Getting frustrated with the money I make

[Mr_J]

All I'm saying is $50-$60 an hour is decent pay considering the typical age of most people on this board.

It all goes back to the first guy I replied to saying that $20s pay you peanuts, and I just wanted to ask him if >50k working just 23hrs/week, 42 weeks a year was peanuts. It isn't big money, but it's an amount a young person can live off comfortably in most areas.

Back to $22s and peanuts. If they 35hrs a week, 44 weeks a year they'll make over 90k.

I'm not saying 50k is great, but I'm sick of people saying that $22s pay peanuts. It's all relative. While he wouldn't get out of bed for 50k, alot of people on this board would be happy with that and the freetime it gives them.

I live in an area of fairly high cost-of-living, work 40+ hours and commute from NH to just north of Boston for the priviledge of making just over 50K annual plus bennies.

This is not at all out-of-the-ordinary for the area and I own a nice house, in-ground pool, etc. I don't see why people are sneezing at 50K either.

And yes, I do get out sometimes...
