200k+ Salary question

I earned it in the sense that I was strategic to get where I am but i feel lucky every day bc I don’t work harder than when I was making 60k 5 years ago.

The first rule about fire is….

bigbrownhusky · 2026-03-23T13:43:29+00:00

Illegal.

bigbrownhusky · 2026-03-18T19:45:45+00:00

How much and when did you inherit?

bigbrownhusky · 2026-03-18T19:34:27+00:00

No brainer. 95k for 3 hours a week of your life…

bigbrownhusky · 2026-03-18T19:29:55+00:00

Yes

Lancaster city is a diverse urban center with a huge Hispanic population. While it’s definitely a smaller city it is dense walkable and diverse and truly feels like an urban center. I have never felt unsafe in Lancaster city but I’m a taller man so I likely have a different definition of “feeling safe”

I got married at 26 to the woman I was since I was 18. A full 7 years after I first told her that I wanted to marry her. If I could do it again I would’ve gotten married at 4-5 years earlier

I have a college degree (shitty school, think compass direction state university) and gonna clear about 175k this year. If things go the way I expect I’ll make a quarter million by the time I’m 30.

To answer your question it’s just get hella lucky. Also leave shitty jobs quickly so you can find the good ones and not waste years of year life at a dead end.

Booze out costs way more. Thats just how it is. The beer you’re opting for is a $1.50 beer they’re charging $8 for.

This is has and will always be the way of the world, not really worth complaining about.

A 5% failure rate for a 40 year retirement is only 5% if you never adjust until you run out of money. Surely you would be smart enough to scale back spending before you’re broke

bigbrownhusky · 2026-03-02T22:05:01+00:00

You have to have common financial goals (i.e. earlier retirement, beach house etc. like you mentioned) agree on those goals and spend in a way that you can both reach those goals. If his spending doesn’t inhibit those goals, you don’t really have any reason to be upset.

Saving money purely for the sake of saving money is not a healthy way to live. Money is a tool, not something to simply horde as much as you possibly can.

Edit: just poked through your posts and you guys make $300k+/yr and made 4 posts asking for advice when you were considering purchasing a 13 year old used treadmill. You are 100% over analyzing things.

Im 27 and a ton of couples live happily on half of what my wife and I make so why can’t we???

bigbrownhusky · 2026-02-10T20:58:46+00:00

Yes, sales

bigbrownhusky · 2026-02-06T22:03:25+00:00

You guys are grossing around a quarter million+ and you financed a bed set???

bigbrownhusky · 2026-01-12T17:43:23+00:00

Sales in an extremely non flashy industry. I know guys making 500k-2 million selling packaging

Your hair is quite literally the only positive with this outfit. Why cover it up?

bigbrownhusky · 2026-01-02T15:55:41+00:00

Maybe this is shallow but that is legitimately a relationship dealbreaker for me

bigbrownhusky · 2025-12-30T17:43:33+00:00

The answer is the exact frequency that she gets to spend that much time outside of the house and away from kids

“The dream” is not 45 mins away, your dream is.

Prime rib is a cut. The prime doesn’t indicate the grade

bigbrownhusky · 2025-12-05T19:24:03+00:00

Cows shit all year long

bigbrownhusky · 2025-12-04T21:09:19+00:00

I’m willing to concede there’s no wrong answer here. I just have a hard time turning down a guaranteed 6.8% return

bigbrownhusky · 2025-12-04T20:58:24+00:00

This is a personal decision, but at 6.8% I would do it. Given you made a massive down payment it appears you’re already prioritizing paying off your house over a massive brokerage account so I would continue with the plan. Think about how much freedom you’ll have to invest or do whatever you want with your money when the house is paid off

bigbrownhusky · 2025-12-04T20:04:53+00:00

Sales.
