$30/hr is considered "high earnings"?

[Zaphod]

I make more than that and with the economy the way it is we're one medical emergency from bankruptcy.

I make considerably more than that and still could be far better off with more. That once was a great wage, no longer.

 

[troubador]

That's quite a bit above median income. So it's higher than what most people make.

I wish I made $30 per hour.................

If I only made $30/hr, I'd be up shit creek with a turd for a paddle.

Don't worry somewhere some guy is giving blowjobs outside a Tacobell by the dumpster in exchange for Doritos Locos Tacos.

Which is pretty sad.

$34K puts you in the top 1% in the world.
We are the 1%: You need $34k income to be in the global elite... and half the world's richest live in the U.S. | Mail Online

I know tool hands that are getting 16000 dollar checks every 2 weeks, but are still broke.

Idiots with their money

marketing ploy to get folks to register for their courses. My wife is an accountant and doesn't do that well. I make twice that being a dirty mechanic.

Higher than median income average.

Based on a U.S. Median annual household income (pretax) of 54k, 30 an hour ( pretax income approx. 64k) is not really "high earnings".

once adjusted for inflation its not much. cumulative inflation on the USD is 30% every decade.

I have made $30 an hour in the past. High earning? Definitely not. I would not call it low, but not high either.

Taxes and cost of living.

And another situation: being single, and living on a sole income.

$30 per hour is somewhere in the working class.

 

[heckler7]

seems like after reading everyones posts that people who hang out on BB forums make good money, are racist, suffer from some injuries that make it hard to work out, are slightly attracted to trannies, and abuse tons of AAS

 

[Diesel618]

I could definitely get by on $30/hr. I've never made close to that.

Shit bro.. $30 is nothing now in days.. fucken greedy uncle wants his cut to pay for the lazy mudda fkers and to buy cellphones to the people who rather stay home and watch tv instead of being productive in todays society. PLUS if you make $30 more than likely you have a high ass health insurance and still have to pay taxes at the end of the year.. while baby mommas have 8 kids and get $1k of child support each month from each child.. plus free medical, and a $10k tax return at the end of the year. Oh yeah and she gets a free cellphone from the government.. WTF!!!

 

[cornedbeefhash]

$30 an hour isn't shit! Making money is a constant grind. I work VERY hard and it pays off. If you put the time in, the money will come.

If I include my wife we are quite a bit above median average.. she makes more than me..my question is does that make me a gold digger...

I do believe $30/hour is still considered "high" pay for the average American.

Nope just another stat in the new reality. My buddy is a mechanical engineer with the missile division of a large company. His wife is a ER nurse. She makes more than he does and he designs things that fly and go boom.
