Being a higher earner isn’t about one day you wake up and realize you are underpaid. It’s about putting in consistent effort every year to learn a marketable skill and understand what’s marketable, what kind of mind set you need to get promoted or landing a higher paid job.

It feels so far away and I feel so dumb as I wasted my twenties and thirties working in non profits for low pay.
How can I increase my income? I’m scared of facing age discrimination moving forward.
I made close to your salary at your age. I now make a little more than half that because I was out of work for almost two years.
Grow up.
