you broke as hell if u think making 55k is braggingHumble brag thread
When black people complained about 50k a year being a failure or u average, you been completely white wash by white America and tap dancing goons on social media
29k will be less than minimum wage if you work a 40hr week when things switch to 15+ an hrImagine making over 35k and thinking your a loser and failure
Are y’all white or never been thru shyt
I’d be happy making 29k
I’d call that a success for what I’ve come from and been thru

failure is the wrong way to think of income. you are only failing when you feel it inside. if you are happy or content, then that is the answer.
however, a man with 2 kids should probably try to get one job to pay that. when you get closer to 50, your body might not hold up like you think it will, but you will need resources to continue doing what a father needs to do. and that also means being able to spend quality time with your kids, which is obviously hard if you are working more than one job

All these words of encouragement are cool and everything, but really you should be making AT LEAST 70k a year, breh. And I mean that if you are single with no kids. A family man needs a 100k minimum. You don't really have anything to build wealth on at 55k. Federal taxes alone are eating up any "excess" you have. Then you have state tax in most states, and state without it usually have higher property tax. Those taxes are insults, really. In a lot of places, after rent/mortgage, all the insurances, car note(??), student loans and other debt, gas, you are really skruggling on "55k" (assuming that is the gross and not the net).
People are going to come behind me and call this trolling, but that is just complacency speaking. We are behind in this country and cannot be complacent. Did somebody leave you something, are you generationally wealthy and working purely for passion? If not, what the hell are you gonna do with 55k?
And NO. You are not a loser, but you have to do better, especially if you have the nerve to have a family eventually.

What is YOUR definition of failure?
Can you do what you NEED to do, with something left over to do what you WANT to do? If so, why concern yourself by someone else's idea of failure/success?

This 100%.
Most people don't make that much $$$. If you live in a big city and have friends with good white collar/trade-blue collar jobs, it's easy to think everyone is banking.
