I was making $100K before Trump.
And $85K is still $35K more than everyone else at my company. I'm rich *****!
Of course I don't have a stay at home wife, kids, student loans or a mortgage.
It's not what you make Papa it's what you save. I will have over $1 million dollars before I hit 60. Isn't that good? If you don't think $85K is good, perhaps that's why you are a Republican. You think they help people who make $100K? They don't.
Where do you fall?
50-somethings
- Average net worth: $1,132,532 (ages 50-54), $1,442,075 (ages 55-59)
- Median net worth: $272,800 (ages 50-54), $320,700 (ages 55-59)
I'm in between but should get to $1,300,000 by age 59.
That's pretty good I don't care what you say. I'm considered upper middle class but only because I live alone. One wife who doesn't work or one kid, straight to the middle class.
My brother is rich. Not me. But that too makes me rich. When I go up north to his hunting property, or to his wife's home in Greece, or when I stay in their Florida condo, I stay free.
But don't think I'm a mooch. You know the pontoon I have on the lake? Yes I live on a lake. My nephews and my brother are constantly using my boat. They ask if I want gas money I'm like **** NO! Do you ask me to pay the bills when I stay a month in your place in Florida, or up north? Nope. Then you never have to put gas in the boat.
That's what I contribute. Because I'm not rich. My brother wants me to retire early so he tells me to save my money.
