you live at your parent's 3.3 mil house?

>>682256949
Not rich, but not black person either. but I have everything I could reasonably desire in terms of food/equipment/hobby shit, I'm alright I guess, not rich or poor

I'm rich in heart anons. That's what matters.

32. I own real estate properties and have investments in the stock market

>>682256949
I was rich, then made redundant, my money is slowly trickling away. Another interview on Friday though..which I will surely fail.

>>682256949
I grew up very poor, but now I make $15 an hour as a cook.
I live well, but I would not say I am rich.

Parents and Relatives are rich, I'm receiving 20% off my aunt's wealth which is around 15m usd. Technically I have no net wealth so I'm poorer than all of you but hey not for long.

>>682256949
Iam poor as fuck atm. But iam currently at university and i work in two jobs to finance myself. I'll work for my own money and i wish that i'll someday own my own house, car etc.

>>682259691
Very jealous anon, would love to know I have a nest egg. Sadly no family members are rich.

>>682259895
Stay at it, I wish I'd tried at school, hard to make above 20k without good qualifications.

Make good money (120K+/year) but don't have any wealth.
Parents were poor as shit and I'm the first person in my family to make anywhere near what I do.
It's nice but I work hard for it.

>>682259685
>>682260030
I make about 35k a year with only a high school diploma, although admittedly I woud make at least twice as much with a 4 year cooking degree.

I consider myself rich in that I've never had to turn down an opportunity due to lack of money. Get into prestigious selective private school? Parents pay the bill. Law School? Parents pay for it. Unpaid internship on the other side of the world? Parents hand me their amex. I've worked hard, but a lot of my success wouldn't have been possible without my parents supporting me financially in whatever I wanted to do. I'm now a lawyer on $190k/year. Not rich, but I'm comfortable enough and I have no student loans to pay.

>>682256949
I have a roof over my head. A car outside. Spare change in my pocket. TV. Internet access. Running water. Heating. Drainage.

I would say in the grand scheme of things, yes, I am rich.

In comparison to my peers over here, I don't feel rich. I suppose in this country, I am below average on the richness scale. But in the whole world....man I got it good.

Be grateful for what you have /b/tards.

>>682260257
It's hard not impossible, I was on 24k till made redundant, now I'm having to go for 17k jobs. Thinking about retraining to be a radiographer.

work at a patent law firm. half translation, half prosecution of patents. studied foreign languages in my undergrad, saved my money for five or so years after college, got a BS in comp sci and passed the patent bar to become a patent agent.

work is pretty boring but I have a comfortable life. I grew up dirt fucking poor, just above poverty level, so I definitely enjoy what I have now.

Poor fag here. Living from government payments whilst studying, which occurs each fortnight. Could not survive without the help of my mother at the moment.
However I have a job interview on Thursday; and if all goes well I'll be able to help her out, as she has for me, along with create a path for my future :)

>>682260868

Nobody who works for a salary is "rich". My means is dependant on me showing up to work each day (and usually night as well). I still work for the man, I just get paid better for it.


>>682260907

I live in NYC. I'm actually English by birth but I went to Columbia for law school.

>>682261115
Thats wassup. I always believe i could do something like that, but the boring aspect of it kills me.. The boring day-in-day out doesnt get to you?

I'm not rich, but I do alright. 130k a year or so. I used to be pretty poor, but I took my education seriously, got a scholarship and eventually got a great job right out of grad school with no debt.

There will always be resturaunts and in my industry the longer you have cooked the more you make.
I will admit I started out at $8 an hour years ago, but now I can get at least $13 anywhere.
I am actually due for a $1/hour raise next year.

sometimes, but the company I work for gives me enough freedom I don't burn out. I can basically take a month long vacation as long as I take a little work with me.

I'm not planning on doing it forever, though. got some ideas for a business a few years down the road.

And like I said, I was poor as fuck right up until I graduated from college so that tends to keep everything in perspective for me.

>>682259481
this, I make more than i spend in a month without having to sacrifice anything i want.
i'm content, no desire really to be rich.

>>682261419
Doing what?

Well off Fag here. Grew up poor - didn't realise how poor until I had money - as both my parents were on welfare. Dropped out of school and my life was not looking good until I decided to go back to school in my early twenties. That was 20 years ago... Today I work across the senior executive team of 2 very well know companies and make about $250K a year. Still not rich but hope to cash out in about 6 or 7 years with a very tidy sum.

>>682261568

everythings relative i suppose

3 houses - not super ritch but dont have to worry about money ... building estimator 28

>>682261568
Exactly. Homie's confusing "rich" with "wealthy."

well I'm a girl and my step dad has always spoilt the fuck out of me because he's kinda always felt bad about not being my actual dad? but yeye i have enough money to not really need to work till I'm like 26

While I don't consider myself rich, I'm probably rich by many people's standards. I don't have to worry about things that cost less than $20, I don't have student loan debt, etc. Not a millionaire, although I was on paper at one point.

I'd consider myself rich if I could buy a house anywhere I wanted, and never have to work again if I so chose.

Maybe part of what's holding you back is not knowing the difference between "your" and "you're."

Born from poor parents, everything gets better after 2004, went to a better private school, start earning well and then almost everything went down in 2011 start working hard, finish school in 2014 and open my own business (jewelry) 2015 was good.March 2016 i get robbed and lost it all.Getting my shit together now,

My parents are rich in a way that they have money, but suck at spending it

I'm poor

Got my master certifications as an automotive mechanic about 3 years ago. I have to renew them like every six years, but I made almost 200k last year. The nice thing about it is that I can put in almost 100 hours a week while only really working like 40.

Get your autodidacticism on - learn shit on your own. Most of the best engineers I know didn't learn to program in school, but picked things up themselves. (That said, the more academic things can be useful - error limits, discrete math, data structures - but they're not as useful in day-to-day programming as you might think.)

You mean turned over 200k not net earnings.

Sure, I'll never understand the struggles of someone earning $8/hour. That being said, I still wouldn't be able to buy property where I live. I live in an apartment my family owns and pay nominal rent while I try to save for my own place. Politically speaking my interests are more aligned with a fry cook at McDonald's than with a billionaire.

>>682261820

It is a private school but you don't need to go to an ivy league school to get a good job in law (although it does help). If you really want to be a lawyer then just apply everywhere you can. You might not get into the top firms that pay $160k/year fresh out of law school but that isn't what being a lawyer is all about. You'll make enough money to survive and do good work that benefits people even if you aren't a big shot NYC lawyer.

Lawfag here. Unless you're in the top 10% of a tier 1 law school or have relatives who believe in nepotism, you've got a better shot winning the lottery than getting a six-figure job out of law school. The vast majority of attorneys make less than $60k.

>>682262538
No I mean net earnings. I make 62 an hour basically doing nothing sometimes. The nice thing about it is that in my shop not many people have the certs, so they end up having to use mine so I still get paid for basically doing nothing.

I live with a roommate who owns the house. Rent is 250 everything included. 40 a month phone bill and 22 dollars a month car insurance for a vehicle I paid off. 49 dollar health insurance through tricare prime

Really anyone can live rich. I bartend and am in the guards. I make about 2k a month (that the govt knows about) and I go on vacations often. I'm going to Japan and Thailand for the entire month of September.

I'd recommend being a minimalist. It's not worth buying a bunch of shit when all you do is work to acquire it.

Have more days off and do something you like. Live below your means and you can do whatever you want

can confirm from other NZ anons, new zealand is sweet. i actually wrote a program that runs in the back ground of peoples cellphones and computers that recognizes bank account numbers and credit card numbers and puts those on a database in my closet lol. then i just put the program on a bunch of normies laptops and shit and boom, steady cash flow. then it just kept growing now im pretty much set for life. gg auckland uni, gg

The clients are the worst part of the job. If you want to make money, master salesmanship. High-end professional salesmen make as much money as they want to make. Most attorneys are overworked and underpaid. I own my own firm, and I do very specialized work, so my lifestyle is much better than other people that were classmates of mine. It's a dying profession with fewer opportunities each year. If I were you, I'd go into software development. It also helps people, but you'd deal with way less bullshit.

Grew up fail poor. Had the baisic things we needed to survive ( food, shelter etc ). Luxury food like seafood we had to catch ourselves and same goes for duck and rabbit we had to hunt that too.

Now I'm older and have my own family and I bust my guts at work to make sure they all have everything I didn't. I like in just above a million dollar property ( paying it off ) I have a new car and I earn $50ph now.

This is all in Australia.

It just depends on who you know. The big money is in doing patent prosecution and litigation, and you'd have no chance getting retained for that work as a solo. I couldn't get a job with a patent law firm out of law school, and I have a strong software development and process management background. If you graduate and want to start a boutique copyright/trademark/patent firm you could probably do it and make solid six digits. I wish I would've stayed in the programming and application development world though. Most of my friends in that space are millionaires.

>>682264119
He said an annuity - not investing 10m and living off the earnings. As an example,
>This is Money reported that for a 65-year-old with a spouse two years younger with a lifetime annuity that rises with inflation could expect an income of £41,000 at best from a £1.25million pot,
So for a 65-yo to get an income of 880k would take an annuity investment of £25m - and that's for a life expectancy of c. 20 years. 100m wouldn't get you 4 times the life span due to investment rates - the longer the annuity duration, the lower the return.

Now you see what I mean by financially illiterate?

Everyone's different. There are code monkeys out there that are content with writing lines of code 9 hours a day. Personally, I think the most interesting areas are biomedical engineering and mechatronics/AI

My, unfortunate, thoughts exactly..

Danish guy here. Due to our tax/wage system, one does rarely get superrich, but we got a welfare state which is nice i suppose. Basically a lot of social security such as school and healthcare and free university etc.

I grew up in a family who was above middelclass, My dad made around 170k/year in his golden days which was quite a lot in Denmark.

I am currently studying and making around 30k/year. I got money for what i want and need. I usually invest my money in expensive gibson guitars or vintage amps. Looking into some real estate with my dad where I could make a great return of profit in a few years.

Definitely no millionaire lifestyle - I drive a 7 yo car with over 100k on the clock

>>682261834
You'd get max 5% annuity so you'd need to put 16 mil in. 16 mil is more than any reasonable person could spend in a lifetime and with an annuity you don't have anything to bequeath. So I call bollocks. Or you are a complete idiot

I'm on my last year of an electrical engineering degree, i have no idea about the type of work im actually getting into cause uni is full of shit and I have no idea about how I'm going to get rich by becoming an engineer? Could someone just please enlighten me. Literally everybody I know is lower class and I know very few people with degrees.

because "millionaire" and "millionaire lifestyle" has a connotation of private jets, Bentleys, chandeliers and Louis Roederer Crystal.

I'm a paper millionaire (literally) but I don't have a "millionaire lifestyle"

>>682267122

Not revealing where i interned as it's a major accounting firm, i work for the legal department, i'm on the base salary they offer.

>>682267167

One is yes, worth when i purchased ~220k; now worth i could comfortably get ~270k.
Rest are various stocks/affairs of such.

Thanks, i dont mean to 'brag' but i graduated with flying colors; Bachelor of Laws Cum Laude.

When i went through the interview process i got lucky in a sense the panel was happy with my interview and throughout my internship i showed incentive to be a 'valuable' asset.
I was even told by one of the senior lawyers that the company wanted to mold me into something they wanted and didn't want someone with alot of experience.

Can you see yourself as a manager at your current firm in the future? What are you current working hours like? I've been told law is hellish the first couple of years

I'm not particularly wealthy. I make about $14/hr with monthly commission doing pest control. About enough to pay the bills and have some fun on the side.

I would say that I am rich because I've got a roof over my head, working utilities, and food is never a problem. Compared to other places in the world, I got it pretty damn good.

>>682267738
is bachelor of laws 4 years? So you've been in the workforce for 2 years?

>>682268140
that's for sure. We often take the simplest things for granted. Gotta remember that most of us live like kings compared to those in parts of Africa and india

Wife and I are disabled. SSD income is below poverty range.
>Qualify for Medicaid for now until she gets SS.
>Foodstamps.
>~ one month heating allowance per year
>Free phone with 300 minutes a month - mostly for Dr appiontments
>1 Car [blown headgasket] 1 car daughter drives for 2 jobs
>Own 4 Bed, 2 bath, fireplace, deck, attached garage mobile home in gated community

Was fortunate enough to buy assets with my wife's inheritance.
If it breaks now or needs repaired can't do it or replace it.

>Am I rich?

i spend like 4 months a year homeless. Its easier for me to just not pay rent in the summertime. Work my ass off, not that kinda guy. I was fucked from birth, I always knew ide never be happy

>>682268066

Law School was a drain, it was heavy and i broke down a couple of times, not going to lie to you.

I mean i'd like to become a senior lawyer at my firm, but i need alot of experience for that.

and Bachelor of Laws is a double degree, meaning you need to do double degrees, i personally did Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Civil Laws ( disputes) \ so alot of my subjects overlapped; i ended up finishing my 5year degree in 4years.

>>682268287
>Am I rich?
are you happy?

700k in bank. Own a small few late night pizza delivery shops. No degree, worked two full time food service jobs for 3 years and bought into a franchise. Just work hard and be ready for opportunity.

Fuck all of you richfags. Not even 20 posts in and theres several people making over 100k trying to say im not rich, i do ok. Fuck yourselves. You motherfuckers are the problem. Try two months in my life and tell me the impoverished dont work hard. Fucking lawyerfag talking about his family pays his shit so he doesnt feel poor, my family steals the pittance i make when im not actively paying their bills to keep them from being homeless like me. Fuck every one of you rich fucks

what atar did you need to get into that? are you one of those 99ers?

>>682259592
do you WANT the job? most employers now adays just want someone who shows interest in the job and just doesn't want it strictly for a pay check

>>682268799

96, the year i went into university the required atar was 94.

I did this while working part-time at a bakery ( Brumbies) 4-8 shift, 5 days a week, then school.

>>682268715
I make 800k, 650k goes to bills before I have any fun.

it's not their fault they're rich; no need to get angry. For every rich douche our there, I can guarantee you there is another rich person that sympathises with people like you. It sucks that people live like you do, it really does

Study hard, apply for scholarships, actually APPLY yourself, who knows maybe you'll accomplish something.

is that how you managed the to get the property? or did you only buy that recently?

>>682269089
I agree. There comes a time when you'll realize that blood doesn't make family. Love and appreciation means family. There's is a point where it's necessary to remove somebody from your life.

>>682256949
I'm by the standards, poor. I make a little under 13k a year. But where I live is cheap and spacious. I get laid but don't have a gf and don't really want one. Don't have kids and don't want any. I know it isn't much but for me It is more than enough. My total bills is around 5400 a year. I'm content with where I am and what I have. So for me I do okay.

>>682269268

Year 9 - Year 12 i ended up saving ~45k; did some risky investments, got lucky and made ~82k, borrowed the rest from the bank, bought a house; renovated it, renting it, i have debt. but it's good debt.
part of my 150k AUD salary, realistically, probably ~220k, the company offers you various shares in different organisations if you show interest and are able to manage it. hard to explain without giving to much information

>>682269414
I sat there for a while in your shoes. Just make sure that you are equipped to achieve more if you ever change your mindset.

>>682268578
Sometimes. Health plays a big part of it.

We did OK until '08 happened and I ruined my health working to survive and lost it all.

We tried to rebound with her inheritance but I knew we couldn't maintain what we needed in the long run. So we tried to set our daughter (29) up with being able to have a car and sell this place when we're gone.

She *thinks* she can make it on her own. Makes `$11.00 hr. LOL

Overall - I'm happy in the moment because I have to be. When they think it'll get better I have to buy into their false belief.
>reality is a bummer

>>682269468
damn dude, you have pretty much achieved my life goals. I'm the guy you've been replying to about your job etc, and I'm a student, hoping to buy a rental property soon after my graduation from uni (computer engineering hons). To see that someone else has achieved it is motivating

>>682269580
life isn't easy, is what I always say. It's good that you are staying strong, for your daughter at least

>>682269738

Good Luck with your Honours, strive to be better. make industry connections when you're interning at places. Volunteer at anything/everything you can. take moderate risks, prepare to fail.

Goodluck :)


What university you at?

>>682269862
RMIT. I turned down Monash because I live very close to the CBD, and Melbourne didn't really offer the degree I was after (it's also a 5 year course compared to RMIT's 4 year). Thanks for the advice, I'll always remember you as motivation lol

>>682270092

Nice, i've been looking to get back into University to get my JD, RMIT has been up there as i've co-authored a scholar article with one of the law professors @ RMIT, good guy,good environment. but i'm still contemplating alot of things.

>>682270324
good to know. Might unknowingly cross paths one day. I'm at RMIT for another 3 years yet.

How do things work in the law world? Do you just gradually work your way up to bigger and better things?

Poor fag here, living just on the poverty line. On very small amount of welfare + clean toilets for a supermarkets on weekends. Paying my way through university. Studying 2nd year paramedicine and hoping to do my doctorate post grad. Hopefully should be earning ~100k after all that provided I don't neck myself in the process.

self-directed learning, so yes and no, you you imitative and ask your place of employment if you can further your education 90% of the time they'll pay for it and help you and be really lien ant with scheduling, this is why i want to do it before i achieve (maybe) a senior position where i'm actually needed Monday - Friday 9-5.

>>682270653

i may or may not have been drinking a couple of classes of cheap cognac.

>>682270711
Yes, it's quite obvious haha. So you aren't working full time? What does a 24 year old lawyer do on their days off?

>>682262653
I made my own mini jib. It's the bomb. Cost me less than 5k

>>682269845
Thank you for your kind words but I must remind you that you're on /b/.

I'd feel better if you called me a nigger/faggot.

>>682270950
stfu faggot

>>682270851

No, i'm currently working full-time, the firm isn't reliant on me solely as i work in the legal department, however every executive decision gets made by the senior lawyer. ( my boss )

I regularly go out on weekends with work friends ( receptionists/paralegals ) they are all around my age, and we're all good friends, i try to catch up with my school friends as well, but its hard to relate to them as they're all tradies.
i live alone in an apartment in the CBD, so aside from being an adult and doing adult things, nothing really. i'm also hardly home, i'm probably not in Melbourne for an accumulated ~4months a year, spread across randomly.

>>682271108
>stfu
BONUS!

Id guess i'm upper middle class. I grew up close too poor, 50k household income in MA (50k goes far is some states , not in MA). Now me and my wife make 175-225k, I guess what's upper middle.

Well I wouldn't say rich... I'm 20, I earn £20,000 salary a year in Payroll.

I'm renting my own apartment which is costing me over half my monthly wage.

Leftover money all goes on food, cigerettes and weed. Most months I have to borrow more off my parents to survive.

I have no idea what I'm doing right now this whole adult life thing is difficult as fuck they never prepared me for this

>>682271119
haha that must be a funny thing being a lawyer and having tradies for friends. I can relate to you somewhat though.

Well it's been good talking with you. All the best with your JD if you should choose to pursue it!

>>682262791
It depends where you are though. In financial centres like NYC/DC the median is significantly higher than most of the country. Of course, that seems to be where everyone wants to end up. I will agree that law isn't the way to go if you just want to make money. You need to like what you do.

>>682263640
aren't the best lawyers also good salesmen? or is that just on tv lol

>>682256949
grew up with a kinda rich family (my grandfather is quite wealthy with some millions)
but I'm getting none of it.. get like 200 bucks for birthdays and that's it. So i gotta work with like 9€/h while studying at university and paying may rent. It works out, but there's nothing to save at the end of the month.

Not as rich as some anons here but parents are rich and I'm set to inherit a pretty profitable company that basically runs itself (outside of a few things) when dad decides he's had enough and retires. Until then I'm in a placeholder position in the company that pays really fucking well for not really having to do anything.

>>682272040
depends which type of law. There are lawyers that literally sit in an office all day going through paper work and writing documents and shit. It's boring stuff most of the time

Mom married into wealth. Stepdad is a pretty chill dude, old Marine. After 3 or so father figures I'm surprisingly willing to consider him the best, and not cause of money.

But damn if he didn't buy me a Camero as my first car.

>>682267510
There aren't because he's lying. Australian lawyers don't earn that much with so little experience.

>>682272332
I fucking wish my parents had a family business. Would feel so good to know you're lined up to inherit some mad dosh in the future

>>682272332
what type of company?

>>682272657
it sounded a little too good to be true. Experienced lawyers would be happy to earn 150k imo in aus

>>682272763
Yeah I got really fucking lucky. I try not to give people shit about having money cause I haven't actually done anything for it.
