The average Black man in America makes around 42k if you're making more that be grateful.
Is 39 making 185k a year successful?

See, we should be congratulating each other in this thread, and helping others brehs to eat, but we got haters and others bragging and so forth. I like to see others the same color as me winning.

Anyone who has money as a goal has lost at life.
Money by itself is worthless. At best it's the means to the goal, not the goal itself. If your primary goal in life has been to earn a certain salary or reach a certain net worth, and the most meaningful thing you do with it is engage in whatever conspicuous consumption the corporate advertizers have told you to waste it on this year, then you might as well have done nothing at all.
The one time in my life I got to speak to Cornell West face-to-face he was telling me that the Black youth need to learn to differentiate between "success" and "greatness". He said that the word success has become so wrapped up in materialistic goals that it has become meaningless. If you focus on material success and fail then you've slaved away for nothing, and if you succeed then even the achievement is hollow and empty because it has no impact on the world beyond yourself.
Brother West suggested pivoting towards greatness instead, actually trying to make something of your life that will distinguish your legacy. Even if you fail, the very act of working towards being a better person will have been a positive contribution to the world.

I'll Take The Money Over The Honey
Don't listen to @Rhakim about money, bro is a bum who spends all his time on the internet than making money in real life, he couldn't keep a roof over his head.
Good job exposing yourself as a dumbass who doesn't even know how financial matters work. They kicked us out so they could move the rent up when the stadium came in - due to rental laws they're not allowed to spontaneously double the rent on existing tenants. The only way they're allowed to make a substantial rent increase like that is if they close down the building, "renovate" it, and then reopen it later at the new prices. No one in the building stays regardless of whether they can afford to pay the new prices or not.
But no, I wouldn't have paid $2750 to live on West Beach Ave either way, that would be pointless especially since I had no desire to be surrounded by the type of people who were about to move into those apartments at the new prices anyway. We had no problem securing a nice place to move in immediately and welcome the birth of our baby daughter there, so don't be a clown and talk like I've ever had the slightest problem providing for my family.
Imagine how pathetic a life you must be living that you need to spend more time talking about my life than having anything to say about your own.
I got negged for saying I reached my goal of over 200k lol
Money is a tool. You can use it to solve problems, alleviate pains, make it work for you, and yes buy shyt.
It's just easier to have a good amount within reason to do all of the above. If you can maximize the value of your skills to the market without losing health, sanity, and sever close relationships then by all means pursue getting more of it.

I'm curious as to where all the 200K people live, because location is almost as important as the salary itself. If you making 200K in like NYC or the Bay Area for example, you're not really making 200K.
No hate though

No need. I'm 6 figures, 6 certs gang myself, but location is still an important factor in overall salary.
