How much do you make?

If polar bears are having loud parties in Siberia and there's no one around to hear them, are they really having a party?

Right now, not enough lol. But currently going to school to be a firefighter and they don't make much money, on top of the fact that it's impossible to get a job. So I'll be poor for a long time. Lol.

If I could do it over that's what I'd do. Not much money but you get things you can't buy with money. The satisfaction of saving a life or a lifetime's memories. Time ... You work 48 hours and get 4 days off (or something like that) The rest of us wage slaves work our 40-60 hours a week with 2 days off and a three week vacation if we're lucky. Firefighters and teachers get time. That's a priceless commodity.

My uncle is a captain for LA Fire Dept. He works 10 days (24 hr shifts) a month. He makes 120k a year at 47. Started when he was in late 20's or something. He will retire in 5 years and will be making 120k till the day he dies.

Ill take it...

One thing that is true you can never make enough. But you can be happy with just the minimum.

Very true, there's a good documentary on Netflix called "Happy" that talks all about money vs happiness.

My friend works at Fletcher Jones Mercedes in Newport Beach, CA (this is an affluent area if you're unfamiliar with S California). He's been there since the mid 90s. He was originally a car salesman, then a finance and insurance guy, and now a GM there.

This is how he breaks it down, while pulling no punches. When he was a sales man (he started off at the Porsche store, and it was called Newport Beach Import group back then) in the mid to late 90s, he said that wannabes (those who make working-class money i.e. sub $100k/yr., but probably a lot less than that) buy either used Porsches or sparsely optioned Boxsters. But almost always, it's the Boxster that they buy; this is when Boxsters were first introduced. No offense to those to switched from 370 to Boxster or Caymann.

He said the real ballers, those who buy the 911s, on average made well over 1/2 a mill per year. This was the mid to late 90s mind you. And, he said that it's not unusual to come across people who make more than 1 mill a year.

911 drivers, usually got chedda. Boxster and Caymann guys can either be "enthusiasts" who think these models got more character than the 911, or working class guys who want something with more badge-appeal than a Nissan.

I don't mean to offend anyone on here, if I rubbed you the wrong way.

i think phil collins drove an old gremlin and did his own oil change while he was a superstar.

If that's true that's awesome!

My wife runs my house she takes care of the bills and budgets. My Z build is one of them and I know you guys may be surprised but the Z is the last thing that I worry about. Even before I purchased it I made sure that my family had a house, car, and a few luxuries. Before I ever purchased the Z. Even today I get $20 every pay day for whatever I may want. Everyone trips out on that. But I don't drink or party so I really don't need any money. But through our sacrifices over the years we've been able to obtain a comfortable lifestyle.

on getting priorities straight. i take a tad more allowance then that every month, but i never go beyond my budget either.
