I live within my means.

I have had a few years where I've made a bit over 6 figures, but most of the time I fall a few thousand short. That's with no college degree, and in all honesty, it's really not hard work. I leave my house between 10-11 am every morning, and get home by 6.
I feel really bad when I go visit my brother who spent 7 years in school and makes 60k less than me. |

I make almost one third annually what my student loans are. Very exciting. I vomit in my own mouth a little when I think about all those years of foregone wages while I was in school, and I see people without a degree making some coin.
But hey, jealousy is bad karma. More power to them and their families. |

You could have done what I did - get one of those fake degrees from the University of Phoenix (Motto: "Pay your fee, get your degree")
Good thing my employer coughed up for the dime-store diploma. Oh well, it's a good thing I'm so handsome because I've been able to make a comfortable living without a great academic record (I flunked out of CS at BYU and out of Physics at the U). |

Who cares about salary? Let's talk about who has the biggest wang. Probably me.

I laugh every time I see the look on their faces when I advise them to spend as much as they can to ensure they secure the greatest achieving knowledge workers out there whether they are high end back bone gurus or handymen with degrees in sanitation engineering. Sustainability can only be achieved through nurturing the IC within the company. When all is said and done, that is where the value truly lies. Not in the accumulation of inanimate assets.
