Normally I can tell from a person's viewpoints and their posting style how much they make, of course there are plenty of exceptions (especially with lucrative family businesses, always tough to tell). I thought it would be interesting to compare and contrast the fiscal earnings of Rocket fans. Please include annual salary + benefits as well, ah the pleasures of working for a multinational conglomerate.
But why Moes? Where is the hunger? You're sharp and have an analytical mind, there's no excuse for you to be under the 50k mark.
I am the CEO of a very famous energy trading group. Would you like to buy some shares? Oh... btw. I make about $1,000,000,000 annually + Executive Benefits which sums out to $9,999,999,999,999,999,999,999.
I suspect most of the heavy earners in Houston are working private hedge funds and coming in after them are the GS traders. Finance is such an easy industry to manipulate. Information is power.
Why such a big gap at $100K to $250K? IMO those are two very separate class of people. At $100 to $150, the pay is definitely better than middle class but certainly not at point where your behavior is significantly different from average middle class. Average professional might bank that amount at sometime in their careers. Maybe a slightly bigger house and drive a better import but no overall behavioral change. However, if you're at $200K+, the careers that can pay that would suggest you'd be a "balla" in my opinion.
I wanted to make it 90-150, 150-250, and 250+ looking at the target demographic of the Hangout. But 200K isn't always "balla" if you factor in age. Lots of young professionals with a solid foundation are at $100 and can live "balla" because they have nobody to worry about but themselves. Plus good money is like cocaine when you first start earning, it's hard to be cautious with it unless you're a boring accountant. If you have 3 kids, the oldest entering college, a thirsty wife and a big house, you'll have to restrict your lifestyle even if you're at $200-250k.
Nothing. I am a broke college student with too many bills. It's like they want you to get used to working and still owing money for the rest of your life.
This year (past 12 months) I've made about 60k. Of course, I'm expecting to make significantly more next year.
this year..not employed...next year will start 35-50....and 4 years later..will be in a much higher tax bracket ....However i'll have 250+ K in debts by the end of this year..boo
