I hit $125k (UK) at 35yo 4 years back. Felt good. Had increases since then but £ is so weak now its only about $110,000. Plus im almost 4 years older. Life is ok, 2 kids though drain resources heavily!

I'm a union tradie in the Bay area. You have to miss quite a bit of work to get under 100k a year. Completely serious and that is just the pay not including all the fringe benefits including our vacation check bonus and whatnot

Lots get there working extended hours, I’ve seen firefighters in my city make over 100k just in OT alone sickening. I’m near $150k total comp just putting in standard 40 hour weeks, this isn’t anything glamorous when Uncle Sam takes near 35% and CA col takes everything else.
Besides most coworkers, half my family is poverty with no education on unemployment right now, the other has advanced degrees from top prestigious schools raking in coin ($350k).

I’m in nyc. Unfortunately 100k per year really isn’t that much. The median income in some of the nicer neighborhoods like west village is 800k/year, no exaggeration

Pretty much everyone I went to university does because it is a rich fuk school with great job placement. I'm closing in on six figures and will arrive on my next position, but probably among the lowest of my fellow graduates.

UK bro so 6 figures GBP is a really high salary and very few people make that esp outside of the city. I make about £80k in a highly specialised engineering field and even that most people will never come close to. Median is like £27k or some ****.
I know higher ups in my company who make 100k+, my parents (doctors with 40 yr exp) and some of their friends, a couple of my friends in IB, otherwise no one lol.

Live near Bay Area so I don’t know anyone. Unless you count the bar tender at the local dive bar who’s a buddy.
I exceeded 200k when I was 25. Most people have 6 figure bonus grants even. Wouldn’t imagine pretending to cope on a 5 figure W2.

I don't know any under 35. Which is crazy b/c everyone under 35 on the misc is making over 100k. Guess that's just a weird coincidence I guess.

This is my setup right now with six years of experience, on the mangement side

The LOA alone is almost $29k a year tax free without working any days on top of a 10/4 rotation

But most of my high earning contacts were the ones I met in the work world.
My question to you is: why do you care? Do you think your life would improve if you met more people that, say, have 100k cash in hand p.a after all is said and done (taxes, other commitments/contributions/investments)? If so, why?

That said I do think that hanging around people who make that amount would be a good influence.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Under 35 I know a few, but only one person outside of medicine. His dad owns a large company and he works for it. The only other people I know that make more than that barely do and live in SF or Silicon Valley and their salary is actually almost at the poverty line there even though they break 100k easily.
No one that I know in any other field has broken 100k by 35 in the southeast No joke.
Further, I grew up in an area where almost all of these people’s parents made at least $150k a year.

$100k/year after taxes is about $6200/month, or $5300/month if you contribute 10% to a retirement plan.
If you're single and spend $2k/month on a fancy apartment, $600/month on food, $100/month on gym/netflix/spotify, and $800/month on transit, that leaves you roughly $1800/month in savings. And that's if you spend like a complete *******.
Personally? My expenses in a major city are as follows:
Rent/utilities - $1800
Food - $400
Gym/Netflix/Spotify/Phone - $125
Total - $2325
I pocket about $3400/month or $40,800/year. The expenses I haven't listed are clothes ($2k), entertainment ($3k), and travel ($5k). So I'm saving $31k/year in cash and another $15k/year in retirement. 10 years of that would net me something like $500k cash, significant equity in my condo, and much more in retirement, assuming I stay single.
How the fuk are you saying $100k isn't a lot? I'll tell you how - because you probably spend money like a typical basic bitch.

Salary is one component to wealth
Wealth is built when you take the money you have over at the end of each week / month and save and invest it
If your expenses are high, then you won't have much money left over even on $100k
So the real factor is, how much do you save, whilst living a relatively comfortable lifestyle?
