[MuscleInk]

You guys don't sound as successful as I thought you'd be..

Define success.

$50k+ a year

[SexySweetheart]

$50k+ a year

I certainly dont make money like THAT, but helping needy kids, war vets and military families that are home while spouse is deployed fighting our battles = HUGE PERSONAL SUCCESS, not to mention massive good karma credit

[Lunk1]

$50k+ a year

THAT is not successful. That's pay check to paycheck!

[powerlifter198]

Ill let you know in a year if I feel successful

[Honkey_Kong]

$50k if you're single and living frugally isn't that bad. It's really not so much what you make, but what you save.

Maybe depending on where you live but 50K doesn't go very far if you want to enjoy life

Well...although it shouldn't be measured solely by income, 50K ain't cutting it no matter how you measure success.

From the mouth of babes. You have no idea of what success means except in the terms of $$$

LOL, 50K I make well over double that, almost 3x and as far as money goes it doesn't go very far and it does not buy you happiness or success.

$500K a year would be a good start but $50K is barely above poverty level.

Success comes in a lot more ways than $$$ and they are more important. You will figirue that out in about another 25 years.

The most happy people I have encounter are in 3rd word country. They spend their time eating in groups, singing Karaoke, drinking and planning the next meal. Very few cares beyond that.

agree.
if talking purely about financial success, i think it all depends on what that person sees as successful.
High expectations can lead to feelings of unhappiness when they are not met... but if you are a happy person as long as your basic needs are met ~ more money is great but not a measure of your success.
hell as long as I am debt free and can paint/ mountain bike /kayak I feel successful money wise and thats on my sad little income lol. I know people that make a lot more money yet have crap relationships, hate there job, are so swarmed in debt its laughable and I dont see them as successful in any aspect at all

Describe "common people" please

Just people who have the "just enough is good enough" attitude. These people really annoy me there like sheep. And if not all of them vote for the australian labor party or the greens!!!!!!!!!!

I find this racist and offensive
WHAT gives you the right to define people and put them into classes
You scream and go running to admin every time someone remotely challenges or gives a snide comment about your beloved Australia yet you have the sheer front to call people for enjoying a lifestyle they are content with!!!!!!!!
Your a complete hypocrite.......... Reported

This answer has me scratching my head , to me common people are the lower class ie working class this is what the upper class called working class was common people and the Labour Party in this country supported the common working man/ woman , so is it that because you are on a high pay that people below you are common , I don't know of anyone that just settles for what they have they always strive to give there family a good standard of living just that some have to work harder than others

This makes me common then?

I would love 2 minutes with you alone.

I could go and earn thousands if I wanted I choose not to
Money is not the be all and end all remember that!!!!

The way you come across on this board with your terms of phrase etc you remind me of a tv character here in England
His name is frank Gallagher,
He talks a good game but is bottom of the barrel COMMON going by your terms.

Read below and please tell me what you thought when you read that and be honest!
Although I have a good idea what you may of been thinking as you never commented on it!

I don't make a lot
I'm not a greedy person
Roof over head
Food in cupboards
Bills paid
And family time is what matter most to me.

I could choose to work more but I wouldn't see the kids half as much so I opt for a simple life
I don't struggle at all
Always got some spare cash and holiday money.

But family time and love is where Im at.

I'm a teacher of some description

Not sure if this was because u don't belive he makes that much, or because you don't believe about 50k being over poverty. Cause im right there with lovbyts,, making just under 3x that, and I live just about pay check to pay check. But that said, I consider myself successful. Because I am happy with what I do.
