Almost 500k a year ain’t generational wealth

I'm not agreeing with OP here in every sense but this made me laugh so hard.

What exactly qualifies as generational wealth for you?

Torina has been paid between $410k-$440k the last 3 seasons now I believe. If she averaged $425k over the last 3 years that's $1,275,000 over 3 years (2021-2023), with her set to get another $435k-$445k over the next 3 years which is another maybe $1,320,000. So over 6 years you're talking her making about $2.6M or $432k per year. Someone making that kind of money is probably netting around $300k/yr and should EASILY be able to save/invest at bare minimum $75k of that, really $100k. If that person is not saving or investing almost any of that, that's on them.

If you dont think making well in excess of $400k/yr for a 6 year span (also making 6 figures for many years prior to that as well) isn't helping generate some generational wealth you must think she spends all her money or something because that ABSOLUTELY should be generating some generational wealth for her family.

Crazy what some people think of as generational wealth. If you come from a humble lower/middle class background then suddenly are making mid six figures for a number of years, that's absolutely some generational wealth for your family if you dont totally screw it up.

As soon as the Fargas departure was announced, more often than not, you would hear: “ Torina will be next if she doesn’t start winning games beyond the Regionals. She just can’t win the big games”

Eta: is leaving behind multiple millions of dollars not generational wealth?

---

No. Generational wealth means your children and their children will not need to work and won't have to touch the principal of what you leave to them. That isn't going to happen on a $500k salary.

Why is a softball coach paid 500k is, I dare say, a reasonable question?

Since you asked me, I'll answer that I suppose it's because somebody believed she was worth $500,000 a year as a softball coach. Whether they were correct or not, I have no idea.

She’s what, 45? If she coached at LSU for 20 more years any financial advisor that isn’t a complete fricking moron will see to it she will make millions investing.

Dude, take the L on this. $500,000 salary gets taxed at about 35%, leaving $325,000. Remember, she has to live on that. If she is frugal she is saving $150,000 per year.

Even if she did that for 20 years, that is only $3 million. Sound investing would probably make that worth $5 million in today's dollars. Then she has to support herself for about 20 years after she retires. She would be lucky to pass on two or three million bucks.

Only a chump would call that generational wealth, which is so much wealth that it will support multiple generations.

Yea, you definitely made that up.


Look, if she were a Dr making that, no one would have beef with someone saying she is set up for her family to be generationally wealthy. And im sure being a state employee has some perks as well.

But their kids and grandkids are still going to have to get jobs.

Yes, they may have to get jobs. But they would not be starting from scratch as they would have generational wealth passed down to them upon which to build and (hopefully) pass on even more generational wealth to their own kids and grandkids. That's how generational wealth works.

I don't know if there is a term for "you and your kids and your grandkids will never have to work again"; but if there is such a term, "generational wealth" ain't it.
