About a third of gig workers surveyed said they need the work, despite 44 per cent making more than $100,000 per year.

100k doesn't go that far anymore...

$100k used to be 'you made it' money. Now it's what $60k a year used to be in the 90s

Depends where you live in Canada.

Sure does. You also tend to make slightly more $ for higher cost of living areas, so it's all kinda relative

Maybe not if you have kids and dependents. But that's twice what I make and I'm extremely comfortable and want for nothing.

Depends where you live too. I've got depends and I barely manage to save for retirement and I'm making quite a bit more than 100k. And I wouldn't say I live lavishly either.
