Support NeoGAF

[HMD]

I always love these confessional threads, especially when it's with a bunch of people with similar hobbies. So GAF, how old are you? and how much do you make? (it'd be cool if you could mention what it is that you do, but I understand if you don't want to)

Edit: I'm a 20 year old student and I make around $12,000 a year, but I live with my parents so I get to spend it on cool things.

 

[Browny]

My Wikipedia entry tells me I'm on $400,000 per annum. Not that I have to really spend much. But I'm going to be unemployed next year, so may have to start some budgeting exercises.

Spoiler

Best of luck, OP...

[Gravy Boat]

Im earning about 5k more now than I was this time last year yet somehow it feels like I have less money than ever before, even after cutting down on pointless spending. Being an adult is hard.

 

[Darth Karja]

$8.45 an hour. I'm 25. I am a manager at a gas station. With overtime about $19,000 a year.

 

[CassCade]

18, student make about $4000 annually, part time of course, spend it on stupid things.

 

[Barzul]

$43,000 23 years old

 

[RumblingRosco]

[Doc_Drop]

30, about $21-22k (I'm from UK). Secretary at a medical practice working 30hrs per week (3 day weekends for the win and 5 weeks paid holiday per year plus bank holidays)

I honestly need to find a better paying job though, and one that preferably has more like minded colleagues, a great deal of mine are 45+, married, family, and don't have that many hobbies besides family and food/drink

 

[TangerineCloud]

Just turned 22 and started a new data entry job at $12/hr with a small tech company that manages databases for insurance companies.

 

[Moppet13]

50-60k a year 23 years old. I'm a Table games and Poker dealer, and occasionally a supervisor.

Edit: I live in Southern California so money doesn't go quite as far as I would like.

 

[Lionheart1827]

80k at 29

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

$53K/year + $1000 bonus if I do well.

Not great for my job title (.Net Programmer), but not bad for considering how laid back the place is and the fact that I have a liberal arts bachelor's degree (but a programming associate's degree).

I've only been there one year though, and I'm pretty sure, based on what other people make, that I should continue to get decent pay bumps as I go along.

Unless your spouse makes 10x your income, I think you're doing your taxes wrong. Federal income MARGINAL tax rate at $35k is 15%. Effective tax rate for you should be closer to 13%. (8am math warning.)
