[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make $415K doing investor relations for a software company and my spouse makes $450K leading a comms group at a bank. We both switched jobs during the great resignation and it boosted our income a lot. Neither one of us set out to make money after college so it has been a mindset shift and a career shift that has been driven by having kids. I’m 36 and he’s 40. A lot of people around here have family money that has helped them get where they are so I find comparisons are useless because you may be working a lot harder than your peers and wondering why you still can’t afford what they can and many times it’s as simple as someone else started on third - college and grad school paid for, wedding paid for, car paid for, childcare paid for, partial down payment provided, etc etc and then to top it off their parents pulled strings to get them their first job during the Great Recession when you were working in a temp job for $10 an hour.

You’re within spitting distance of $1M HHI and are worried you can’t afford the things other people can?? What are you buying?!?[/quote]

Our income is $875K now. It was about a third of that in 2019 when we had our first child and we were living in a higher cost of living area (nyc). I want to provide a great life for my kids, pay for their education, and leave them an inheritance. So we’re “buying” a life with less financial anxiety and friction for our children. I hope we can make over $1M by the time I’m 40. Having kids made me realize that if I’m going to work instead of being a stay at home mom that I want to make as much money as possible. [/quote]
