750 a week or 1900 a week? I'll just have to be miserable at work and stack, it's only 8 hours a day.

While I understand where your mom is coming from, it was easier to find jobs in the 70s and 80s or even in the 60s as I don't know how old your mom is. We literally are getting paid less (relative to the cost of living and our cost of education) than they were. We really are disadvantaged compared to the older generation. Not to mention we are priced out of buying a house in a city like NYC or San Fran because there are speculative buyers from outside countries. Our parents didn't have to deal with such issues.
True but that is why she hates the younger generation even more. Things are so pricey as is, why put your money into a thing that has no return. [COLOR=#red]For example, my girl wants a $20K wedding ring[/COLOR]. It's something that women now a days are asking for when back in the days, a wedding ring used to cost like $1000 or so. Although I agree with my mom that the ring is a bad investment, it is hard to argue that with someone (my girl) that is surrounded by nothing but expensive tasting s-heads that all have gotten 20-50K rings. And it's not even just rings. We are a generation that loves shoes, cars, clothing, etc. None of which was that important to the older generation. But even with all that, kids still want some sort of freedom in their work and would sacrifice all those material needs to even just get sanity in the work field. A part of me gets it but its all got to change at some point.
Haven't read a single reply in this 10 page thread. I dont need to. what a joke.
People love to take the "I'd rather be happy" cop out....oh please. six figures opens up any avenue you'd ever imagine. Making Six figures Means you can afford just abiut any luxury car AND Luxury Housing you want, with plenty of fun money leftover. Vs choosing the option of 40 where you'd probably struggle with basic life expenses.
Money CAN buy happiness, and anybody who says it can't us full of dog ****. PERIOD.
As far as money can buy happiness
No
Happiness is the wrong word. Money can a calm of mind I feel. A person who can meet all his financial obligations and can also afford to just get away as he/she feels/needs is in a better mental state than someone who is struggling paycheck to paycheck or worse yet, meal to meal.
Living in NY/NJ i need that 100... I can't relate to living any place else because I don't know what its like. Life would probably be completely different, I'm just guessing.
40k is enough anywhere in the country, there's ppl living with less in every city
living how?
If you're doing something you love and it's your passion, the money will fall to your lap. Other wise your ceiling is limited. You're bound to excel at a higher pace if you're doing something you love. You'll be the one going to work first and leaving last. And icing on the cake is you'll be getting paid for something you like doing so to me that's not workIsn't that easier said than done?
Heavily depends on where you live.. In my city 40K is getting you an affordable high-tier apartment and more then enough to handle every other expense with plenty left over.
You're not going to be whipping a Benz or an M4, but you most definitely won't be driving a bucket. Just a flamboyant status symbol anyways.
This is as a single person.
It'll be way more than 8 hours a day for 100k job so you'll be miserable way longer
I'm not sure if I'm reading that correctly.
$40k gets you a high-tier apartment and is enough for anywhere in the country? Please give examples.
And when I clock out *Big Sean Voice* "I DONT **** WITH YOUU"
Make them racks and take care of my fam, then use that experience to step out into new opportunities.
I mean ****, how many of us start off at a job we "like" or "love" anyway?
I'll work that frustrating 100k job for a couple years then bounce when I found something better.
I'd rather negotiate new salaries starting over 100k rather than over 40k..
The federal government would like to have a word with you two
I'm sure he wasn't talking about areas in the bay or anywhere in Socal, where I'm from. I have a cousin whole lives outside Kansas City who I know is making about 40K. Married and his wife works part-time. I've seen pictures of his apartment. An apartment like his out here in Socal would easily cost $2000$ a month.$40k a year in a high tier apartment?! I wish, not here in the bay area.

Where do you live that 40K will get you a high end apartment and still money left over? Thats like 28K after taxes. Lol that's crazy i was making more than 40K as an intern. I would have been a boss there.

Why do you believe 100K = 50-60hr weeks? That is not the case
Agreed most people are completely content with being average in all aspects of life, as long as they are surviving its fine. Dude that keeps saying more money = more work hours must have been preached that as a kid or something. Trust me more money does not always mean more work, word to all managers. They get paid the most and do the least amount of work, this applies to all fields.I think some folks are just ok with mediocrity, so they fool themselves into thinking when you break a certain income barrier the work instantly becomes overbearing, and you won't enjoy it. No one in particular, just a wide observation off NT. They try to project their fear of flying onto society at large. You can enjoy your work and make six figures, even moreso with removing the stresses even the 40k income level bring. There's a reason the root of so many divorces is financial trouble.
