You're a good man Rogue. That's exactly what I did back in 86! Keep it up, you'll succeed at whatever you do because your eager to learn your civilian job and be good and work just as hard as youo are trying for that next promotion.

I know how hard it is, don't give up!

As a fulltime stock trader I made 120% this year, barring any stupid decisions in the next few weeks (altho unfortunately I don't trade with much money so my income is nothing special.)

$0; will not be of legal working age for another year or two, not that I'll be able to juggle that with forthcoming college classes.

Enough to buy and sell all of you. And then buy you all again and give you away to chartity and not even try to write you off as a tax deduction.

Not much.

$31,200/yr. injecting chemicals under pressure into wellheads and pipelines, and maintenance of chemical stocks at wellhead locations for automatic injection. This is actually pretty good for south Texas.

$15,816/yr. in retirement. Not bad considering I only worked for the Marine Corps for 20 years 2 weeks 1 day and a few hours. The good news is that I'm able to medically insure my whole family for $460 per year just 'cause I did that time. Some folks pay that each month, right?

None of this is important. Plenty of folks look like they have money 'cause they drive a nice car or have a high-speed cellphone or a nice laptop or whatever, but the fact is they have no money, right?

Correct, or even more. Our monthly medical premiums are nearly $500 for the family, and I do belong to a group policy.

It's all relative. But, you are correct, many people have tapped any and all available credit to live what appears to be a comfortable life. The more a person makes, the more they spend.

Again, it's all relative.

My salary, bonus, and options are a matter of public record, but this is a nosy question.

More than enough for the past 10 years is my answer.
