Income?

[RattlerXX]

I make 35,000 per year flipping burgers at Chili's Grill & Bar. It's a nice country!!

You are my HERO! The BMB's are the bomb. :thumbup:

Well I'm firmly in the <50K group.....but I owe nothing on the home except annual taxes which are frozen at the level they were 8 years ago. A brand new Chrysler for my wife and My Dodge deisel PU are sitting in the driveway paid for. My total credit card debt is whatever they bill me for on the next cycle. I seem to have more discreationary cash now than I had at any time during my life when I was working, so even though I make a whole lot less than I did when I was working, I have a whole more to spend on knives now and I really love retirment. The down side is that it took me 73 years to get here.

I earn adequate Aussie Dollars, but our dollar is worth slightly more than Monopoly money at the present. Think I will give myself a pay rise on Monday.

What does the K stand for???

What does the K stand for???

In the poll? "k" is short for "thousand", so $7k = $7,000

I work part time at Kmart making 6$ an hour at around 25 hours a week.

70-80k ish, depending on overtime, cleaning up dead bodies has its rewards...(also collect military disability + pension)

Wow, I didn't realize just how good us Arkansans had it!!

I make ~120k, my wife makes 35k. I provided a company car, company gas card (I literally havnt paid for gas in 4 yrs), I get 25 vacation days a year, I work no more than 35 hours a week, I get employer matching retirement, profit sharing (10k last year), a company cellular,company credit card (I take accounts to lunch everyday so I havnt paid for lunch myself in years, and the joy of Arkansas I live in a 2300 sq ft home in a nice subdivision and my monthly mortgage including taxes and insurance is $386 a month, wife's car 453. And amazingly enough there still isn't much left in the bank at the end of every month LOL. But we have a lot of fun!! Paid for motorcycle,paid for four wheeler,more guns than I can count and an ever growing knife collection.

I am in sales for one of the largest privately owned companies in the world and I'm pretty decent at it. Number 4 in the world last year!!

Seven year old thread, adjust the first 46 posts for inflation!

Seven years ago, I was making 20k more than I am now.

I am going to sell some of my children to third world countries to get back where I used to be. I need some: rope, duct tape and duffle bags. off to Exchange-Gadgets and gear I go!

How?? Are you missing a 1 in front of the $386??

Sub 50k here. Around $33,000 not including the wife's income to be exact.

I'm a Deputy Sheriff, and that's a pretty sub-par wage, even for this area.

 

[mewolf1]

Less than 30k, but I still some how afford a membership and intend to upgrade this year in support of the forum.
Ante up tightwads!!:thumbup:

I'm putting four through university. Two are done. Two are still in. For years it was three simultaneously. Cash and carry. I make plenty of money. Plenty. A ton of it, but university and saving for retirement (ain't a spring chicken any longer) are why I drive a '98 Civic I bought as my "new" car when I returned from Afghanistan 14 months ago and why I make most of my stuff last. Even my big TV is a huge heavy (two man lift) tube model a friend gave my for free helping him move several years ago.

Yes, K as in the suffix kilo-

Here the lot for a doublewide would cost half what your house cost.

Seven years ago, what I remember from seven years ago... actually I believe I was still in the same place 'cept I had a lot less surgeries than I've had to date, probably a half dozen less, give or take but whose counting?

 

[underdog406]

Just short of 12k USD
White collar, gaming ind. 40~60+ hours per week w/ no overtime (reached 85+ hours per week once).

Sweat shop Aisa (Taiwan)
12k annual is already well above average over here, down south the majority of people earn less than 7.6K annually.

 

[AddictedToGear]

Not enough to afford the knives or gear I want. This seems true for many people, but the bad part is my tastes are always getting more expensive.

 

[gregorio]

Seven years ago I was making about 20k a year while going to school.

Nice thread necromancy here
