$173K sounds realistic, don't forget what income tax will do to this number.

Congratulations on your success! I broke through the $500K barrier once in my life, back in 2005. What a year that was! I was proud as a peacock. I live in a rural area, so money goes far.

My frugal Yankee dad had a saying - "It's not necessarily how much you make, it's what you do with it".
