39, last year. Doing the happy dance. But I'm self employed so god knows if it will ever happen again.

26, at a medium sized law firm at the time. The funny thing is I know how to do so much more now than I did then, but get paid less for it. Oh well.

Agreed! 100K hardly supports a household here!


Yeah, but there are many two income households around here. I wouldn't stay home if my husband made 100K or even 200K but since both of us are working and making semi-decent money, it's not so bad. Neither of us make six figures yet but with a HHI of about $180K we are hardly struggling.

28 -- right out of law school (obviously didn't go straight through), but then quit that job and now, at 37, still haven't gotten back to that. My current part time job would bring in over $100k if I were to go full time but I love the balance I currently have.

200 is definitely the new 100 in these parts

I thought this was funny too. In my day job as a university professor I will never break the 100K ceiling. But, in my second job as a corporate wife, I broke that ceiling when I got married (long ago at 29 to my also 29 year old DH). With all the dinner parties I am expected to throw/corporate events I have to help with, I have no problem claiming a share of DH's salary.

Now, if we want to debate why academics make squat and corporate executives make piles, I think that is a discussion worth having.
