You'd be surprised. But I wouldn't call the guys between 100,000 and 299,999 schmucks like
@Stockbroker did..
Please let me clarify - I wasnt calling ppl making under 300k schmucks, especially bc i would certainly fall deep into that category. What i said was, ‘any schmuck can make 100k when you live in a big city like nyc.’ Most college graduate salaries at any bank or major tech firm starts around 85-95k for back office, while front office, youre looking at 150-200k. And those who arent so fortunate can still find something junior requiring basic skills at 50k and flip jobs every 18 months for 25-30% bumps (assuming accumulate some skills and can talk a decent interview game) and theyll break 100k in a few years. Hence,
@billyS when they say they want a man who makes 6 figures, adjusted for inflation nowadays, they probably mean 7 figures or high 6 figures.
How many guys on UG do you think of making three to $500,000 a year
but based on my reverse calc, the amount of guys who drop $20-25k per annum on the hobby are quite a few here and doing the math, thats ~$40-50k pre tax, and probably estimate 5-10% of gross income would be $400-800k. And there are guys here who drop $50-100k+. anyways hope i didnt offended anyone,or go too far off topic - apologies if i did.
