How much do you make?

i think phil collins drove an old gremlin and did his own oil change while he was a superstar.

JARblue · 10-04-2013, 04:03 PM

Is this household income or me personally? My wife's an accountant and makes almost double my salary. However, I drive the Z as my daily and I work for myself. You can't tell me I'm not happy

If that's true that's awesome!

My wife runs my house she takes care of the bills and budgets. My Z build is one of them and I know you guys may be surprised but the Z is the last thing that I worry about. Even before I purchased it I made sure that my family had a house, car, and a few luxuries. Before I ever purchased the Z. Even today I get $20 every pay day for whatever I may want. Everyone trips out on that. But I don't drink or party so I really don't need any money. But through our sacrifices over the years we've been able to obtain a comfortable lifestyle.

yah, long time ago (maybe 20+yrs ago?) i remember reading about it in a music magazine that he is a real simple down to earth kinda guy.

on getting priorities straight. i take a tad more allowance then that every month, but i never go beyond my budget either.

In some areas you can make 100K and be very middle class, in other areas you can make a 100K and be rich. Polls like this are subjective plus I have found from doing these most people lie about what they make.

Exactly I would be living like a king if I lived say in Virginia but here in west texas. I'm just a middle class guy.

If I could do it over that's what I'd do. Not much money but you get things you can't buy with money. The satisfaction of saving a life or a lifetime's memories. Time ... You work 48 hours and get 4 days off (or something like that) The rest of us wage slaves work our 40-60 hours a week with 2 days off and a three week vacation if we're lucky. Firefighters and teachers get time. That's a priceless commodity.

My uncle is a captain for LA Fire Dept. He works 10 days (24 hr shifts) a month. He makes 120k a year at 47. Started when he was in late 20's or something. He will retire in 5 years and will be making 120k till the day he dies.

Ill take it...

This much.

Seriously though, how much one makes is only a piece of it. If they make a ton but still have debts and bills to pay, it's a wash and does not mean much. Gotta go deeper than what one makes. Look at your savings rate, cash flow, investments, debt, life expectancy, etc. I laughed when I read the post.

Are those Monthly figures AFTER taxes??
