Given all the talk about six figure incomes not keeping up with inflation, and the threads on high six figure truckers and tradesmen, I thought this poll would be interesting.
Include only your income, not your spouse's. If you get a 401k match, include the match. |

Voted no. My spouse clears six figures barely but that is with two jobs. Combined we make over 150. We live in a low cost rural living area though.
|
|
$124k salary
$10k 401k match $8k bonus Just under your $150 mark but still under so I marked no |
|
with LTI, bonus and 401K match, maybe just barely.
More likely $145ish. |
|
No overtime should have made about $84,620 with OT this year I’ll be around $88,800 to $89,130.
The county matches 6.20% |

No. Just to clarify business retained earnings don't count? Not that it matters this year anyway.
|
|
Started a knife sharpening side hustle, so between doing that, my day job and mixing bands, yes.

Nope, I'm a stay at home dad. But my wife is a pharmacist for the VA. Next year might be over $150k for her between the federal employee COLA and the step/grade increase. And before you start talking about how all fed employees are shit and don't deserve their salaries, she is a clinical pharmacist who helps vets live longer and watches out for them. One if the few jobs I think are actually worth it.

Quoted: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/14563/IMG_8662-3002675.jpg About 20% of the country makes over 150k View Quote That's gross household. Most people in decent jobs with a working spouse do that. |

I'm 27 and in rural Alabama.
I'll make about $80k after overtime and bonus, base pay is $74k. My wife should make $68k. Not even close. |

between two jobs, my IT day job and playing poker nights and weekends.

If I could get these cars out for sale I'd be getting there.
My goal is to get to making $300,000 a year within 5 years slinging cars. I'll need to hire some help though. |
|
I answered no as I will be $356 short of the threshold per OPs calculation.
|
|
Anyone that doesn’t earn over 150k a year in base wage needs to get off GD right now.
No place for such peasants!! |

2023:
$177k salary $28k stock (sold at vest) 50% 401k match 2024: $177k salary $97k stock (assuming current price) 50% 401k match Wife stays at home with the children. |

Quoted: If I go over, I become a "highly compensated employee" which means they limit my 401k contributions next year, which means I can shield(or at least defer) less income from taxation. View Quote You can't FSA, HSA, or other pretax spending get around it? Eta: looks like nope. Are you in the top 20% in pay at your company? |

No, not even with 401k match, I'm just a blue collar POS.
I like these threads though where everyone making over 150k sitting at a desk assumes everyone who's not is a lazy retard. |
|
Quoted: Why do you mention "high six figure" jobs and then draw the line at 150k? Wouldn't high six figures be more like 700k? 150k is barely into six figures. View Quote I know very few people who are pulling a true high six figures annually. |
|
I already have, I also took several months off to help my wife recover from surgery.
I’m very fortunate, but it took a decade of working a lot for very little to get to this point. |
|
65k base
90k commission 10k bonus 9900 401k match 62k wife salary |
|
I made about $17,000 and my wife is around $75,000 at a job she loves.
My days are creative for the most part.. I'm sitting having coffee and trying to find pure helium so I can finish tig welding a cast aluminum pto casing for my dumptruck. Filled up vats for my 3d printers, printing a HO scale crane today. Run by a friend's house later to help him change a hydraulic hose on his backhoe. Debt free is how we stay comfortable. Took us years to figure that out..lol |
|
WTF I won't even make half that. No wonder this website hates "that thar socialism talk" you're all a bunch of rich boomers.
|
|
|
I make 147k, wife makes 154k.
If I count my VA disability as income then yes my total is around 175k. |
|
Data mining all the things!
I should pull about $255k by end of year. |
|
No way. Never have made over 60k ever. Retired now and making about 35k. And I'm very happy with that.

Quoted: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/14563/IMG_8662-3002675.jpg About 20% of the country makes over 150k View Quote That's household, Aimless, which Jacufrost was excluding. This isn't a cheap hobby. And its participants (plus discussion boards in general) skew older. Older people have had longer to build wealth. Some of you have some serious cash tied up in it. Not surprised, considering all the above, that this population skews higher with income and wealth, than the US population as a whole. |
|
Personally, no, but I'm not "working" right now, either. I'll earn anywhere from 40-80k as a stay-at-home dad with two kids.
