I only make $28/hr at 25yo.
>>62282132i was making 13/hr at 25
>>62282140Why?
>>62282132Its still 2017 in my world so that's not too bad
>>6228214928/hr is good nigger stop crying u will move up and make more after a bit of time
>>62282132I'm 29 and only making $20.50/hr (converted to usd that's $14.80). My college degree only made me poorer
>>62282161I hope your right buddeh
>>62282167Ahahahahaha no wayMy shitty retail job that I got with zero experience pays 15.75 God I love being American
>>62282167where the fuck do u live? my college degree took me from poor to slightly less poor i went from 13/hr to a modest 25/hr and then 32/hr
>>62282132what part of the country? this has to be west coast or east coast... no way anyone is complaining about that rate in the great states of the south.
>>62282132That's how much I make but I live in Texas so it rocks.
>>62282132>make $21/hr at 22>make $25/hr at 25>company outsources job>become unemployed>get new job>make $20/hr at 28I hate this gay country and our kike loving president, but at least I'll live in a particularly cheap part of the country (I guess)
>>62282132I make $45.79/hr at 28, but I live with my parents.
>>62282210so? I make 18/hr, boss is a bitch, I get to sit for 8 hours often enough, travel is at most 17mins, i get my steps in while being a wagie that way.... man I need to get myself out of debt soon.. get certs and fuck all else. biggest plus is i don't have to provide any kind of customer service.
>>62282185Cucknada. My old job did use to pay $22.60 usd per hour which I thought was pretty comfortable (even managed to save $10k usd per year and go on vacations a couple times per year) but then I got laid off back in 2025. Now I can't find a similar pay and there's barely any jobs now for my field as everything has just been taken over by jeets
>>62282221the difference in jeets between pre-covid and now is insane. can't imagine what it's like up there
>30 yrs old>$16/hr fastfood wagieBut I like this job a million times better than my prior office-cucking for $80k salary or even WFH-fagging and seeing nobody ever. Most of my human connection needs are getting hit, whereas none were before.
>>62282247are u just trolling? how the hell do u enjoy a mcwage job paying u shit over a 80k a year WFH job
>>62282186I'm in Florida
>>62282254Because I get to interact with people every day instead of being chained to my computer literally living at my job.I know I'm making the least money I ever have, but I'm also having the most fun I ever have.
>>62282132I make 12/hr at 34...
>>62282132>15/hr @ 30
>>62282132I make $68.50 at 28. You'll probably be around the same in 3 years anon. Right?
Your age × 3 is a good metric for where you should be in life. If you arent then have a side hustle like weekend landscaping
Think im around like 75-80/H
>>62282295Haha...sure buddy
Why are so many of you making such little for your ages? Was it drugs? NEETdom? Terrible upbringing? Or did you fall for the chase your passion meme?
>>62282132$24/hr for me.
>>62282308I believe in you anon
I made 40/hr at 25 now I make 20/hr at 31.How does this happen
third worlder here, I make $8/h at 26 as an EE
28/hr is good at 25 yrs old. Express interest in moving up to your supervisor and have a clear path to keep moving up in the next few years or be looking for other opportunities for large $ increase by changing jobs. Really blows my mind when I look at resumes of guys that worked at Home Depot for 15 years.
I make $91/hr as a gov wagie at 40 yo, also get gibs from the VA 1800/mo tax free
I made minimum wage at 25 before getting a new job at 10.69. I now make 90/hr at 38.
>>62282399Is that 70% anon? I have an appointment next Friday and am hoping I get something from my claim
>>62282311you can literally do everything right and still get raped by the nigger that is lifelike u can go to college, get internships not do drugs or crimes, graduate with your degree, work some shit job post college that is dead end and get fucked
>>62282399What job?
>$37.50 at 34How am I doing?
>>62282178
>>62282132I only make $20/h at 25...
>>62282132>$ per hrngmi
>>62282311I never went to college for 3 reasons:#1. I grew up in a working-poor household, so my parents made just enough to not qualify for welfare, which means they couldn't afford anything. Never had health insurance, never went on vacation, never been to a sports sportsball game, etc. This also meant I didn't qualify for any college grants, even though I graduated at number 13 out of 97 students, with Honor Roll, was accepted into The National Honor Society and played baseball for 13 years with a .350 batting average in high-school.#2. My parents told me it was a scam, so I never took the SAT to get into college in the first place.#3. I already started working at 14 years old and had a job for 3 years. The first thing I did when graduating was buy a car and get a factory job 15 minutes away.#4. I really didn't know what I wanted to do. Originally I wanted to be an Astronomer, but ended up liking Economics and Finance in my early/mid 20s. Which is a massive shift. Going into debt for a degree in science, just to want to be a "finance bro" later would've been bad.The weird thing is, I took a few real IQ tests and scored 122 on average. I'm now 32 years old and have a $500k networth, without owning real estate, just from working a basic wagie job.
>>62282132I make 12€/hr at 34yo and my employer doesn't want to see me more than twice a week so I only make a bit over 200€/week
>not making variable comp>not even making salarydo goyim really?
>>62282741So you've basically just been saving your money? Or do you have any investments that grew into that $500K?
>>62283014It's mostly invested in mutual funds across 4 separate accounts. I also have some emergency fund cash and HSA cash if something terrible happens medically.It was a lot of grinding combined with living frugally. I actually didn't start investing until I was 25, because my parents raised me telling me investing and 401ks were also scams (especially because 2008 destroyed my father's savings and he never recovered because instead of staying in the market, he just dumped everything and never invested again). So, I just had a lot of cash saved up. When I started studying economics and finance I realized my parents were wrong and started massively DCAing into a range of different mutual funds and massively contributing to a 401k.
>>62282149I was making 13.50 at 25 in 1998 was considered pretty good. Worked in a warehouse where we actually only had maybe 4 hours of work and we spent the other 4 hours racing pallet jacks with each other.
0hr at 42 but $300k cash and $500k in stocks and crypto. Wife and 2 kids. Rent. WWJD?
>>62284236He would have made it before marry and having kids. Therefore you have full power and control. You honestly think with female nature and the terrible economy, your wife respects you?
>>62284236You are dealing in the real world. Poor, no margin for error, kids will be working class, wife knows youre low status but if she is nice, she will just play dutiful wife and suck it up and stick with you. Don’t worry, 90% of people are like you.
>>62282132I am a high school teacher and I am making $45,000 a year, or $21. I only bring home $500 a week after all gibs are taken out. I am quitting this year, unemployment is less humiliating. I have a Physics degree, what the fuck am I doing with my life.
>>62282295Path?
>>62282424>>62282307What job?
>>62283040How much have you been making an hour now and how much did you make at age 25? Did you get skills? And live with parents? It's impossible to save now as a low wagie
>>62286190That’s the average American pay. Move somewhere cheaper.
>>62282132you could be making 13/hr at 39
>>62282132wow, you must not value your time
>>62286200Im gatekeeping it, you can do it 1 year technically degree, at my peak rate its almost 28k a month (something pathetic like 18k after taxes)
>>62282132Good. With that you can save enough to buy a pressure washer, start your own business, and then from there go to coding school.
>>62286818>i'm gatekeeping itDoes limiting your fellow anons' success really help you in any way? Like is it a job where if a couple anons joined the field your pay would go down or you could be laid off? Only way that's understandable to me.Or maybe it doxxes you?Is it comfy at least? WFH?
>>62282429yep 70%, I've got an intent to file from December (they backpay you) to claim a few additional conditions, chatgpt can do the whole claim for you, maybe I will get to 80 or 90>>62282471I'm a non-supervisory gs15 reviewing dept budget and programs
>>62282227It is an apocalyptic shit storm. Every company hires meets because the government pays half their wage via our tax dollars
>>62286846>gs15Holy comfy, your job sounds comfy as well. Is it hard to work your way up? Can i ask at what gs you entered at and how long it took to reach 15 (as long as it doesn't doxx you)?
>>62286856I entered as a gs11 in 2020 as an engineering specialist, worked three years then left for private sector for a year and came back to the same org but negotiated higher gs pay, idk I just push for higher pay every year and give them a reason why, I never complain, just show up on time, and thats it, if you have a stem degree there are tons of gs9-13 auto promotion ladders, usually they promote you from gs 9 to 11 then to 12 and 13 every year, being a veteran helped a little but most new hires are non-veterans
im 39 and my salary is $50k flat
>>62282132Get to work tonight Cade
$42 an hour + $4 night shift differential + $3 weekend shift diff = $49.I’m a RN but working around bitchy women all the time is horrendous. That’s in Tennessee, I’d be making $70 if I were in some blue state shithole. I wish I could smoke weed but I can’t, been learning to appreciate good pour over coffee instead.
>>62282132I made $28k in gainz with my stock portfolio today.
>>62282178Why do I feel like I've seen this haircut before but on something that was really really really gay?
>>62282132LMAO my 14 year old daughter makes more than that babysitting kids of neighbors and family friends. Pretty standard $50 an hour, they usually Uber her out and back home too.
>>62286890Hmm yeah I've seen that, but I've also seen that going above gs12 requires management experience and executive skills, and I heard it was hard to break through. How did you make the jump from 12 to 13 and beyond?
>>62286951Do you live in beverly hills or what anon
>>62286837There just isnt a lot of us and I got recognized once and it was super cringe
>>62287102key is to work at a HQ org with grade inflation, field offices etc have limited jobs at higher grades, DC is good if you can keep COL low, everyone knows GS13 is bare minimum to live without a roommate in the beltway, so asking for annual "quality step increase" or grade promotion is not a big deal as long as you're doing your job
>>62282254The answer is young women.
>>62287635sure you did
>>62282132I only made $6.25 per hour at 25
>>62291139
>>62282132STFU faggot. You're doing better than most.Sure, you still won't be able to buy a house in CA, but still better than most.
>>62292393https://www.bls.gov/charts/usual-weekly-earnings/usual-weekly-earnings-current-quarter-by-age.htm
My salary works out to about $31/hr at 27. I live in the middle of nowhere though
>>62292671Then your money must go a long way
