OP: i feel behind in life since I make 65K. how much did you make?

Person: I made 50K

OP: oh great, so I'm at least in front of you. Self-esteem repaired.

Bruh, you feel behind? With this post, all you're doing is looking for someone else to stand in front of. Find some worth within yourself. Only compete with your future self and your needs. Make money to fund the lifestyle you want, not to compare to others

32k/yr HCOL NYC

0 🤷🏻‍♀️

12 an hour lol

$7.5/hr working in the university cafe.

24k a year.

18 years later, 7 figures.

$45k at 23 in MCOL. I’m 26 now making $85k but in HCOL so I’m actually losing money in my net 😔

$0, when I graduated law school and started working at 25, I was only making $63k. You’re doing fine.

I was making 2.15 an hour + tip (restaurant just opened so basically minimum wage bc it was so slow). I’m now 28 clerking and have options for my next salary to be around 250k or higher. Everyone’s timeline is different.

$55k in 2015

48K working crazy overtime (70hr weeks)

$30k? Maybe?

10 years later $240k

Head up - you’ll make it!

What kind of sales do you do?

I’m 31 and making 57k a year, and that’s by FAR the most I’ve ever made

$500 ish a month, I think. Before taxes

I made $10k/year as a grad student. You're doing great :)

$57,500, no sign on, no relocation, no bonuses, at Accenture

$14 p/hr 😂 comparison is the thief of joy. Less than 10 years later I’m making well over 6 figures. I had to run my own race

I was making $65k at 23. I now make $275k at 35.

I made £15k which is about $18k. This was 20 years ago. Don’t sweat it, have a goal in mind (career not salary) and work towards it. Everything will pan out if you lay down the path.

It could be worse like when the other day a person wrote they basically feel poor and behind people while making $200k at 27..

67K plus 8-9K a bonus
