My pay stubs don't have a salary YTD section so I'll say more than $50,000 and less than $100,000. Plus my wife's salary.

Quote History

Quoted:
Grossed $135k.
Spent $50k in cost of goods sold.
I'll end up at about $10k in business expenses.
So little over $70k net.

I'm on IT consultant and work on average 3-4 hours a day.

I have a great setup, love my freedom of schedule and I make a decent wage for not working alot.

I dont let money/work rule my life/schedule. Feels good.

Nice! Working all the damn time is no way to live.

haha... maybe 25k....

Spent most of the year laid up sick with a massive UC flare up, then things finally seemed to turn around when I got hired on a local FD(my dream job), then I fucked my shoulder up during training and got dropped from the academy...

A 500 dollar increase in our taxes was enough to go from "Finally starting to bank some money again" to "fuck what bills can I push off for a month this time...."

Merry fucking Christmas.

I pay myself a salary of $200,000. I work 3-5 hours a week. That doesn't go far in Southern California and I could make a ton more working for a corporation, but they'd suck my soul dry. I'd rather have the downtime while I'm still somewhat young. Joint replacement sales in case you were wondering.

Something like 18k.

Full time student in my last year and working 15-17 hours a week.

I’m living paycheck to paycheck right now. But I also am going to graduate with absolutely zero student loan debt and get into a career where I can make a good living and start saving right away.

I’m happy with that.

Will wind up being ~ $120k

I think I did pretty good and put my wife and myself through graduate school without loans. Hope to be making more next year with better jobs after checking her M.B.A. box and my M.S. in aviation. Should double what was made this year. Put over 60K in the bank.

I have dozens of dollars in the bank. Literally, dozens and dozens.
