What cares? If you are employed by company you get a w2. The people who make real money do not have w2s. Didn’t Trump just offer some woman $15,0000 a month hush money job? If she took that job, she would not have to even show up for work. There are people on Wall Street who maillions by 22.

Hard to say what 130K is worth nowdays.
My older brother in 1987 when single in his 20s was making 55K a year he seemed to have a ton of money. My brother today makes around 550K butnot much has changed lifestyle wise
I have staff working for me making 130K and they seem very poor.
Also some professions like sales, engineering and pharmacy pay a lot to start but it is hard to keep the raises coming.

Same but I make something rather than sales, which I know makes me happier in other ways.
You have to be born to be a salesman, it’s a certain kind of life.

Who cares, OP? That's nothing.
And you ain't "balling."

save your money so you can retire early or call your shots once you have kids. both of us did and are very happy - with our savings, with our current "downshifted income" and our time with our kids. as well as travel, our house, etc.

Much more impressive when big salary and family and happy wife. Come back then
I make 190k plus benefits. Not much but that is for 20 hours work a week. Some weekend deployments but mostly just kissing up. I was making 110k at your age but it was like working 3 Freddie jobs

We live in a capitalist society. It is absolutely a competition.

OP is talking about himself. You are talking about your husband. That tells me a lot about you.
... a lot of people are talking about others. How am I different?
No, a lot of people are talking about themselves.

I was earning 250k by 29. 130 @ 27 isn't that high around here. Especially in your field.
