What you earn in your 20s predicts your salary for the rest of your career

[Fun Sized Psycho]

That's just an average, any single individual can change their whole life trajectory if they really want to.

True.
I worked bullshyt jobs in my 20s.
He'll the job I have no is bullshyt. However, I got tired of the bullshyt jobs and decided to go back to school. So when I'm done in May I'll be getting money. Well realistically I'll start getting good money around August after I wait for my license to come in.

I've been seeing these same articles since I was in High School and they all parrot the same points, and I could have written them in high school, because it's common sense. These authors are just rehashing the same points to sell ad space

There have been studies done that earning over 70k reallydoesn't drastically Improve the quality of ones life and as someone earning over 70k in my 20's I can see the validity of that assumption. Other than doing some extravagant shyt there's really nothing I'm hard pressed for.

It doesn't cost that much for one person to live a decent life on their own, but people fall for the bs about how they need to get married, have kids, buy a bigger house, newer cars, furniture and designer clothes and all if he sudden that 70k is gone because of debt.

If you come outnofncollege making 40k in your 20's and top out making 70k as you approach retirement, you shouldn't be hurting for money if you budget well and live within your means.

^^^all of this is VERY true...and doable.

BUT I want more...I want to give things to my children I only dreamed about...I want to provide a legacy for the next 3 generations...I don't want them to inherit debt like I have from my parents...

Iv'e always believed your High School performance will determine who'll you'll be in life..it starts way before your 20s.

Oh ok.

Lol @ slaves boasting over slave wages

Unsurprisingly yall are more concerned with living a comfortable plantation life than attaining your freedom

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

The report just tells me most people want a simple, stable life People want to make a certain salary, live in a certain city, live with a certain person and keep it like that until they die....not doing anything drastic to jeopardize that 60K salary

Then again, I think people have a mid-life crisis in their 40s/50s after realizing that stable lifestyle was a facade and they really wasted their life playing it safe

In my late twenties and in the mid 60s so by time I am 40 I am trying to make 100 plus fukk you mean. Graduated college three years ago feel as though I got lucky and fuKk student loans that's my reparations. Take them banks to court.

Imagine that was true

You can also determine someone's overal socioeconimic status in and into adulthood from the zip code they were raised in.

We like to think these things don't make a difference but they do, you don't have to chain yourself to your background, but it for sure shapes you.

Then again I was a late bloomer...and as a first gen...I'll admit I had no clue about the career world or the wprkforce. I feel like I caught on to everything late.
