All I can say is that an associate degree mechanical engineer in Ohio with lots of experience in automation makes much less than some of you guys! Good thing my house is paid off and I like fiddling with old used German cars!
I make under 60, but I do have a side business that adds to the coffers.
The company I have worked for 16 yrs for may soon go under, so I guess I will have to take a less comfy job or start working full time at home.....kind of scary with one daughter starting college in the fall and a second is one year away!
One thing is for sure, I WILL NOT move and being debt free, I can get by driving a truck or swinging a hammer if I have to.
