I'm your age. I make 64k. Just keep at it. Usually when people make more they spend more so just be smart with what you have. Stop comparing yourself to someone else.

Well, in my rural area that would get you a very nice home and a good life.

Its all about cost of living.

I make around 62K at 26 in an area where the average household income is $39,500. for 2019 ill make 65K.

As a result I can, own my own home and drive a brand new Golf R.

Again, all about cost of living.

are you fuking kidding? there are amazon drivers and uber cabbies with PhDs in STEM and other fields. only very few starting salarys get even close to 200k. i dont know who've you been talking to, but they're taking the piss outta you.

How do you fuck that up this bad? Accounting finance is literally a gateway to IB/Hedge Funds/B4/M&A. That's like as high as 200k a year with bonuses if you bust your ass or you could settle for a cushy industry accounting role and slowly get your CPA and make 75k in a low stress role

It's all luck. If I get in this one union, I'll be making 92k with no overtime by age 27 (ik people 1-3 yrs younger than me that got in. I'm jealous). If I don't, I'll probably be 100% fucked making 30k if lucky.

you're all idiots. everyone has a degree nowadays. they dont mean shit anymore. it used to be that if you had any post-grad qualification you were in the elite. like i say, now people with PhDs work as delivery drivers and cabbies. it's a completely differnt world to 15 years ago. top jobs are very hard to find, especially if you're not eligibale for positive discrimination etc or youre fucking the boss.

What lol. Lots of people have degrees but not many people are good at networking or applying knowledge in a work environment. If you have an accounting finance degree but dont apply yourself you're just like everyone else. But if you actually went and joined school clubs, met employers at events, worked some coops you can get a job. There might be lots of grads but there's literally millions of job postings.

Dude you really need to stop being a bitch and learn that it's your own fault. It's not nepotism, it's your own incompetence. Unemployment is low and boomers keep retiring. If you have any social skills at all you can get a job. I had 6 job offers by the time I was done college, 2 at B4, 3 at regional firms, 1 in industry and 1 analyst position, I didn't even try and get into buy side or sell side finance, I could have probably got another 2 or 3 offers. It's all about not being an autistic faggot and doing more than just sitting in a class getting a 75% average

feelings of inferiority never go away. you just keep raising the bar higher and higher for yourself. it's part of the human condition. maybe even a sign that you will make it.

I'm 27, make $40k and I'm fine with it. What do you need a ton of money for anyways? If you feel like you need "a lot" of money to be happy then paradoxically, a lot of money won't make you happy.

It’s a sign you won’t make it since you’re focused on money instead of providing value; which is the real determining factor in bringing wealth.

[Anonymous No.12546270]

I'm 24 and make 65k, slightly above the median american income, and I feel like I'm scraping by sometimes. I'm clearing about 2k monthly in pure savings but even at this rate it will take me like a decade to save up for a decent house. Not to mention kids, family and all that other shit I'd like to have some day. I'm on the right path but even so shit still looking grim boys

[Anonymous No.12546276]

>>12546208
Also
>Unemployment is low
Highly misleading.
1. Discouraged workers (people who haven't applied for a job for 4 weeks and up but want one) are not included
2. Part time and full time workers that don't make a livable wage ARE included

Bith if those together make the unemployment rates look massively better than they actually are. If a job doesn't pay a livable wage, it shouldn't even count.
Also, underemployment rates are high. 44% of 22-27 yr old college grads are underemployed.

You're literally comparing yourself to the average person. 30% of americans think fucking socks with crocs is acceptable. Half the people on the road don't even have enough critical thinking and future foresight to use a blinker. Don't compare yourself to the average person, the NPC meme is actually true. You're better than the average and if you actually give a shit about yourself and are motivated enough to improve yourself you an be successful. You may not end up some C level officer position but you can carve out a great life for yourself. My original post was making fun of the anon making 20k a year with a degree in a field that has average wages triple that amount.
