I get the curiosity. We live in an area where it seems like so many people make a lot of money -- I often wonder what all these people do. It seems crazy that the area can support all of the high earners, since I assume for every high earner, a company has many, many low or mid-range earners.

I wonder the same thing when I drive around super rural areas that are too far to be commutable to an urban area -- what do all these people do to support themselves? So it's not just wondering about rich people, but people generally.

OP, my husband is in consulting and makes above $400k. Works crazy hours and travels a lot.


There's no hostility at all. I also can't understand why a person would want to know how to make $400k per year or more instead of $1mm per year or more.


Why is $1m your cut off? Why not $5m? Yikes!


$1mm isn't my cutoff. I make more. $5mm isn't my "cut off" either.

Maybe $400K is what OP thinks they need to live comfortably or for one person to give up their job - doesn't need a million or think that is achievable?

Better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit your target.

Why not this amount? Yikes.


Isn't it clear? If you're interested in dreaming about making a bunch of money, wouldn't it be more wise to read the thread where people are making more than a million $ per year? This isn't a difficult concept.

Are you a partner in a law firm (big, medium or small)? Are you a surgeon? I'm so curious to know what you do to bring in such a large salary.
