pwd72s is exactly correct. It's not how much you make it's how you spend it. I make a moderage salary and consider myself doing fairly well. Three nice cars paid for no other debt but my house, don't even have a credit card, and I'm only 30. It's all about money managment and living on less than you make, something not many can do, especially based on all the hooking credit cards seen to do all the time. By not having any "payments" each month I have plenty of money left at the end of the month.

Think of it this way...money paid in interest is money gone for nothing. It does nothing to benefit you, but it sure makes others happy. The joy of that new toy (like a car) fades...usually before the payments end. Financial happiness is not paying interest...and things get even happier when others pay interest to you.

Since many posters seem to have multiple sports cars, lavish lifestyles in expensive places, and lots of time for hobbies and travel....It seems that they would make more. Especially those who live in expensive places like CA.

I am not going to participate because w/ my low income this year it would skew the poll towards "ghetto", and we can't have that in Pelican land.
I might hold the record for high income in ratio to time, however. I once made $200k for 2 hours work. That loot is long gone. Adios!

Sorry, not even Jenna Jameson makes that kind of dough, unless she was blowing Clinton or something.

"Household" is second from the top - might get bumped into third from the top if I do well this year or take another job with better salary or get more seriously into investing (I'm pursuing a few leads. . .)
"Net worth" is solidly in the negative and will probably be there for the next 5-10 years (student loans suck).

I seem to be in a minority, and my wife has a negative income. Man, if she would just get a good job, we could move up 1 bracket in the poll.

When I had a job I was in the first bracket, but not anywhere close to the break-off point.

The internet is like Lake Wobegone where all the men are handsome, all the women beautiful and all the children above average.

Paul, you are a rich man - rich in wisdom, experience, admiration and personality (now, do I get dibs on your car when you die?). Just kidding...about the car thing...well, sorta...

PHC quote for the day...
