Growing up in the 90s, it seemed if you broke the 100k per year income barrier, then money was never an issue. However, it also seemed only doctors, lawyers, engineers, upper management/executives, and top sales professionals were making that kind of income. They drove nice cars, had nice large homes, went on multiple vacations per year, sent their kids to private schools, etc.
Fast forward to present day. 100k per year today is not what it was 20 - 25 years ago. Yet it is still a well above average income. Since graduating college 2 years ago, I have become more aware of networking and talking with more successful people. They all seem to be making at least 100k + per year. The majority that I have talked to are in sales or upper management of companies.
It seems people selling cars at Chevy/Ford dealerships and people selling average homes in real estate are even surpassing the 100k annual income mark.
It really makes me think...how difficult is it really to be making that kind of money in present day?
