[quote=Anonymous]OP, you’re not that unusual. If you married someone making your salary, your HHI would be $270k. That’s in the ballpark of a lot of the people you’re looking at.

To go higher up the scale, you need to commit to a career pathway and understand its career ladder. Then, start working toward the next step. That may require taking on a larger project, leading a project, presenting to management, learning new skills, etc. As you have more experience and skills, you look for a promotion within your firm. If that doesn’t exist, you exit to another firm that provides that opportunity. In your next role, you do the same thing. If both you and your spouse work like this, both of your incomes will advance rapidly and so will your HHI.

The problem with most people is they don’t want to put in the extra effort to assume more responsibility and grow their skills. Instead, they want to rest and get promoted. Generally, it doesn’t work that way. The other hope is that a spouse (usually the guy) will sacrifice his heart and soul for the sake of his family’s honor and slave at BigLaw or something comparable and make $500k+ by himself.
