growing startup, your salary should be as low as possible (you want to funnel as much as possible into the business)
2) if you are running an S-corp in a specific area, you are forced to take a salary determined to be "reasonable"
3) if you are working in finance, the scale is fundamentally different compared to working in tech or in a startup.
4) Cost of living is much less in some areas (e.g. texas) compared to others (e.g new york city)
That's a different question entirely.
What are you really asking?
(http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2569633 mentions 'monthly expenses'.)
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.

The initial question is currency-neutral, commenters can specify their own $/£/€/whatever, but you can't do that while answering a poll. Not that I've any idea what level exchange rates are at these days.
