1995-$25k with benefits and profit sharing.

I was going to save all my money and retire at 50. Boy, was I wrong!

$47,000 in 2002 had the buying power of about $90,000 today. You were doing pretty well baw

1992 - a little more than $40k, which was fine, but with a little bundle of joy on the way, pretty tight. The SO was making about $30k, so we were fairly comfy.
