[NeilCartwright]

Seen my first big check in 98....

working at a fortune 500 company with great job security being part of the union

while still in college...no kids....

all i did was travel ....go to clubs and dancehalls from NYC to DUVAL....

always went on dates with my type and did nothing but ball and swipe

ride out in my big body brougham with the trues and vogues

fukked like i had no responsibility ...and commited crimes like i had immunity

fast forward i lost real money in 2008

that humbled me real quick

Y'all Nikka's are talking that smack today

Just got my first software gig at 27 an hour with Astebury & Co. everybody in my pay grade here is in their mid-late 30s..

How old were y’all when you started making a decent living

Same. I’m 26 and started a software dev job at 25 an hour. 2000/paycheck. Never seen anything like it and it’s not even that much at all

I started my cpa internship at 24 in 2013, the starting salary was 42k, a huge jump from all my previous low wage jobs.

Something solid career based that’s not minimum wage? I dunno. Obviously everyone’s personal circumstances have to be considered

Still waiting....

Still waiting to make "real money." My definition is probably different than most people on this site tho.

23, got my first real estate check for $900 for renting a 3 bed apt to three students. The checks started rolling after that

Very late 20s. A steady come up while learning financial responsibility (and flag out hustling) is tough to master. Then you get a little older and wish you had some of those younger years back for the raw power (determination) aspect alone. Every year I make more than that last.

 

[JetFueledThoughts]

Prolly this year, as far as making what I’d consider good money.

I took a jump to a new job at the end of 2015. Last year I took a slight loss, but this calendar year I literally doubled what I made in 2016.

That’s a good question. I guess it depends on your goals. Right now 25/he feels like real money because I live in a low living cost area, I can afford everything by myself if I want (though I still live with my folks ) and have enough left over to smoke and entertain hoez

2018 real money bout to be that lambo money

Exactly! Real money to me is Lambo (I prefer Ferrari) money. What I make now is cool, but my goal is millions, and not working at somebody else' company.
