Is a six-figure salary still enough to live comfortably in today’s world?

You’ve built a business, crossed the $100K threshold, and checked off what used to be a major financial milestone. But instead of breathing easier, you’re feeling the pressure: inflation, higher taxes, rising overhead, inflated living costs, and a widening gap between what you earn and what you keep. As a Canadian business owner or entrepreneur, it’s frustrating to hit the numbers but still feel like you're running in place. This episode unpacks the reality behind the six-figure illusion—and why that income level doesn’t stretch like it used to.


 In this episode, you'll uncover:

  • The shocking truth about how much buying power $100K has lost since the '90s
  • A breakdown of real-world expenses—from mortgage payments to groceries—and how they consume your take-home pay
  • Practical strategies to restructure your finances, align spending with values, and create new income opportunities through investing

Press play to find out if $100K still cuts it—and what you can do if it doesn’t.
