I live with my parents, make $150K and, according to many DCUM threads on the subject, save more than most people earning $300-400K.

THIS! My spouse and I are on the lower end for DCUM with a HHI of around 370k and we are everyday millionaires. Just a ton of cash piled up and typical boring investments (401k and a bit of real estate. Both W2.) we’re just disciplined and not fancy with money.

I wouldn’t delay life for money.

I hope people don’t become doctors just for the money.

I used to work in a hospital. I have never seen a pharma sales rep with less than impeccable looks.

Agree. I work in the hospital and pharma sales reps are always looking so put together and well taken care of.

You might save more, but it's pathetic to live with your parents as an adult. Most people have friends and personal families of their own. I would have never dated an adult living with their parents, so many problems there.

The men I know who work in big pharma are literally the tallest and most handsome men I know.

I’m only 29, but this one guy is 56 and I felt like a giggling schoolgirl around him. It was so cringe. He was so freaking attractive. He was on his FOURTH wife and had a bunch of other relationships though.

Another guy in my building worked in big pharma (and was a lobbyist) and his salary was over 1 million a year before retirement. Also a very tall and very handsome man.

Interesting..A lot of engineers are broke. For real, regardless of the field, you will not find many who even make above $200k after 20 years.

No he is smart and saving money. A lot of people get married and have kids very late these days. People nowadays have their first child at 40.

THIS! My spouse and I are on the lower end for DCUM with a HHI of around 370k and we are everyday millionaires. Just a ton of cash piled up and typical boring investments (401k and a bit of real estate. Both W2.) we’re just disciplined and not fancy with money.

No, you are not on the low end of DCUM.

+1. Many in the DMV are overpaid consultants who benefit from very large ill negotiated government contracts.
