I guess everyone has their own amount of thriving. Mine would be a cabin on under populated lake with the ability to buy whatever I wanted with enough room for family to visit regularly and so on. Someone else might want million dollar home and travel the world another might be happy to just pay the bills would be thriving. I Think also age has some to do with your definition of thriving. And as you grow that will change. anothepwrson might need a huge house with servants to be thriving. 1000 a week is just above surviving at the moment for us but our mortgage is very low we do t eat out or have a huge credit bills .2000.00a week profit is my current goal can I get there I don't know But I CAN TRY.But everyone's situation is different.
