How much do you earn and are you satisfied?

[Anonymous]

I am 26 and earn about £7k a month which at the start of my career is phenomenal. Probably top 1% for my age group in the UK. Most likely. I feel like a baller, I have zero expenses.

I am happy but I have to earn 10X as much. Especially given my background. We all have to start somewhere. My dad amassed 10M so I have to be very wise in how I invest and grow.

Very satisfied with what I earn

Satisfied

Neither satisfied or unsatisfied

Unsatisfied

Very unsatisfied

Most people my age make 2k a month the average person. In my top career it’s only 3k when you’re doing your training year which is where I’m currently at in my career but did some smart things

I earn the minimum wage for western foreigners in my hosting country. Which is about 10 times the average net income of a local farmer, and about 3pointsomething times of a local factory worker.

I am already very wise, and see no need to invest or to grow.

See:

A businessman on holiday sees a fisherman relaxing by the beach after a morning's catch. The businessman asks why he doesn’t fish more to earn more money, buy a bigger boat, and eventually build a fishing empire. The fisherman asks what he would do then. The businessman says, "Then you could retire, relax, and enjoy life by the beach." The fisherman replies, "But that’s what I’m already doing."

Moral: most people ''your age'' (words of your ''update'') perhaps are smarter?

You make $112,200 a year US. When I was 26, adjusting for inflation, I made $129,800 or 8,100 pounds a month.

Yes, invest and you will do quite well. But don’t forget to actually live. S-end money traveling, getting a house, raising a family.

I make $3,100 a month with profit sharing which generally ends up being 145-308 extra per month. Pretty good money for where im at in the usa for my age group

It could always be more but I earn more than I ever thought that I would.

I'm satisfied with £500 a month because it beats paying taxes

I wish I made more money but I also like my job so neither satisfied nor dissatisfied

I'm not satisfied at all.
