23 year old, have been earning over 50k net a year since before I left high-school
Hard working attitude isn't a meme. Then again i work in construction and it seems most unemployed people around my age are limp wrist little punks

>>6804091
I make $200k a year as a programmer. Pay $1500 a month for rent, maybe $150 for food, $100 for utilities, $100 for weeb toys, and save the rest.

>>6804091
i make 1200 dollars a week after taxes from my job

>>6804091
>29

I get bullied all day at work and my job is boring as fuck though.

>>6804091
After rent and all expenses including taxes (and I’m not super frugal) I save about $1000 a month from my job

I’m making more money wth crypto these days though

>>6804091
I make 60k a year as a gardener. I can pay for everything and put like 40% into crypto monthly. I don’t go out, usually, I just buy a lot of booze on the weekends and cruise biz

>>6804091
I think I'm borderline millennial? Born in '87

I'm an electrician and do alright. Bring home 1450/wk for 39 hours work after tax ( which is a shitload in Ontario) House, couple cars, hobbies, etc.

Saving means investing.

Wendy’s chef here making 400k. Seriously is awesome how all of my fellow ch0n posters all make over 6 figures! In reality I just got my first real job at 26 and make about 45k a year in the Midwest doing IT/data shit. I’d like more money but my job is super stress free and comfy.

>I make $200k a year as a programmer.

Programming what?

US wages are crazy. I don't know anyone who makes anywhere near that much (in the UK)

Just turned 24. Cleared 88k while 23. Building sawmills. Plus canada has wicked med/dental.

I'm 25 and have a degree in Accounting and Finance. I couldn't find a job after applying to several hundred of them and basically only being able to find shitty ones that pay $12 an hour which is basically a slave wage where I live. Learning how to program now so hoping that will get me work. Not looking for anything fancy, but even getting your foot in the door is next to impossible these days. Most of the money i've made in my life so far has been from crypto and other NEET things.

Make like 15K as a sub. Teacher.

>>6804470
I only work 3 days a week too

I'm 25 and last year I made >$250k USD. Targeting $350k this year gross. I do data analytics in the financial industry

My accounts are under heavy scrutiny by regulators and my employer, so my investment options are limited

~$120k in dividend stocks that's been growing in this crazy bull market
$40k in my 401k
$70k saved for a house downpayment (I live in a low COL area), but if the market takes a shit I will use it to build a position
$50k emergency / investment capital if the market shits itself
$30k cash

Not really into crypto too much, it's too volatile for my bitch ass

>>6804180
Fuck yea brother. Trades are the best/quickest/most paying blue collar jobs.

35. 275k as a programmer (mainly iOS) in NYC. 3k mortgage + maintenance. Employer provides health, cell, and lunch. Subway / internet / electricity / food about 1k (delivery every night). Lucked out with my situation and am plagued by impostor syndrome.

Make 16000 a month doing porn

>>6804738
Yea man. Plus the physical activity and being some place different every couple days is the big seller for me
I'd legit go crazy driving to the same office every single day

>>6804180
>Hard working attitude isn't a meme.

What defines millennial? I'm 27, a programmer. I make $120k/year. rent is $700/m. groceries ~$300, car insurance $120. no debt. Put some money in 401k, HSA, brokerage account, some in crypto. New worth ~280k.

25 year old trap here. I make $150,000 monthly on Bitconnect

I imagine that meticulously analyzing data to get single digit returns causes you to be unable to stomach investing in an asset that regularly has 50% 24 hour gains and drops in value

>what defines millennial
I believe it's supposed to be people born between 1985 - 2000 or 1982 - 2000 I've seen other say 1980 - 1995.

Work as a test engineer during the week and make 60K a year. Medical and dental included as well as 401k match. Just turned 30.

On the weekend I do wedding photography with my wife and we bring in an extra 40k a year doing that.

$900 a month on mortgage. $500 a month on food for the family. Trying to balance between savings and taking one nice vacation a year.

I'm 26
Been doing IT shit since before I got out of highschool and now I'm a network and systems administrator. I went to school to study astrophysics and dropped out when I realized it wasn't what i wanted to do. Making 44k in a low cost of living area. Pretty damn comfy. got a 2k+ sq foot home with a deck, fence, and my fiance. Best decision of my fucking life was dropping out of college and making a bet on my skills.

>>6804842
I'm you except I make 85k a year as a desktop application developer, how do I get to 120k?

>>6804883
I get free breakfast/lunch on workdays.

>>6804091

>had apartment, girlfriend, new car
>sold it all
>live with parents
>full time wagecuck, eat rice and beans and ramen
>invest 4k/mo into crypto

This is my year. Do or die.

>>6804874
whats that convert to in mutt bucks? like 40k? geez i love my mexicans but they drive the wages fucking down. need a wall soon

>>6804861

That's pretty much exactly what I do, except the returns need to be over 20% for me to allocate a single dollar to their value. I run a ton of sensitivities on these investments as well.

Seeing fluctuations like crypto give me anxiety. I bought $100 of ETH last Wednesday when the market tanked just for shits and the % value change every hour is amazing. I could never drop real money on this stuff

>>6804180
Worked in New York on many a building site. Americans have the limpest wrists of all. Laziest cunts I've ever worked with.

>>6804091
There's a lot of 1 percenters on this board. I'm surprised.

>>6804826
No one here knows what it feels like to be a man.

>>6804999

I have no idea. I was making $80k a year ago. One day the VP has a meeting with me and gives me a 50% raise because too many people were leaving for other companies.

>>6804091
am 23, engineer making 70k a year. more than enough to aggressively pay for student loans and still have some fun money left for crypto

>>6804091
23/making 42k a year not including G.I bill which is tax free 900 a month 9 months out of the year.
Rent is 650 plus utilities and I have a 250 carp payment and insurance and phone etc

I do okay. I don’t include crypto gains anyway cause I don’t cash out

>>6804091
24 years old. All my income was from crypto. I made 1.2 Million last year.

Literally everyone on here making this crazy money is in computers. Don't you see the problem here? There are no jobs anymore that pay enough to live off of unless you want to stare at a computer programming the rest of your life. Our humanity is being sucked out of us. The world is quickly becoming more and more dystopic every year.

I'm 29 and live in Washington State south of Seattle. I make just over 70k doing general maintenance at a large apartment complex. It's not a glorious job or anything but I enjoy the mindless work and the interaction with fellow employees and tenants. I also rent out a house so I get a little income and if course equity from that. Im able to save at least a third of my paycheck with my current spending habits. 120k in savings, paid off rental property valued at 350k, an old Forester that runs fine, and no debt.

>>6805026
You sold your GF? Nice

>>6805332
Lol of course you have a Forester

>>6805082
Remember that when people talk about the 1%, they're not talking about income, they're talking about wealth.

>>6804091
Don't you mean at most one roommate

>>6804091
>$160k total comp and great benefits and perks at 22.
Feels good man.

>>6804091
I don't make a living wage. I did however spend 3-4 years wagecucking till I had $12k. I now make about $350 a month of which goes to:

>$70 for phone
>$55 for internet
>$80 to gas
>the rest goes to miscellaneous shit like food
Anything left over goes to savings.

I have 4k in the bank left that needs to last me at least 2 years until I can get the hell out of uni so I can make a living wage again.

>>6805383
Wealth accrues with high income + time.

If you're young and in the 1% of income you can bet you'll probably be in the 1% of wealth in a few decades if you invest wisely.

>>6805372
Hah, yeah. It's a good car though and I like it. Great for camping and going into the mountain passes during winter. Big enough for me and my dog. Can't complain.

>>6804091
24, 90k before taxes. live pretty much expense free, my company pays for everything. have about 20k in saving and right now entire paychecks are going into crypto

>>6805458
>$350 a month.
Holy shit I don't understand how people even make this little money.
What life choices led to this?

I meet>>6804091
I meet all of those, I also was fucking geek who lived in front of a computer through all of college and then was underpaid for my first 3 years of working.

I'm comfortable I have a small savings, I spend what I want without really checking my account. And my bills are paid. I spend about 20% of my income on rent, my car is paid off and I have insurance through my job. That being said, I used to do a lot of heroin and have insane debt from the schemes I used, so I am unable to obtain any type of credit, which will fuck me when I need a new car.

26
52k a year
Bills suck but life is somewhat /comfy/.

>>6804091

roommates?? in an apartment?? and you call that a living wage?

>>6805026
How long would it take to get a binance acc and buy ICX?

Ive only used Bittrex

>>6805321

that's not what's happening, it's just natural market forces. menial jobs have to compete with 3rd world pajeets who will do the same work for nothing. if you can't outsmart pajeet then you live like pajeet.

Graduated last year with a dual major in chemistry and biology. Work 12hr overnight shifts in a lab for ~40k a year. Believe it or night this was one of the highest paying entry level jobs I could find. Most offering work to people with <_ 1 year experience were paying around $11-13 an hour. All others that pay upwards 50-80k a year require at least 5-10 years experience. Going to pharmacy school next year to make more in the long run but it’s gonna build up a lot of debt and I won’t be done with school and still living like a landless peasant till I’m about 27. Really wish I would have majored in engineering or programming, but it is what it is. Still love what I learned and it’s a privelege to have a degree of any kind.

>>6805321
We are living in the digital age my friend. Should've got with the program. Tech is only going to become an even bigger part in all our lives. Not too late to get on board.

I'm 24, and I'm your average nerd, honestly. Work part time as an accountant which is really almost no work for decent pay, and at night I go to law school. I rarely study but it seems I was born smart, like, I just watch anime and play vidya, study a little, and I miraculously keep passing Accounting and law school. I'm not bragging to be honest, because my social awkwardness, low self esteem, inability to talk with women, and my physical (un)fitness balances things out.

I probably cant do any kind of blue collar job unless I go to the gym, but I'm embarassed to go to one.

I feel like one day I'll be rich, but I'll still be a lonely loser socially.

>>6805332
70k is high for maintenance. do you have strong background skills to get that much?

anybody here work in accounting or finance? double majoring in both, senior yr and a bit scared and dreadful about getting a "real" job

>>6805830
No internships?
You're fucked kid.

>>6805747
You're only going ot stay a loser if you decide not to change it Anon .

I was a fat shy loser all my teenage years , I lost 100 lbs, have fucked over 40 women , had a couple of girlfriends , and have a high paying job.

No one will give you shit in this life, you have to take it or you will die a sad crushed normie like 90% of the population.

You're young, you have all the information in the world at your fingertips , if you want to change your life you start now and you may be shocked how different it looks in a year .

>>6805539
Lol I look at as investing in myself. At one point I was making 1k a week. I spend most of my day focused on my classes or programming. As soon as I get my degree I'm looking at a x15-x20 in this city. The expenses listed are all my expenses for the month btw. The way I see it I'm wasting my time working when I could be gaining skills + working on projects. At least that's how I planned it.

>>6804091
yeah and saved up 30k before i got into crypto

>>6804837
your chart says average base salary is around 120k which, when adjusted for inflation, is actually worth around 70k everywhere else in the country

silicon valley really has these monkeys paying 3200/month for rent

>tfw engineer in the midwest

>>6805875
That's not the issue. People are trying to change it and there are literally no fucking jobs out there. You have to be a fucking super chink on steroids to get an entry level job nowadays. I know people that come from wealthy families with degrees that are selling their bodies on escort sites for money because they can't find work. One of them was even related to a very powerful political family of which I won't reveal the last name. I can't help but feel something isn't right in our society when I hear that.

33 here, wife is 31... combined we will make about 320k this year... I’m an engineer, she’s in finance. Mortgage ~5500 per month

Just finished my PhD and am doing a postdoc making 55k. Might apply for tenure positions in a couple years. Maybe I'll make it in crypto before then.

>people making over $40k
>paying rent

I joined an apprenticeship out of highschool and was paid to get a shitty ATA in 'trade theory'. Ended up going towards the painting side and obtaining a lot of NACE quals. Did a lot of Marine and commercial painting as a journeyman and ended up landing a job in a military base doing maintenance/painting in all kinds of places from residential to industrial. When my contract there ended I got called up and was offered the job I currently have because of references and a lot of people are easily impressed with OPM security clearances.

>>6804470
Lemme get them live edge slabs homie

>>6805321

no you're just a faggot. Oilfields, make 100k+ easy starting, yes the boom ended in 2014 but if youre highly skilled the work is there.
Or anything maritime, 100k /yr starting. My friend is 3rd mate, 250k/yr at 24, shipping all over the world. If you're highly skilled you can make six figures easy. High skill is what you're lacking, not a job market.

I make 60k managing a call center

Also I'm 10 minutes away from the Google campus and my rent is $1.4k. I have $4k a month after rent, taxes, and 401k to do whatever I want with. And I'm a new grad. Not even counting my bonus/equity, which is a lump sum of about $40k at the end of the year.

24 making 36k a year as a low rank banker.

life wasn't supposed to be like this. I struggle with depression and thoughts of suicide..

>>6804091

22 yrs old, 90k software engineer with a chill as fuck work environment, live in a state where I can ccw and buy non cucked AR15's, pay 1200 a month rent and live on my own no roommates, have maxed out retirement contributions and still have 2k a month leftover to invest in crypto and other shit.

Was thinking of working at a major tech firm where I could make a bit more money but I would have to live in a commie state working for SJW's in probably a high pressure work environment (think amazon). I know there's people here who work for those companies... is it really that bad or am I just memeing? Might go apply for a big 4 if I get bored of my current gig

>>6806324
funny thing is your prolly ahead of like 75 percent of people in your age group lmao

>>6806167
Bullshit a 3rd is making 250k unless he's working 9 months on 3 months off

>>6806324
You mean like a bank teller right?

Maybe I am too old to post here (30)

I got my own company and after all the taxes I usually take something like 200k to 300k dollar per year.

I am mostly just playing games and traveling and letting the company run itself now.

Happy workers is usually a happy company.

>>6804091
24. I make $140 every two weeks. shit retail job that only gives me one day a week.

>>6806425
I guess but I don't consider normies competition. I compare myself to myself and I want only greatness.

I know it's ridiculous but I have this Napoleon complex that I must be #1 and not being there is torture.

I met with a portfolio manager and just shot the shit in his office for 2 hours. He must have seen something in me because he tried to get me a 100k/year job right then and there.

The person in charge of hiring was like.. uhh you lack 3 licences and at least 3 years as a portfolio manager. so no. Said he might try to get me to work as his assistant maybe grooming me to inherit his clients.. so at least there's that. I'm also interviewing for a federal job for taxes that would pay 70k and another with the international logistics for this countries embassies

but I still feel like a failure and probably always will.

>>6804091
Easily. Have my own house (crippled me financially without crypto though), car and 3 motorcycles and heaps of bicycles. Enough stuff to impress gold diggers who I fuck and discard , holidays overseas (but rarely as I hate the rest of the world (ausfag), health insurance , PC and laptops always top of the line. I am just an analyst as well. But since crypto I take no shit and the man can't boss me around now. Life is good.

>>6804091
I'm a high functioning autist so I have a 100k a year developer job in an avg cost of living area. live in a cheap 1BR apartment and paid off all my student loans and other debt already. I don't spend much at all so the money just keeps piling up. plus 300k in cryptos of course.

>>6806464

You are wasting money by not moving to silicon valley. You do understand that you can sell Google and Facebook stock the moment it vests for cash... The base cash equivalent salary compensation for all of those companies is over $200k and that doesn't even include your bonus.

Also, adjusting for purchasing power isn't "adjusting for inflation"... But I'm sure that was just a typo.

Engineer,age 19, 380k $, 3.1 million in crypto.

slave labor but being a schizophrenic with no job opportunity or savings what can i do

>be me
>brown
>typical "really intelligent but lazy" type
>drop out of high school to stay home and play video games and smoke weed
>suddenly realize I want to be successful
>lie on resume and get entry level position at wealth management firm
>also discover bitcoin and start investing (2013)
>start lying on resume more, exaggerating credentials while hopping from higher paying job to higher paying job

Now I have all the time and money in the world to do whatever I want with my life, opened my own startup accelerator, learned to code, and all while my friends who went to college are slaving away and posting every single nice thing in their lives on instagram to numb the pain

and what makes me extra hard about all this is that brown people who don't go to college aren't supposed to make it

>>6807784

problem is, most of the lefties that push the notion that there's systemic racism and all that... are basically projecting their own subconscious beliefs about the world onto it, and are typically the first to get triggered by seeing a brown person who's made it

>>6807872
Fuckin this
As long as you ain't lying you're way into some shit like a doctor or pilot even if you get canned right after you can just use that job as work experience and now you're in and a little ahead

No larp here. I’m disabled and get money to sit around all day doing nothing. Ex military fag. I invest that money in crypto and I’m rich as fuck now. Already own a house, married, decent car (don’t car about flashy cars), free college education in a stem major but I don’t need to work.

>>6808048
That's gotta be tough. I've read "the Center Cannot Hold" -- great autobiography by a schizophrenic Yale professor -- and I can only imagine. You're tough, keep an open heart and you'll pull through.

Yes. But their hearts are in the right place, however misguided they might be. There are really bad people -- killers, crooks, ISIS.... As easy as it is to lose myself in race tensions, I always try to keep focus on the real enemy.

Lol, what part of NYC?

>suffer through college to get where I'm at now

I have more money than I know what to do with and any happiness I have through my hobbies is completely drained by work. I thought the "money can't buy happiness" shit was just a fucking meme, but I'm absolutely miserable.

Doctor. Make 450k/yr. Wife makes 500k/yr in tech.

Mortgage 7k, have a bit left over every month.

>>6808808
Good point

>>6805830
Gonna be rough with no internships. Grab some contract jobs through hiring agencies. I had two internships at local banks and a large investment management company and couldn't find work. Ended up doing a shitty Ops contract for 2 years with great pay but no benefits , recently got a good job at a local bank doing front office shit. It will be tough but if you are flexible and work hard you will make it.

32. Live in Tokyo/Hong Kong/SF/NYC. Work as a remote developer at 200k.

Additional income from under the table development of a crypto exchange and pentesting.

I don't own any crypto. I invest only in equities, ETFs and closed end funds.

>>6804531
I hope you make it brother

>>6808851
Money can buy happiness. Trading your life and soul for that money takes it away though

>>6804091
My wife earns $98k a year, I bring in around $20k from the GI bill and a part time job. We have a 5 bedroom 3 bath house on an acre lot, two kids and one nice truck and a shitty car. Once I finish school I have a job lined up making $50k/year, then we can really start saving and I'll have more fun money. $98k is a good amount here, but the mortgage is $2000 a month, pretty nasty.

71k a yr as an engineer in training in Canada

Things are very good. I dont even bother with a budget and probably only spend 1500 a month on shit.

>>6809128
How do I buy happiness though? The only happiness I have, which is still pretty nice, is knowing that my bills are paid.

Microsoft? I have heard they pay 250k to decent programmers.
I live near Seattle and pay pretty much that (more for food and no weeb toys, though). Make 71k as an engineer.

You are honestly a faggot. With 200k a yr you have the option of just saving money for 3-5 years, retiring, and doing whatever the fuck you want.

I do, rent alone, had a car already, my workplace provides health insurance at an adequate cost and I have enough saved to buy a new car already.

I was offered a retention after hardballing though, if you want a living wage, you have to pry it from your employer's cold, indifferent hands.

100k a year as a graphics programmer, got my own place in some quiet town paying 1700 rent. Tbh, I just wanted to be a run of the mill software engineer circlejerking it during daily scrum meetings, not fucking solving weird ass shit 3D math problems daily.

How much you sell her for ?

I was born in '91 and have a doctorate degree. I bring home (after taxes/benefits/retirement savings) about 90K. I live in a small-ish midwest down so this is more than enough money. I work about 45 hours a week with some weeks being much more. I chose a field in high demand (lots of scholarships/grants available) so I only took out loans for undergraduate school (about 20K) which have all been paid off.

I do work with some really cool people though. Me and my manager both talk about cryptos a lot, and he's riding pretty high on ETH after doubling his money with LTC.

My misso and I are 24, make about 130k a year between us after tax

She got a brand new car a couple years ago, mines still shit. We bought a house last year.

We pay almost double our minimum monthly payment on our house, pay all bills and maintenance easy.

Have 800 dollars a week between us for food, fuel, smokes, grog and fun.

Also have 100-200 a week spare which I invest into crypto.

We are also trying to have our first kid. I went 10x last year and hope to go 10x again before we have our first child. Once her paternity leave ends, I'll be cashing out an entire years worth of pay and quitting to become a full time crypto dad. (she earns about 25% more than me so it's more economic for me to leave)

That's if I hit my target of course.

There is no way I'm going to be paying to have my infant raised in the care of strangers at a child care each day, just to continue to work and lose half my wage to it.

>>6813089

Why the fuck would anyone live in London? Literally everyone I know there despises it, everyone is broke because of the ridiculous costs and shit-tier wages. And don't even get me started on property costs, a ridiculous fucking bubble on par with crypto. Millions of pounds for a three bedroom house, Jesus fucking Christ. The economy is shit. The people are shit. The political atmosphere is shit. The weather is shit. The weed is shit. The accent is fucking horrible on the ears. Does London have any saving grace at all? Why not get the fuck out to anywhere else in the world?

27, I take home about £1600 a month after tax working as an analytical scientist. I'd be on more were we actually employed by the big pharma itself, but we're subcontracted through a third party exactly because it's cheaper for them despite doing the same work. I can't complain though, it looks good on the CV working in R&D and doing 'proper' science and it gets me by, plus being a foot in the door for GSK later with more experience. Got a mortgage on a shoebox apartment for 450 a month, run the car and other expenses with a good bit left to save.

No one is buying in London we are all renting. Its hard to leave when you get used to it. The rest of the country seems backwards in comparison. If im leaving im leaving the UK or to somewhere else in the SE but the latter is still going to involve London.

The wages are not shit tier the UK is shit tier. Almost 99 percent of high paying jobs are in London and this city holds almost every wealthy successful person and industry and this is completely why cost of living is high.

If you want a good career and a good salary you almost certainly have to be here. Most people out in the shit bits will probably not reach my starting salary and if i ever want to earn above 50k then its probably gonna be here. And here ill do it before 30 rather than at 50.
