Better / yes

Better. My dad makes about the same money I do now and never thought he’d make that much in his life. He’s 73. The most he ever made in his life before 69 was 30k in a year and now he’s at 250.
He was an immigrant

After I graduated college he changed careers and started selling insurance
I think significantly worse lol, my mom was making about 300k and my dad was making roughly a 500k at the age of 26/27.
Well my dad passed away last year, and my mom is now a stay at home mom without much valuable career advice. My dad was an attorney, and my mom was a programmer without any actual experience but got mentored well with a super high salary.
my parents have a house in the bay so i don't think I'll ever come close 🤣
in terms of agewise tho at 23 vs him at 23 I'm doing better
No. I make significantly more than my parents ever made at my age, but still can’t afford a house.
I’m sure you can afford a house. Just not the house you want 😆
Not better / Yes
My dads a hell of a business minded dude. He got into the Airbnb business back in 2015 and he’s done really well for himself.

Better, no. My father was 2nd gen but didn’t learn English until he started kindergarten because his parents only knew Greek.
