Just curious what you guys think? 100k?

All depends on what expenses you have, other sources of income, etc. If you have a spouse that's doing extremely well and could pay the bills pretty much on his/her own income, it'll be a lot different answer than someone that has a car payment, mortgage, student loans, etc. It's like asking "how much money do you need to make to live up to a comfortable standard of living?", as that answer would change greatly depending on who you ask.
Very ROI and volume dependent. 100k means <3k per play bet size (I'd suggest less). So on average you are making <$100 per play. Probably need to be making close to 1000 plays at 2.5% ROI or better.
I'd side with Mr. Advantage's advice. imo u need a much bigger roll or guys staking you to increase bet size.
The perfect answer!
Agreed. Tommy's response points out many of the reasons why it's impossible that popped into my head as well.
.. interesting article in regards to question , good luck
Sure is interesting for someone to buy 80k worth of options then leaving the country with out placing a Stop Sell order.
