[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you should look to your own industry and the earning potential there, and whether you're willing to follow the money. I'm a lawyer, but I'm not willing to work for a firm, so the big money jobs can't be considered a meaningful baseline for what I could possibly gain, income wise. I work for the government, and in my early 30s, I was making roughly 85K. 8 years later, I make 185K. But I'm close to the pay cap and don't expect any more salary growth. So it will be a long plateau/actual decline due to inflation eating away my buying power until retirement. [/quote]

Almost exactly this and am in my early 40s now. I was at just over $100k in my early 30s though. My spouse makes $220 now which is way more than double what he made in his early 30s. Back then he was at about $80k. We also bought a house in our mid 20s and looking back I don’t know how we swung it on what was then a HHI of $110k. I guess because we had no children to eat up our money.[/quote]
