> _Originally posted by 1320_ > **ahhh yes, the interweb… where everyone is a baller who clears over $40,000 a year… 🤣** actually i work hourly and comission. My base pay rate is $12.15/hr. I have 2 years of college (uncompleted). I just got paid today and my YTD including comissions is $37,562.87, and I started working there on Feb 15, 2003. So figuring the holiday season will be good hopefully (I work for Nextel) I should see over $40,000. ---

damn Legal, your paid! looks like i should have payed a little better attention at CC. 65K at 24 is real nice, add that with wife’s salary and you are living a really great middle class life. Sure there’s better, you have 18 yr olds from the ghetto making millions puttin a ball in a hoop. I don’t agree with making under 500,000 is a small fish. If you make even 300,000 you can buy just about whatever you want. I’m not tlaking stupid shit like bling bling and boats and houses, but you can have a huge crib with just about any car(s) you want. I dunno if i was making 45k i’d be pretty happy with life. i guess it just matter how you look at it. ---

I didn’t mean to start shit, but when he complains that he is soo poor, I was just pointing out a reason why that may be. I would love to just chill at the beach, but I busted my ass to make a nice life for myself and it sucks to see people that don’t seem to try that hard bitch about their situation. ---

don’t get me wrong… a good living is whatever you consider it to be… but in the last year or so i’ve been working with some big"ger" hitters… $250-$300 guys(brokers/venture capitalists) & they consider themselves doing just “well”. I think they are hitting the ball a mile! I mean shit… Robert O’Neal (Sec. of Treasure under Bush SR, ALCOA ex-vp or was it pres?) works in my building… it gives you a whole new view of “rich”. ---

I’m in the process of looking for a house in Hartford CT, and you can’t touch a nice home for under $300k. In the burgh you can find a nice home for under $100-150 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-i-got-a-new-job/162561.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-i-got-a-new-job/162561.md?page=3)
