CTCL BA, Ivy MPA - 125K until I had to step out of work force due to family needs
NESCAC BA, T15 law school - 900K + bonus (not a practicing attorney)
800-1,000,000 HHI when both in work force or 900K now + substantial bonus. This earn rate is relatively recent. Both worked in nonprofits/government sector for approximately two decades. Outside of school tuition, our burn rate is probably much less than most people in this bracket.

keep in mind the median HHI in the country is like $55-65k. These numbers are are huge outliers.
keep in mind that less than 1/3 of people in the US even have a college degree

I agree that HHI isn’t that telling unless you know the bigger picture. Our income is about $800k, we went to NESCAC schools and my husband has an MBA. He earns a bit more than me in salary/bonus but my stock makes up for it. I work in tech but was an English major btw.
That being said, we don’t have any family money and we made big jumps in the past 5 years (now early 50’s) so we don’t have huge savings given tuition etc.
We do just fine but would be much better off had we come from families that could have helped us in the very lean early years. Friends of ours who had that support are in a much better position. It is nuts that you can make around $800k in this area and feel like you’re not that well off but it happens.

Not to mention that most posters are probably huge liars.
Maybe not. Need more info like family wealth and connections.
