making more money than your parents did
 

Anyone here born poor to middle class and doing way better than your parents did in terms of financial?

My parents make 500k and im at about 50k. Feels bad:(

Poor to middle class.

Makes a combined $500K.

Did I just read that? :fuckthatshit:

if you can't beat em, join em.

op r u Hyde's long lost cousin?

that's why you're not making more than your parents you're unrealistic

I currently make more then my parents have ever made combined. Feelssortabadman when I realize how much of a struggle it must have been raising two kids on this income.

If you are over 25 years old and still making less than 50k, you should reconsider you career bro!

I'd say $100K by 25yr old, $500K by 30s, and $5mil+ by 40s would be considered "acceptable".
These numbers are by no means great, maybe average? There are a lot of people here making 10x these numbers!










:troll:

no dude.
if my kid ain't making 100k by the time he's 20. he/she's getting kicked outta the house.
I better damn well see him/her making 10mil by 30... disown that fucker
:concentrate:

I was reading this going "WTF... this is bullshit..." and then I saw the troll. And then I realized I got trolled.

I only make enough to feed the car, thats why I live at home :pokerface:

Their money went a lot further back then but at the same time, it's pretty amazing to think they spent so much on us.

never finished school in the past spent alot of money partying/drinking/clubbing/gambling and all that stuff

Im in the same boat, I never complained about it really...
sometimes, its about being SMART with the money earned rather than how much

I make about tree fiddy million, OP u mirin?

This must be the 10th stupid ass post this week. Looks like the summer brings out all the freaks.

I typed up a long story about coming up in a poor family, but I realized that this is a troll thread.

TL;DR is that I'm earning more than my folks did/do. But it wasn't that hard to do.

thats why ya dont have kids :ilied:

but yea, when your rents have any sort of VP/CEO type job, unless you put a tonne of effort into your life your probably not going to overtake them unless you work wayyy harder than they ever did

:okay:

if u make a lot less than ur parents theyre prolly loaded and your broke and proviledged ass feels useless. if u make a lot more than ur parents they dont stfu about how they raised u on a combined income of 40k and still had enough money to put to savings leftover, unlike your restaurant-eating ass. lose lose man

:troll:

same boat. I made more money last month that my mom probably will in 6 months.

And I just think back to growing up how it never felt like anything was missing or life was tough but now that Im older I realize how tough it must have been for my mom to be a single mom raising a kid.

And that's a good bit of the motivation why I work so damn hard because I want to have a good situation for my family

Unless you live a lifestyle where you need to show off to other people how ballin' you are; or if posin' is your primary goal in life, then yeah, you're not making enough.

For the normal people, $50k annual is an adequate number to live a happy life. Don't get caught up in some of the sentiments here that you need to be ballin' to be happy; or to be a man.




Apart from gambling, I've spent the better portion of my life to date the same way.

However, just because this isn't considered as "traditional" education doesn't mean that this time spent is a time wasted. This type of experience I consider as auxiliary education. And what I mean by that is that you develop social, survival, and various other soft skills.

In the professional world, I've seen highly technically and educationally qualified people being overtaken by an individual who may be less qualified but is high on the skills you probably possess.

Ideally, it's good to have a good balance of both, but to have one or the other doesn't make you a non-worthy individual either.

don't forget about spending on girlfriend :okay:
