[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like everyone who discloses their income makes over $200K as an individual/$400K HHI.

I'm sure you realize how exceptional you are, given that even in high-cost, high-income areas, you are the cream of the crop. What exactly is it that you do? Are you all big law partners and plastic surgeons? C-Suite executives? And you have time to trawl around internet forums during the work day?

I felt like I scored when I landed a six-figure job in my early 30s. I still live pretty modestly, especially since I'm single. I make enough to have a condo, a car, and a dog. I still make above the median FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD income in MOCO as a household of one. I have a great job at a great company.

And yet... here you all are making multiples of what I make. And I know there has to be some truth to that, because the cost of SFHs require those kind of incomes. So somebody is making that kind of money, lots of somebodies. I don't feel myself a slouch making $130K at 35, but I don't see myself on track to making $300K anytime soon. In fact, and it could be a degree of imposter-syndrome here, I'm worried that if i ever did get laid off, I'd have trouble finding a similar job for similar pay, and I face the issue that if I continue to get promoted, I'll be too expensive and more likely to be cut. So what are all these uber-lucrative jobs around here? We can't ALL be senior management and executives. Where are all these crazy-paying jobs (and how can I get one?) [/quote]

OP, many of these couples had constant family help, with parents paying for their colleges, weddings, house, kids private school, some even have their parents paying for their vehicles - of course they seem rich! [/quote]
