Or when I am eating dinner with my Brother and his family and his wife ask is that a Rollie on your wrist? I say yeah I bought that with my last paycheck. And she has a envious look on her face because he is just an accountant who make mediocre pay.
The median household annual income in this country is about $78K.
NK CA at 12 year pay is making $300 an hour even now, Toss in DC and that’s over $1 million every three years. That’s 96th percentile HOUSEHOLD income and by that time the 401k and investments are probably adding another $50-100K to the mix annually putting them in the 97th percentile - higher with a working spouse. And that’s with a JCBA coming up.
Let them laugh all they want.
