discussion Finally joined the Six Figure club!

[Element]

Congratulations!! I'm turning 26 next week and also having my yearly pay discussion. Supposedly there's a raise coming and I'm close to 6 figures... so I'm really hoping to pass that threshold next week too!

 

[Taste of Honey]

Congrats. I hope one day I can make more than 60k, but all my needs are met so I guess I'm fine?

Yeah, don't fall for all of that if you're happy and comfortable, sis. 60k is incredible

Americans really set unrealistically high salary

 

Only C-level get 6 figures here in Europe. And most ppl live fine with less than half of that

Anyway, I’m aware London is expensive as I literally live here and work in Westminster, yes making over $100k is obviously worthwhile but my point remains that you do need to make that much to live comfortably here at all as very few people under 35 even make that much and do just fine.  Most people who actually live in London and have experienced it would not say that:

Exactly  And don't most Americans have like thousands of student debt as well?  

 

Imagine saying making less than 100k is living in poverty

congratulations! the system over here is so different, so interesting!

I wouldnt say that. My London and Barcelona counterparts make the same salary as I do and we are not in the C-level (unless you count attorneys as c-level people by general nature). The average American salary is still around 52k. Comparatively, average British wage is 49k,  Spain is 29k, 50.5k for Germany,  42.5 for France, 67.5k in Australia,  73,050 in Canada (Jesus christ the **** am i doing in the Us). The US isnt even that out of place to Europe compared to Aus and Canada.

But American salary is extremely skewed between high-paying and low-paying jobs (like waiter's salaery is embarrassing ). So using avg is not accurate. Far more people in the US have six figures (like in this thread) while it's very rare in Europe, even if you work for like let's say Google or Microsoft

We did it kids 

 

As a senior citizen (26 yo) I finally bagged a job with a salary of $120k a year with a 10% annual bonus. Life's been super good work wise fortunately for me even though it started off ROUGH.

 

Graduated college in 2017 with a biology degree and these have been my salaries since:

 

2017: $20,000/yr (TX) - I was MISERABLE  

2018: $36,000/yr (CA) - Paycheck to paycheck as my CA is in LA  

2019: $58,000/yr (CA) - Finally when I could breathe financially and wasn't completely paycheck to paycheck

2020: $72,000/yr (CA) - When I was finally financially comfortable to buy things I wanted without worrying about bills.

2021: $78,000/yr (CA)

2022: $120,000/yr (TX)

 

 

The GROWTH  Time to buy all the Kpop albums from 2017-2019 I skipped out on

 

The way I was paycheck to paycheck in 2017  . 

 

And In TX

78,000 in Cali to $120,000 on TX is like quadrupling your salary.

 

Expect to live like an almost millionaire in TX bro (unless u’re in Austin)

 

Congratulation!

Hard work pays!

A good education is well worth the cost.
