[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. An interesting pattern is starting to show. Many of us who are not at $100k by our 30s (or, in my case, finally at $100k at 50) d[b]id not have as a primary driver the ability to make lots of money[/b]. I admit this was/is me. I wanted to use my skills and be comfortable - food is great! - but I also wanted evenings free (other than the occasional work crisis).

The lawyer friend I mentioned, who made a ton early on (and who left me in the dust)? I knew her since we were 14, and even then she said she wanted to make a lot of money. Different strokes for different folks. [/quote]

This shouldn't necessarily mean the drive the to make lots of money.  A main factor to this "ability" is whether you're working in the right field in the right time as well. [/quote]

I started making $100K before age 30.  Money wasn't my primary driver.  If it were, I [b]would have gone into law. [/b] I went into engineering.[/quote]

There's a laugh!

I'm not a lawyer. I majored in political science in college. I went in for adventure after graduation. Taking advantage of the end of the Cold War, I quit my Hill job and decamped to Eastern Europe. Started out making $25K, but was in it for the adventure not the money. Fast forward to today at 51, I'm still going living and working overseas, which was always my dream. I broke the $100K threshold probably ten years ago. Now make about $150K. [/quote]
