Most of us are commission-only p

I'm assuming you mean commission, or at least total pay, but here's what I got...

1st yr - $13k
Doubled every year till year 5 hovered at $100k
Yr 8 - $140k

I was on probation in 2009 for not hitting revenue goals. With low production payout I might have made 30k that year but put my head down and with a lot of prospecting, bit of luck and a good market I’ll make a touch under 700k this year. Don’t stop til ya get enough.

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)
