Charlotte’s Six-Figure Salary Requirement
Charlotte, North Carolina, has become a place where a comfortable life requires a six-figure salary, according to a recent study from SmartAsset. The study’s authors used a 50/30/20 model for their calculations, in which no more than 50% of a household’s income is allocated for essentials such as housing, transportation, and groceries, 30% for “fun” things such as hobbies and entertainment, and 20% for savings, investments, and paying off debt.

Employee of the Year Looks Beyond the Window
Moving to a new city can be overwhelming. But it can also be exciting with endless opportunities to explore and learn about your new surroundings.

Her experience with Crisis Assistance Ministry showed her the positive impact the agency has in the lives of Charlotte’s families, and she knew she wanted to help give back to her neighbors with similar needs.
