How much money did you make this year?

[Zembonez]

In retrospect, the distance between the categories should have been wider and the top wage should have been much higher. Initially I was aiming at the "average Joe". Reading the posts in this place would lead anyone to believe that 60% were unemployed and the rest were flipping burgers.

The top category did say OVER 100K though.

Must be nice that so many people make 6 figures.

I'm going to give you a little advice OP.

Two things you don't ask people.

1) How much money do you make?

2) How old are you?

I hope you know enough not to ask this in real life of people.

What people tend to forget is it depends on where you live.

Bankrate has a simple to use comparison calculator.

$70k in Omaha might be laughable to some in San Francisco but to enjoy the same standard of living you would need to earn $130k in San Francisco.

$54k in Omaha is equivalent to $100k in San Francisco.

It's an anonymous poll... not exactly something to be scared of.

C-D is known for criticizing anything and everything that is posted. Absolutely nothing on this board gets past the first page without something political or critical getting spewed. I based the poll off of the fact that ONLY 17.8% of all U.S. households make more than $118,200 a year. Only 2.67% make more than $200,000. The fact that only 34% make more than $65,000 is astounding given how expensive other cost of living items have gotten over the past decade.

It figures that our snotty membership all claims to be in the elite category...

Interesting. I could take a 25% paycut and still live the same lifesyle in San Francisco.

All this tells me is that CD seems to draw a lot of wealthier (not necessarily rich) posters to its forums.

It also tells me that no one cares about the input from those people that earn something in the 90k range.

HAHAHAHA! I wondered who would be the first to see that.

Many people that earn over 100K not only have lucrative jobs but are self-employed. I'm a good example of this.
