Hereâs How Much You Have to Earn to Be a Baller in California

Bad news for anyone who aspires to become a one-percenter in California: The bar to entry is among the highest in the nation. According to a new report from the Economic Policy Institute, to join the Golden Stateâs clubhouse of top earners you have to make $438,000

These figures are kinda old, but if your goal was to moneymax, maybe try the "Big fish in a little pond" approach and take your hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to the Arkansas region. Described on SNL as "...something out of Li'l Abner, with buxom underage girls in their cutoff denims prancing around in front of Jethro and Billy Bob." If that's your style.

Compare these with 2017 figures for the top 5%, as reported by Fox Business. Just slightly less exclusive than 1%, but more recent and therefore probably more accurate.

You moneymaxx for yourself, not for foids. If you can afford your copes on a decent income, then there is no point in moving.
