what is your salary/yearly pay?

[JimmiG]

I make under $40k. don't care who knows but I do pretty well with it really, I think anyway, own a home, just bought another brand new car, every TV in the house is over 32", laptops, nice gaming rig, ipad, 2 consoles, buy any game i want and just purchased a 680gtx directcu 2 should be here tomorrow I hope. heck i'm happy in life.
But I have a credit score of over 800 too so that helps. I always tell younger guys to work on that credit as soon as you turn 18.

$39k here and I feel kind of the same. If you live alone and don't have an expensive hobbies, it's certainly enough to live a decent life. It's hard to really save any large sums of money though. This month I managed to put away about $450 into the savings account which is above average for me.

Also I feel that with my level of education I could do better. But it's OK for the first proper job in my life.

Can I count the fact that I live at home in a major big city as an extra $15k salary?

Everyone knows that you're only 16 and you live with your parents.

Same for the majority of posters here (13-25, live with parents, still in school).
Don't stop them from claiming to make bank.

Edit: My pension is less than $40k yr., Farm actually loses money after I pay myself & my Wife:biggrin:
COL in this area makes me a 1%er in my community! LOL

You'll piss it away your first semester. You have no work ethic or sense of responsibility.

You claim to be in high school, why are you posting right now? There is no time zone in America where you should be able to get on a forum. Are you in england? is your school day already over?

I'd rather see this as Net Worth.

Every year, I've been making significantly more money than the year before but somehow it feels like it's never enough. Even 5 years ago if I knew I was going to make as much money as I do now, I would have been feeling very satisfied knowing how much better I was doing. But in the end, expenses catch up to income and the "petty cash" never grows.

60k living at home.

Have a GF though so I'm still broke

This is very situational. For example, if I made a nice round sum like 100k in Topeka, KS, it would be decent here. People on the coast would go WOW, how do you make so little, but with the cost of living calculator, in manhattan that is equal to 234k and change. Still might not be a lot, but its over twice the amount in Topeka. That amount in San Diego would be 140k. Still a nice increase.

$44K here, first real job after graduating college. Not bad, could be worse. However, the wife is in grad school and racking up insane bills while barely working, so I'm completely broke paying for her.

Time to get a girl that's not as high-maintenance.

 

[saratoga172]

22 making just shy of $50k...with OT it eclipses. Getting a raise in the next month or so for a new role. Should be between $4-6k.

 

[bignateyk]

Anywhere between 80 and 110 depending on how much consulting I do on top of my 9-5 job.

Age 28, Occupation: Embedded Programmer/Electrical Engineer

Really, anybody can just do that?!?

 

[Baked]

I make more money than Anand.

 

[zCypher]

39k, with the bit of OT this year will end up more like 42k, I live alone in a small very cheap apartment and it still feels like it's not even remotely close to enough to be satisfied with.
