A1, I think the confusion lies in the fact that if you are truly doing consulting, working on the road 4 days a week, dealing with the stress of clients under high pressure situations, that typically is not a 45k type role considering that can be achieved elsewhere in life very easily without the stress or concerns that come with this job. I'm not judging, maybe you love it, but I know compensation is important for a lot of us because of what we deal with and 45k after taxes in my state is pretty much poverty level.

OP, are these the only metrics that you care about? (37. 120k. 2.3m net worth) My point is that it doesn't only matter how much you make and at what age; it matters what you do with your earnings once you receive them :)

I love when you post honesty on this app people will automatically think you're full of it. It may be odd but there's nothing to be confused about. Just because 'that's just not how it worked' for you doesn't mean that's not how it works for others. Someone else is making a few grand more than me. So it's not too absurd

Looking for support & validation.
I’m divorced & have 2 boys, 6 & 4 yo. Last week I took the 6 yo for a pedicure and he chose blue nail polish, well aware that he didn’t have to choose any at all. FFW to this week. It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.

But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible.

You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
