I am a software developer. I make low 100k because I am to lazy to make more. I work 9-5 and work 12 minutes from home. i am close to a train station for NYC where salaries are higher, but i am lazy and comfortable.
Elementary teacher. 23 years experience, MA degree.
$87,200
Monthly family healthcare premium payment $370 (That's with a $90 dual employee discount)
Dental $8 per month (again with a discount for a two employee household)
I'd have to look up other benefits and costs.
VP of Operations, about $110K. But I am in the 21st percentile based on education and experience, so very underpaid. I stay because I have great flexibility in when I work, 40 hour work week (no OT or weekends), can wear Jeans every day, don't travel (rare for VP) and really like my coworkers. Plus boss lays out my quarterly goals and then leaves me alone to accomplish on my own schedule. Also, with a HH income of $200K and no kids, we can get by on that salary.
No 401K match
20 days PTO
Basic medical, nothing great.
Dental & Vision at a discount.
The best career change I made was leaving a huge impersonal corporation, for a family owned business with an owner that knows their employees personally, and understands that even someone in as unskilled of a position as the receptionist needs to be able to live off of their income.
Through years of hard work, I've moved up into accounting where I earn enough to support a family of 3 in the Seattle area. We have to budget and our savings account gets depleted whenever life comes along, but every year things are getting better. My company has plans for me to take over the A/P department in the near future.
I buy dilapidated houses in surrounding neighborhoods, fix them up and rent them out. I still do most of the work myself, although I have no financial need to do so anymore. In addition, I work in the kitchen of a restaurant you have most certainly heard of if you're a foodie.
Income depends on whether you count capital gains. Either way, I'll retire before I turn 50.
Shift- Swing 2 or 3 -11 pm
Wage- $10.96 per hr (Come Feb 20th)
Benefits- None....Buy my own insurance $27 a month (Kaiser)
Extras-Free food or heavily discounted)
Just had a nice interview for another position away from company. 40 hr week, no weekends and pretty easy work conditions. Less per hour, but play off a 66 at $10.96 and $10 at 80 Makes for good financial sense.
Finance Systems Project Manager - $140,000+
Pension and 401K match
Health includes dental and vision
5 weeks vacation, 2 weeks sick leave
40 hr week (usually) ability to work from home about 1 day a week
