[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thread with people posting they reached $100k by age 26, 27, 28, got me to thinking. Anyone here NOT earn that much (individual)?

I confess that I am over $100k, barely, but I didn't reach it until 50. My closest friends and I are pretty open, and they are in the same range - $90k to $110k. One is a publications manager in a corporation, one an accountant at a non-profit, and one a sales rep for a clothing line. [b]We are all college-educated.[/b]

How rare or typical is this?[/quote]

Having a college education doesn't guarantee you a 100k, FYI. If you have kids who are already college grads, you'd know. There are many fresh college grads working for sub 40k salary in this area and some are even on unpaid internship. You also need to consider the totality of the circumstances, mainly being work/life balance, when evaluating your income relative to your career level. Most people who reached 100k earlier on most likely sacrificed other aspects of their life.

As an aside, the kids who posted their income are a self-selecting group. [/quote]
