Would be interesting to see professions.

Some of these ages and numbers seem frickin ridiculous.

You have to take into consideration that TDings already skews much higher with people with college degrees and the MTB probably skews even higher with education and/or licenses.

For example, relatively straightforward for a guy to be 25, worked at a CPA firm for the past 3-4 years, gotten a promotion and a few salary bumps putting him in the solid mid 60s or low 70s. Yes, this is a lot relative to the average population but quite attainable.

Exactly. The majority of the posters in this thread are the minority income earners.

Me and my wife have a combined net income of $8177. I'm 24, she's 22. She's a dental hygienist and I'm an officer in the Army. Our net ceiling for our career will probably be $12-$13k and that's when we're pushing late 30's.
