Six figure income

Hi there! Do you know what money is? Yes? Great! So, a "six figure income" is a type of money that someone earns from their job.

When you count numbers, you start with 1, then 2, then 3, and so on. When you get to number 100, you have six digits. That's a lot of numbers, right?

Well, a "six figure income" means that someone is earning at least $100,000 per year. That's a big number! It's like having 100 boxes filled with $1,000 bills.

People who earn a six figure income usually have a job that requires a lot of knowledge and skill. For example, doctors, lawyers, and business executives often earn six figure incomes because they have studied and worked hard to become experts in their field.

Hope that helps!
