[quote=Anonymous]I went from $80k in my early 30s to $170k by early 40s to over $500k in early 50s. All same corporate. Those who say you can’t progress in one place… not true. Have to choose employer well, work hard, be strategic, find your niche and yes be lucky. Husband was more erratic, but also went from $100k in early 30s $150k in 40s to over $500k last year. Big jump primarily from live from small consulting into big tech. At this point just trying to hang in there a few more years and stash as much as possible. We always were conservative though- didn’t borrow as much for mortgages as the bank said we could have. This was due to job instability primarily but also just risk-averse nature. If one of us were to lose their job, which did happen (twice) we didn’t want to worry about paying the mortgage. [/quote]
