mine is Business IT...14 years of experience...i have a bachelors and a MBA
Brehs that make over $75k, how do you stay humble?
- Thread starter Hijo de luna
- Start date
My girl humbled the fukk out of me
that is my goal...shyt the 2 big things ive been able to do this year regarding that is 1) releasing all my cosigners from my grad school loans because i pay on time and 2) a loan that i cosign for my now doctor cousin finally got paid off and bumped my credit score up along with it..so now my debt is only my debt...only a little under 29K to goI just wanna live debt free
I make about 100k, but my wife doesn’t work and we have a kid. It isn’t really “a lot of money”. It’s enough to live a comfortable life, but we still have to budget and spend wisely.
How I stay humble...I realize that no career, job or income is permanent. I have a pretty stable career and will more than likely retire in this career, but I never take it for granted. It’s never promised and most Americans are a few paychecks from being homeless. I’m just grateful that it isn’t me.

Same here...when I hired a financial advisor about 2 years ago...this was the first thing he had me set up
I manage the pay programs for my company, I see what everyone, from lowest paid to CEO makes, humbles me every fukking day

It amazes me how some people don't get the concept of passive or additional income streams that don't stop once you're off the clock or out of the building.
A solid passive income of at least $1500+/Mo is a much better feeling when coupled with that 75k+/yr. I'll never feel comfortable knowing that my money stops once I walk out the building, no matter how much I make, I'm still just a slave to the system.

After I graduated from college 08, I started entry level making $37,000. I had to get a part-time at Texas Rangers stadium to have extra cash.
Every year, I got a pay increase and by 2017, I was making $65K with that company.
I left that company last year for another company and now I'm pulling in $95K; after bonus it's $101K. This new job is less stressful.
Starting in that entry level position, humbled me and made me understand money.
I can't imagine how I would've been if I started off right after college making $75K plus.
My ex started off making $46K after college then after one year she changed jobs and started making $76K. Her spending habits changed mostly because of dumb decisions and her mooching family and she was barely making it.

Taxes and expenses humbles you quickly. Realize that as much as you make, it goes right back out with bills, etc. Looking for a side hustle in 2018 to make more money.

Man. this all day. Having only one stream of income in today's economy is very risky. That is also my main goal for 2018 - to establish 50k of passive income.

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
Some people don't give a fukk about your money. 
Plus its always someone that makes more.

Just mind my own and do the things that I like, but don't look down upon people in general.
I help out my stepmom from time to time for things around her house, but other than that, I typically don't like it when family is up in my business like that.
