LOL.
If you make 6 figures a year and can't find anything better to do with your time than average 13+ posts per day then you are extremely bankrupt in many ways that 5 figure people are more wealthy than you will ever be. |

Hey OP if your going to post like a big boy then you have 24 hours to post a pic of your W2 from 2014 and your most recent pay stub. If not then we will take that as proof you work at Sonic and live in your mom's basement. ****you must write today's date on, or next to, the W2/recent pay stub.

Having a six figure income is not all there is to life. Family and friends are way more important. It's nice but just a number. Plus, mo' money mo' problems. Looking at adding my Jesus Piece to my insurance, probably going to up my premiums View Quote Having lived very poor, lower, middle and upper middle class AND "comfortably well off" or "wealthy" I can honestly say that *everyone* I've ever met who has used this phrase never actually had any significant amount of money to test the theory.

You reap what you sow. View Quote Well, I wouldn't use the word "fault" in that it implies someone has failed at a moral obligation to earn that much money. You are obligated to produce enough to support yourself but you can support yourself on far less than that. And plenty of people simply lack the smarts to be research scientists, doctors, or engineers. That's not any fault in them anymore than my lack of ability to compete in the NBA is a failure on my part. That being said, I do get annoyed by someone who dropped out of high school to smoke dope, who knocked up some chick and is stuck with child support, and who never even tried to develop any real marketable skills when they whine about a living wage. Because, any able bodied person with a normally functional brain can manage to support themselves if they honestly work at it and make good lifestyle choices. |

Let's say EVERYONE did all that: Someone would still end up in the bottom 20%. The income distribution will always be a binomial distribution; all you're proposing is shifting the bell curve around and probably driving up inflation.
It's the old adage: If everyone had money, money would be worthless. |

I'm the sole wage-earner in my family of four, and we're in the top 10-15% of families based on annual income.
OP is wrong. I got where I am because I chose a field (programming) that pays well, and I'm damn good at it. MOST people - as in, >50% - don't have the aptitude for what I do. Of those that do, many choose a field or path that doesn't result in compensation at that level. If you're not making six figures by 30, so fucking what? $100k isn't reasonable to expect if you're a teacher, or a horticulturist, or a retail manager. Can it be done? Sure! Is there something wrong with you if you don't? Nope. |

I also save money every month into a retirement account and don't buy things I don't need(new cell phones, the newest TV, a new car every 5 years, etc). I have met many well off people who make $100k+ that live paycheck to paycheck because they cannot manage money. |

I *hate* hearing that bull shit. Money SOLVES problems, it doesn't create them, as a general rule. I know everybody says Money can’t buy happiness But it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets Yeah, and I know what they say Money can’t buy everything Well, maybe so, But it could buy me a boat Or, as someone else said, "Money can't by happiness but it can make misery easier to live with." There are a lot of problems money can't fix, but there are a whole lot more that money solves instantly. In fact, it solves them so well that the people with money often don't realize that there ever was a problem to begin with. Maybe your father just had a heart attack in another state and you need to rush to his bedside to be with him in his hour of need... That is a real problem and money won't cure it. But if you don't have a car, bus fare, or money for a plane ticket, then it's an even bigger problem. Or if one of the worn out tires on your car blows out halfway there and you don't have money for a replacement, or a hotel room. People with money would have had a good car with good tires and money for a plane ticket if need be so they wouldn't even realize that the problem of traveling to another state even existed in the first place. |

Supposedly a study found relatively recently that the satisfaction in one's income peaks at about $70,000 a year. Make a lot more than that, and your average "happiness" decreases (generally). I can't remember the source, just the amount.

I have met many well off people who make $100k+ that live paycheck to paycheck because they cannot manage money. View Quote That would be me, kinda. Got a little credit card debt, couple thousand cash, and ~95k in the 401k and other investments. For some damn reason I cannot keep cash around, it's like I'm allergic to it. I'm admittedly bad with loose money so I structure It the best I can to have any savings. Car and toys are all paid for, but those damn credit cards suck. Granted I'm only 29, I got time to sort things but I need to pick up the pace. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Hell, I made more money this year than I ever have and I'm thinking of finding something else again because I just don't enjoy what I do and it makes me a miserable human being. I never hit the six figure mark, but was over 3/4 of the way there. While it was a clean, white collar, air conditioned job with an impressive title, it was by far the shittiest, soul crushing, dehumanizing experience of my life. I worked it until the day I became fully vested in my 401K with that company and submitted my resignation. I had always believed that that type of job was the very definition of success, however I've never felt like such a huge failure in my entire life. I was never happy, I could not be a good father to my kids, nor a good husband to my wife. Absolutely nothing brought joy the entire time I was there. Money is not everything, without a satisfied mind, it is almost nothing. For those whose only measure of success is the size of their paycheck, most will find happiness elusive. That is not to say there is anything wrong with making big money. If you are content with how you earn it, than you have certainly got it made. It has been my experience that once my household income exceeded $65,000 per year (that is two incomes) my overall quality of life started diminishing exponentially. |
