A couple of reasons:
1. Its not greedy – $10,000 per month isn’t really that much when you think about it – just $120,000 per year and that’s pocket change to the wealthy.
2. Its enough – While $10K per month isn’t some obscene “I want it all!” kind of cash, it is plenty for me. I can pay down my bills, give my folks a comfortable retirement and continue to fund my own as well.
3. Its a nice round number – I’ve decided that the reason I spent so many years “just getting by” is because that’s what I aimed for. Even now, I know my monthly bills and that’s the figure I tend to shoot for when booking new gigs. It stands to reason then that I just need to shoot for something other than my “just getting by” amount and $10K per month is a nice, easy figure to remember.
