Is a guy a loser or a failure if he is well into his 30s or older and only makes 23 an hour?

I would think, or many would think, that making 23 an hour is not enough to live on or support oneself right? is a person by an age like, lets say 35 or older, expected to make either 50k or 60k a year or more?

Still better than me lol but yeah at $23 an hour is pretty bad especially if your living on your own. If you live with your parents, then you can at least invest a decent amount and be a millionaire within a few years but if you got rent and utilities to pay it becomes nearly impossible at $23 an hour.

what do you do for work at the moment? how much should a person be ideally, making an hour if they want to live comfortably on their own?

Bro you have a job & a lot of people in this world don’t & as for you you’re not a loser or failure you are a working man & if you have benefits & a roof over your head life is good.

$50k or $60k isn't really enough to live on either.

how much should a person be making annually to live comfortably on their own, even if it is not 6 figures?

It depends, she if I put my work into hourly it would look dreadful but I make enough to get by and keep the taxman away
