Whatever your salary is you will slowly build up to it and be the same as you were before.
Or that's what we do/did, I got a 39% raise after Covid which was awesome.
3-4 years later my bills caught up I'm in the same position I was just with nicer shite.

"A good salary"
This depends on many factors: Single? Married? Kids? How many? Location? Commute?
I live in St Tammany. Let's say I'm single with no kids and work within an hour's drive, I'd say 80k is a good salary. 100k would be a great salary.
If you add a wife and 4 kids....and the wife doesn't work, 100k would work but would not be considered good. I'd say 150k would be good, and 180k would possibly be great.

I live pretty much the exact same way that I did when I was making $50k a year. I'm beyond double that and I have friends who make the same and always seem to be upping their standard of living every time they get a raise. My bills run around $1200/month so I'm able to save a pretty good bit and still do whatever the hell I want within reason.
I could still make it on 50k a year without adjusting how I live by much.
Sounds like you’re doing good now, but you should read this:
