Quote HistoryQuoted: My SS statement tells the tale. 93 graduated highschool. Fucked around until joining Navy in 1998. Left Navy 2007. I don't mind sharing, especially since there are the usual naysayers in the thread. https://i.postimg.cc/1XGZqVFk/Screenshot-20231024-105606.png @JustinU235 you and I are both class of '93. You are not an older Millennial, you are on the younger side of GenX. You undoubtedly watched The Breakfast Club and other John Hughes movies, which is a defining characteristic of our generation! |

Yep.
Maxing my Roth 401k +5% match from the company. Bonus looks like 13-16k depending on end of year profit final numbers. Any salary increase should only help me max my Roth IRA faster/ more savings at this point. Feel pretty good as a young millennial. |

I broke $150k two pay checks ago.
$105k base pay Plus 10% special assignment pay Plus the company puts 11.25% of gross into 401k Plus overtime Plus whatever bonus we get at the end of the year. Last year it was around $8k...this year it probably won't be as good I also maxed out my part of 401k two pay checks ago I'm just a very early millennial electrician |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I spent a few months without a living room floor, then a few months without a dining room floor followed by a few months without a kitchen floor. Our poor old place needed some major repairs. It was nice when we finally got airconditioning at night. Texas is hot without it! Thankfully we never truly had dirt floors. My wife still walks on her tiptoes when barefoot. She grew up in a home that had plywood floors. That’s why I do what I do to make sure she never experiences that again. |

Get a CDL, find a crane company that does heavy haul and work your butt off. I drive big trucks, run specialty trailers (including the self propelled pictured) plus I have my Crane NCCCO certs. My 20 years experience as a Navy Seabee wrench bender also helped open some doors. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For all the Downtrodden doubters: Here ya Go; The Standard household achieves millionaire status. Eta, holy Fuck, I am far below my peers. All those assholes who bought heavily in Faang stocks and BC. The mean is substantially higher than the median because it is boosted by the top 10% of earners, who have a net worth, on average, of $6.63 million, according to the Fed. Meanwhile, households in the bottom 10% had a mean net worth of $5,300 in 2022. From the article Bottom 10% - $5300 Top 10% - $6.6million Median - 192k So "average American" being a millionaire is a far stretch from "typical American" |
