What age did u break 100k mark?

[dingnecros]

What age did u break $100k per year salary mark.? Granted that it depends on where you live and most people on AT get 8 figure 1st jobs what would be a realistic estimate for a six figure salary expectation. 4 years - 6 years -8 years or may 2-3 job changes

 

[KLin]

I haven't, and probably won't unless I go into business for myself.

 

[Mo0o]

Really depends on field, experience, education. A little too variable to jsut guess. Personally I wont expect to make that much until at least 7-10 years from now.

 

[RichieZ]

are you taking about base or are you including things like bonus, options, rsu's etc?

seriously just try a little harder and you'll get there complete with supermodel girlfriend, car paid in cash, and home paid in cash.

That's me being bitter since I'm not there either

You realize that the majority of American HOUSEHOLDS don't hit 100k, right?

Well I have a Masters and live in new york suffolk county area and still rent coz I cant afford a house I have 4 years of experience in a very niche field thats is not software based nor has any chance of getting offshored. I was hoping to get to that mark in about 5 years time but it doesn't seem like its gonna happen anytime soon.

31 and that was about 3 years too late in my opinion

I drive a 7 year old honda accord paid in full though. No GF ... this is ATOT right and still renting. Fvcking tax takes it all away pay tax whn u make maony pay tax when u spend money pay tax when buying a house and pay tax when u live in a house. Not that I am saying taxes are not imp for growth of society but sometimes it feels unfair.

 

[Kadarin]

I did it last year.

 

[TheVrolok]

lol, I love it when these threads pop up on ATOT. It's way too late for all the 23-27 year olds to pop on and talk about how they're all making 250+ with supermodel wives and sports cars.

the secret isn't what you make but how much you keep. hey I don't make 100k or own a home but I'm saving for my 20% downpayment which is close to 80k in California and i'm 4 years in and 2 years away. still chugging.

Truth. You can live fantastically on less than 100k as long as you spend, save, and invest properly. I suppose it depends on what type of lifestyle you have, but people are overspending way too much these days.

I was a millionaire before I was born

[irishScott]

Given that I'm a Computer Engineering major, assuming average starting salaries remain where they are, and the fact that I'll be going for a PhD, I'll hopefully hit it before or around 30

 

[Chronoshock]

22, I'll be starting my job one week before my birthday

outkast said "its not how much you make, but how much you spend"

 

[IGBT]

..most people are slugging it out at 50k or < . and have 2 jobs.
