For those of you who do legit make over 100k per year, how much disposable income do you have on average?


I remember back from my first BS teenager job I pulled about $220 per week, and obviously I didnt have a house payment, but I felt like I could reasonably buy what I wanted when I wanted. Do you just have cash to burn every week?


I grew up poor so 100k per year is rich IMO

Spend it as fast as I make it. My wife stays home with our two kids, so I'm the only source of income. Still saving for retirement, college, etc.

I'm not any happier than when I made half as much (still was comfortable). I just have more stuff.

Now, if I was single making what I make now, then I would have much more disposable income. No life insurance, no family health/dental insurance ($1k/mo), no extra mouths to feed, no extra car payment, no 4X airline tickets for vacation.

strong this.

I make 75k, wife has made about 55k in previous years but she's on maternity leave this year and making half that until April. sucks living paycheck to paycheck again (well not quite that bad, but close)

but we are on track to have both of our vehicles and a personal loan of mine paid off in less than 2 years, and that will free up almost $1500/month extra, which will be fukcing amazing

Remember the Canadians and probably the Aussies are paying considerably higher income taxes on those totals. I believe any income over $100k is 50% taxable in Canada. Aren't there a few states in the US that don't have income tax at all? Damn, I'm moving there.

I'm a student and I'll probably make $30k coming out of school. My dads a geo eng making $130k and Mom's a pharm making $110k, but they pay big time income tax being Canadian. So really my families takeaway is only like $120k. But my mom has had 2 surgeries that would have cost maybe $100k in the US.. still not worth contributing to universal healthcare if your return does not equal your input/investment though. My family has contributed a lot more than we've taken out of the healthcare system.

What? No.
Highest tax bracket is 29%. In fact I think the U.S. is higher

15% on the first $42,707 of taxable income
22% on the next $42,707 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income between $42,707 and $85,414)
26%on the next $85,414 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income between $85,414 and $132,406)
29% of taxable income over $132,406

if thats how you paid taxes, you are in for a world of hurt with the penalities..

federal + provincial = 40% or more on the highest bracket. for ameri brahs their federal+state income tax might reach 40%, but thats at incomes of 360K+. not 130K like us.

I wanted to do pharm at 18. Decided it was really boring/phucked (as I think over-prescribing drugs is a HUGE societal problem.) Anyways,

Chiropractor, 70k, love it

brb 38 hour work week (srs)
brb being the boss at work 99.5% of the time (unless owner shows up for 10 minutes to get the mail and ask if I need anything)
brb seriously though, the NO BOSS OVER YOUR SHOULDER ALL THE TIME thing is huge (I don't do dumb things, I just HATE it when your boss is always there nomsaiyan)
brb goof-out and have fun with people at work...still mad productive
brb people love getting adjusted, thus they love coming to see you
brb working out at THE GYM (not doing MANUAL LABOR)...no disrespect, but I'd rather my job than making double on an oil rig or in the mines lulz
brb brbing

I actually make ish money right now relatively. Guys like my boss who own 4-5 offices and just hire recent grads...ballinghard/10. One of my friends works for a guy with only 2 offices, but his boss grosses like 700k and 1.2 mil on them. Both these bosses are in their late 30's early 40's.

don't forget federal income tax which would bring it to about 50%

Apprentice Locksmith - 21k and its pretty ****ing ****.

[zhrutlan]

Sales Consultant for Xerox.
26k base + commission + benefits
This is my first year. If I hit my quota I will make around 54k. That money is great for me, but the experience is invaluable as far as sales jobs go. The training program I went through with Xerox is one of the best sales training programs around, and I will look to transition into medical device sales after 2 years of this. Xerox on my resume is already opening doors.
