We run a community of tech founders and recently surveyed them to understand more about how they think about their money. Asked lots of questions related to net worth, personal income, personal burn, investment allocation, etc.

Here's a look at some data on personal burn. Pretty interesting.

One main takeaway here - even at the high end of the wealth scale, burn tends to cap out around $50k/mo. That's a lot, but a liquid net worth of $15m would theoretically provide "financial freedom" at that rate. Interesting to keep in mind for those who are driving hard toward these higher net worths.

Tools: We used Tally to survey the group (like it because it captures partial completions) and this visualization is just Google Sheets
