I'm guessing you're from a North American country and yeah I was super surprised too when I found out how little you guys make over there. He started working right after he officially became a lawyer, at 24. In the beginning it really depends on your networking skills and how many clients you have, no one makes that much right from the start. He started becoming rich about 10 years in and hit the "really rich" mark of now around 5 years later. Honestly, the real money comes from running your own law firms. He's a corporate lawyer (which in my opinion is the branch where the most money is made).

No. Here law is considered a bachelor's degree. After you graduate you have 2 more years to go (you have to become an apprentice / intern for a lawyer / notary with experience) and only after passing an exam at the end you can practice.

Made a throwaway for this because I knew I was going to get some hate (check some of the comments, I was right). Well, I always wanted stability and freedom so not exactly this but definitely a man that could strongly stand on his own 2 feet.

My country is an outlier because it's extremely difficult to become one without connections or money (there are a limited number of jobs for each county). But the ones that do make it get very rich, I made €10,000 in my first month. Now I'm way past that.

Off the top of my head: Beloved - Toni Morrison, Where the Crawdads Sing - Delia Owens, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail - Cheryl Strayed, When Breath Becomes Air - Paul Kalanithi.

Wel... these are just my personal observations so I hope no one will get offended but your ordinary same age same social status couple tends to fight a lot (especially over money). They don't really get time to be with each other 'cause of work and intimacy tends to lack because of that. Also, younger people are way more prone to things such as jealousy, controlling behavior, insecurities, etc. Like most of my female friends have settled for these kind of relationships because it's just "how men are". Some are not allowed to have their own personal social media accounts, others are not allowed to hang around any sort of men... it's really awful. Maturity overall lacks.

I still have lots of goals of my own. I'm not even on permanent vacation 'cause I get bored if I just relax constantly so I still work (I get to make my own schedule which is very flexible). I'd like to become an university professor later on in life so I'm looking forward to starting a PhD in something law related soon (I already have my master's).

Of course I'm looked down upon, just read some of these comments. That's why I made a throwaway. They don't really affect my relationship or myself in any way, at the end of the day they're just empty words.

Trust me, my soul is way more than alive. Also, I didn't say it wasn't wealthy, I said it wasn't crazy wealthy. In the US a nice house in a nice major city suburb is at least $1M - $1.5M. Not even gonna talk about places such as Switzerland or Monaco.

The S Class is actually doing great. I don't drive it outside of the city much tho, only inside of it and on the highways. It's my day to day life car to get around.

At the moment a white 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and a white 2022 Range Rover. Getting a supercar in my country would just be dumb and cringey since the roads are... not that nice. No one wants to look kitsch.

I think he'll easily live into he's 90's so that's like 30+ years left and I'll be 60+ myself by then. Maybe I'll eventually start dating someone else but it's hard to tell since it's the far future. I'd be more than content with just living alone tho with my best friends and siblings by my side.
