Wealth comes from the Ratio of Assests to Liabilities.
Lotta cats make 6 mill a year but have 10 mill in bills, lol those people are poor.
Dudes need to get off of focusing purely on the salary.

You're in SF right LazyJ? What school did you graduate from if you don't mind me asking. I'm in SF as well, in audit, but neither big4 or manager level, almost 4 years experience though.Yes - both before and after tax. Still not what it used to be (i.e. making 6 figures).
I'm a CPA and work at one of the largest of the four accounting firms. I do audit, not tax, and focus in the asset management industry.
Find outlets to stash your money and forget about it - be it a IRA, investing in general, saving for a home or property. Don't keep up with the Jones' because that bell curve won't work in your favor. It's ok to live at home to stack some cash, but have a plan.
Yes, I'm very happy. Actually enjoy the folsk I work with and my clients. This is the same type of job I've had since out of college, however, not the same firm or industry. I began more real estate focused and back in 2010 or so decided to turn my attention to a different industry (current) that aligned with my interests.

that's pretty much exactly me. i was making close to 100k. hours were super long. high stress. i was single and living pretty comfortably buying all kinds of clothes and doing whatever.For facts, 100k job and stress I rather take the cozier job at 60k think that was actually a thread before. Ppl put too much focus on money and not their well being.
All "rich people" dont do the same thing for a living and many invest more so than actually do the "work" so its idiotic to think "if you arent working 50+ hrs you aint rich because thats what rich people do" like you seem to be implying.
Lot of the wealthy people I know spend their days on the golf course lol
being -4 mill in the whole is wealthy? Must be that new 2016 math.
So you wouldn't take 6mm ANNUALLY w/ 10mm of debt?
Living on 1/10th of that annual income, or 600k, you can get your debt to income ratio to less than 75% by the time the next NBA finals rolls around.
so...
again...

You have to realize to even be able to rack up $10mil in debt means you had to have been getting a lot of money or else you guys can try to see if Lenders are willing to give you that kind of credit line.
You are right. Bills =/= debt.
You can adjust your bills easily, though. You can literally sell all your assets, make zero gains, and still pay everything down over the course of a couple years.
You sound silly as **** calling someone poor that's able to generate millions of dollars a year.
But I'm not about to go back and forth.
That statement was outlandish.
If you graduate from college at 21, there is almost no way that you shouldn't be making 100k at age 30 if you stick it out with you career path and aren't a dummy.
For example, in auditing:
Staff: 55k (21-23)
Senior: 75k (23-26)
Manager: 95k (26-30)
Senior Manager: 145k (30)
This is not a realistic career path for many people.
Making 6 mil and living beyond your means doesn't mean you're poor. It means you're living beyond your means
Idk about it not being realistic, but it doesn't at all take into account the majority of the time those years are completely stretched, with people spending 5+ years at any one of those levels. Let's say you spend 7 years on the staff level...how old do you think you'll be by the time you sniff senior manager ?
that's pretty much exactly me. i was making close to 100k. hours were super long. high stress. i was single and living pretty comfortably buying all kinds of clothes and doing whatever.
my salary got slashed after we lost some contracts. we restructured and my hours are much more flexible. got married and have a kid and now i have no money lol.
it's all good though. i'm much happier. my life doesn't feel as empty as it used to. since my hours are pretty chill, i do lots of things for our family while my wife is making more than i do now and is on the fast track to a 100k salary.
i also work less than 40/week.
Yes I do. I am very happy with my life and job, and it's my only job. I work in pharmaceutical r&d. I've found that networking and developing relationships is the most valuable thing you can do. If you do that we'll and excel at your job, the opportunities will come naturally.
I'm in pharmaceutical too(Merck) with the OT I do ok. The real money maker is is pharmaceutical device sale the make a killing.
