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

College drop out making $20/hr as a nanny. What does it matter?

At 23, I was making 26k. It was awful. You’re fine.

I also made $65k but that was in 2008… different times. 😬

$24k. I got a raise to $30k when I was 24 and couldn’t think why I needed that much money.

65K! You're doing great!

15K! (1989)

$7.5k per year - that’s what I made at 23 in 2012

You are doing fine. You have a very long road ahead. Pace yourself.

I made 50k

I can tell ur 23 🤣 give urself a few more years and you will (hopefully) be over the habit of thinking ur better than everyone who makes less than u 😊

I was in college still at 23 and was making like 25K or something lol
I’m 26 now and still not even close to 60K yet 🙃

at 23, i was pulling in $1bn. lol. jk. at 23 i was pan handling and crashing at random peoples couches.

$15.70/hour

84k

At 23 I was already in my 2nd year at google ~250K TC. Now I’m 25 and I’m at around 320K TC. But It’s okay one day you’ll catch up though!

I was making 56k that was 4 yrs ago

$60k lol

34K - you’re fine! I’m 32 and make 150+ now

I’ll start hooking up with someone with no intention of dating them because of red flags, but if the sex is good I want to lock it down for the future (even if we are not compatible in our personality, I’ll start to see them in a positive way and flirt more since it makes the sex even better)! The guy starts to think I want a relationship (which is half true) and then distances himself. Anyone else go through this cycle?
