I've Made $65k So Far This Year

Those were the exact words of my older cousin at the family
picnic.

"I've been at my job for 9 1/2 years and I've
already made $65k this year".

I was ready to wrap my arms around him and shed a tear
and tell him "you poor soul" you'll make more money soon.

Then I realized he was actually estatic and sort of bragging.

It's funny how IM expands your mind to think bigger.

I remember a few years ago I would have thought making
$65k in 8 months was a dream.

Any similiar experiences?

  • I wouldn't say I had a similar xperience..

    BUT

    I seriously used to work a job in my fathers business for £15k a year and was over the moon when I moved up to £22k...then became a director...

    Then I found IM.. and my income exploded to the point that my position in the family business was worthless..

    And now I laugh about my excitement over £22k...lol

    Funny how IM expands you mind eh?... .. thanks for the memories

    Peace

  • I am in no way making a killing from the internet like the gurus (hopefully soon) but yes it saddens me when I see people working so hard in their day jobs but barely making ends meet. Truly, ignorance is the cause of poverty.

    • My 'offline' job pays me near $100k

      My wife makes an extra $20k part-time.

      We're nowhere near throwing in the towel to those yet.

      However, I'm getting the hang of this now, and it's starting to pay off.

      I don't want a Ferrari...I don't even drive!

      I won't give up work until I KNOW I can RELIABLY earn as much as I do at the moment.

      With a young family, that's just common sense.

  • Hi Daniel,

    I find your comments and attitude interesting and enlightening. I believe the wealthy people I know would find your attitude distasteful and not typical of the 'really' wealthy. They tend to feel that remaining humble towards others in a different financial position is a prerequisite for managing their situation.

    And some of them are from the 'street' too.

    These quotes make sense to me -

    The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. Confucius

    Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life. George Arliss

    I didn't miss the point and I think it is important to have an abundance mindset but not at the expense of everything else.

    Just look at your responses to anyone who happened to have a different opinion to you -

    :rolleyes:

    • For those of us who are not making $65k on IM, I am sure that our determination will lead us there. However, we shouldn't be put down for not making our goal yet. Some people have different expectations than others.

      My mother thinks that $30k a year is "Good Money." I, on the other hand think that $30 is depressing, but I also understand that there are a lot of people who make that amount of money and absolutely love what they do.

      While I have different opinions in how much money I would like to make, I admire them for finding and doing something that makes their life fulfilled.
