[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa, I'm blown away by this thread. I make around 50K for 80% work (32 hours/week) in a museum content-related position. I adore my job (went back to school to help get it) and love working 80% time but I don't know ANYONE in real life who makes anywhere near the kind of money mentioned here. I know some lawyers but I guess not at the level of you guys. Most people I know are mid-level feds (grades 9-12 or 13) or teachers or nonprofit employees, etc. My spouse makes around 80K as a research analyst and I feel like we're really fortunate to be doing well and have some savings, but next year will be tight when we have child #2 this spring and then have 2 in daycare. This is just really eye-opening. And probably illustrates why [b]comparison is the thief of joy.[/b] [/quote]

I've never heard this quote before but it's spot on.[/quote]

Agree that is a very interesting quote.  I'm the one making 175K base and constantly am questioning whether I need to find a different job that pays better given our baseline financial commitments (student loans primarily, but also $3500 in daycare, mortgage, etc.) and "poor" status compared to everyone we know (yes yes, I know this is ridiculous I grew up in rural midwest).[/quote]
