[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm (lost, apparently) 37 and don't feel like an adult at all, and I don't have any of the things you have except a full time job (I earn less than half of what you do and don't have any of the other stuff. I feel like a fraud, like a teenager playing a game. [/quote] I'm the original poster. I got my first full-time job at your age. I worked part-time until my younger child was in first grade and we were always broke. When I was 37 I never would have dreamed I would make this much money. When I was 37 I was working part time and I made $27,757 that year (I just checked my taxes). If I use the inflation calculator on the BLS page (http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm) that translates into $41,212 in 2013 dollars. Not shabby, but nothing like what I make now. The intention of my post was not to make you feel bad or feel like a fraud! It was to try to help me understand what makes me feel like an adult. [/quote]
