Answer 3

Depends where you live in metro Boston that's nothing 100k puts you in like a 50th percentile for a family, you need about 150k to 200k, to live a middle class life where old houses cost 500k to a million for 2500 square feet, I made 100k at 40 years after nearly 20 years in my field now in my late 40's I can make 150k if I hustle, however, I had to get a BS degree that coast me 50k graduating in 1988 and MBA in 1992 that cost 40k. However, I stilI had all my debt paid off bye the time I was 45. My wife earns another 100k and we live a nice upper middle class life and we earned it. I am from the Bronx and she is from LA so we came from a distance to live the American dream but as both Generation X'ers, our 20ish generation Y kids cant afford to live in the town where they grew up, they won't have any student debt and will all have college educations but buying a home here for them will be out of the question.

Answer 4

Degrees:
BS Math
MS Math
MS Meteorology and Oceanography
MS Hydrographic Science

I just hit $100K when I moved to the DC area about 6 weeks ago, and trust me, it isn't "making it." With the $3000 mortgage, child care expenses for an autistic 9-year-old, and just the daily living expenses, I feel like I'm no better off than when I was making $30K in Orlando 11 years ago. I guess you spend what you get no matter how much that is. Good luck! Continue to work hard, treat people well, and ALWAYS be open to opportunities, no matter how strange they may seem.

Answer 5

I use to make that much, I have a masters in psychology. I did not enjoy what I was doing though so I gave it up for a career that I love. I now work as a veterinary technician, and own an animal rescue shelter. I don't make anywhere near 100k any more.

Answer 6

According to the 2005 US census, 10,895,000 people in the US admit to making over $100K per year.

What did I do the first time I made over $100K? Nothing glamorous. I replaced a broken fence and sent my kid to a nice summer camp instead of the YMCA. The thing is, to earn the money, I had to give up time -- believe me, I would much rather have spent the summer with my kid instead of paying for that summer camp.

But if you have your heart set of earning lots of money here is some real-world advice: what degree you have doesn't matter nearly as much as just having a degree. I suppose it's possible to make a lot of money with out a college degree, but it's MUCH less common for that to happen. If you want a degree that is more likely to lead to a lucrative career, pick something practical like medicine, law, engineering or accounting/business as opposed to something like, say, sociology or art history.

Once you have your paper, it's really up to you. Lots of people get their degree and are go-getters but that is not enough. To rise through the ranks in corporate America, you must behave a certain way, and very few people are able to navigate through that without losing a bit of their integrity. Or, they have to take on the physically dangerous jobs. Or the jobs requiring continuous travel or relocation to a less-than-desirable place. (They don't just give you all that money for nothing.)

My suggestion would be to work for yourself -- open a business of some sort. The risks are great -- most businesses fail and end in bankruptcy -- but if you are able to make your business work, you will be able to run it according to your own ethical standards. And the fact is, most rich people don't work for someone else, they work for themselves.

I guess the trick is to find a situation that pays well enough to compensate you for the time you've sacrificed, but doesn't require you to do things that make you feel compromised.

Answer 7

not me. i have a H S education and am disabled due to health related issues. i make around $7,00.00 a yr. lead me to a man that makes 100k. for you honey stay in school and earn a degree you sound like the kind of person who will go far. then you go back to the car dealer ship and rub it in the face of those show-off sales men. as far as being a self made man stay on track, don't let anybody walk all over you but at the same time don't you walk all over people to get what you want ,stay honest and grounded, you will turn out just fine.

Answer 8

100k A Year

Answer 9

100K is easy, but you got to have real skills. The key is, at what age you make that. May be your managers make it, but I am sure they must be in their 40s.
You must have a degree from a good college with a good majors such as Finance, Computers etc.
I have a masters in computers, and I make about 100K, and if I push myself harder, I can actually make much more, but I am OK with what I get.

Answer 10

Actually, it's mostly (in that order) on:
1) Who u know
2) Your attitude
3) hard work and ambition

I know a lot of intelligent hard workers that are shy so they don't get great jobs. I also know several ppl that lack degrees, but have really positive attitudes, are friendly, and have huge networks, so they make like 75 grand + a year.

Answer 11

I am getting closer to 100K a year, not quite there yet. And no I dont hide money, thats why i complain so much about not wanting my taxes raised.
