Not I. 30 years old here and been making 50K or over since mid 20s. But at the end of the day, salary means nothing. It's just a consumption indicator. People make $100K and be broke. People make $40K and stack. Depends on one's lifestyle, location and values. So, anyone who values their salary like it's wealth is ignorant to be quite honest.
Also, too many people shoot themselves in the foot before they even get started with that "education" racket. You got people out here with Master's degree making 40 or 50. If that's you, you made a big mistake. Because most of those people came from lower to middle income family backgrounds and truly believed education means something. So, they spent 100 to make 40. And they start off with a mortgage on their neck.
And to add insult to injury, these people generally get into fields that are middle income at best at their peak....teachers, social workers, etc.
It's funny because I took my mom out for her birthday this past weekend. She's about to retire. Makes $80K plus with an Associate's Degree. Her boss makes $90K plus with an Associate's Degree, but her boss is going back to school to get her bachelor's because she "always wanted to get her degree." I couldn't help but laugh my ass off at the table.
This woman is married to a retired dude with good income, makes damn near six figures, is already in management, is not too far from retirement and is still buying into the "education" trap. Taking on debt and stress to feel "educated."
Kinda went a bit off topic, but I laugh when I read people talk about education in these types of threads as if that supposed to guarantee them a comfortable financial life with a high salary. N#ggas need critical thinking skills. If you spent 100 for that degree, you need to know with certainty that your field will pay you that within 5-10 years.
Otherwise, you're going to live the life of a sucka
And reading some of these responses, some people living that life right now
Peace
