I knew runners were smart and hardworking but all of these household incomes are way higher than the averages in even some of the nicest towns in America. Just doing some quick math if you are pulling in $500K (have seen multiple households claiming this on the thread) do you live in like a $3M place?
I posted earlier. Household income is 674k a year, the value of my house is approximately 550k, paid mortgage. Cars are my passion so I spend a lot on them but have also made a lot of money selling them. Will buy high range cars, wait for the value to rise and sell on. My job is a golf course shaper, I drive a dozer basically but it is a highly specialized area of machinery operation with long days and punishing deadlines on multi-million dollar projects.
This job supplied the bulk of my wealth and enabled me to be able pursue my passion in exotic cars and once I realized there was potential to make money from gambling on the appreciation value of certain models, my hobby quickly turned into a substantial topup to my yearly earnings which required very little work. I am away from home a lot so having a 3 million dollar mansion for 2 people does not make sense to us. Outside of cars, we do not live a lavish lifestyle.
I too posted earlier. If you factor in my old lady then our household income is north of $553k as of 2016. We purchased a lot outside of Bolton, MS for just under $200k and had our house built all in all for about $1m (This is in 2004, mind you). Zillow prices it at $4.3m. So I'd say we live in a house of what's expected with someone of our income levels.

I posted earlier too. $750k combined income. Our house cost about that over a decade ago when we made less. We paid off the mortgage a year ago. We also have a vacation home worth about half of our main house, but it still has a mortgage. We spend money mainly on child-related things and invest as much as possible with early retirement as the goal.
90k, don't own a car lol, I ride an old bike from the 80s that I bought when I was in college for $300 lol.
Independent insurance adjuster for 26 years, 140 - 200K. 2011 Toyota Tundra, 2000 Subaru Outback
I think I win...I Founded a small energy service company in the Permian Basin in 1998, almost went broke 3 times by 2008. Reinvested everything I made during that time to grow and expand - then came the fracking boom - I cash flowed in 2009, profited nicely in 2010, sold in 2011 - walked with $79 million after taxes and debt was paid. I drive a Ford F-250, but mostly ride in my leer jet. Oh, my primary home is worth about 800k, but my 4500 acre ranch is worth about $11 million. I don't own vacation homes - I just rent whatever I want, wherever I want. My 5k is sub 20, but not by much. I was a below-average Hs athlete and I didn't run in college, just took it up as a hobby. I make more in interest each day than most of you jokes make in a year slaving away at work. Stop bragging about making 400k working for someone else and go build something special and make some real money. If you are a real Hs coach, I salute you - thank you for your service.
What this guy says...new Toyota Highlander for fam 40k vs 35 with 2 yrs and 20k miles...I'll take the new one and no issues for small premium....

No you definitely don't win. Life has to be awful and lonely for someone so miserable and to have no friends that don't use you for your money.
