Made 100k in less than 6 months after finishing all my schooling.

Problem was that I was in school/training until I was 31.

Medical school and residency.

Not impressive for OT baller status.

I found out last night my parents put 50% more in savings than I make in the entire year. I almost puked. Granted I’m just out of college but still. The comparison was insane.

26-27 with bonuses and stock options, Then broke it with base salary at around 28. In my first 4 years I climbed up 5 positions at our company. Booming market made it easy to swing big raises. Granted, some of those positions also came with extreme stress and demand of your time. I also have an ME degree, so it's not like I started sweeping floors.

27 was my first $100k year and have been rolling since. Now at 33 our company was bought out and they are laying off all of the high earning reps.

Luckily I still live life like I make $60k. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

After 401k and taxes, take home ain't no where close to 100K.

Then you get hit up with 10% sales tax.

Sorry, 100K gross is not OT baller.

about 7 years. i have only done it twice though. i will say that i have chosen a path that doesn't maximize earning (or i'd have hit that mark 4 years in a row now)

Operator. Hit 100k at 22 a little over a year ago. I’m extremely fortunate to be in the position I’m in, especially at my age. I’ve paid off my truck (no truck nuts) and my loans from ptec. Plan to pursue bachelors in safety online when I start to get tired of the shift work.


That’s freaking awesome...




but seriously safety guy?
