I'm curious as to what people here earn. Post your approximate salary, or your hourly wage. I want to know how much everyone is making.

I was making $13 an hour before I left to go to college full-time. After I graduate with my Bachelor's degree, along with the 5 years of experience under my belt, I would very likely be making $60,000-$70,000 after graduation.

After 10 years, and maybe with a master's degree, I might be making over $100,000 a year.

Hardly any right now from work. I was getting unemployment, $253 a week. Now I just got my $1503 SSI check paying me for Dec-Feb.

I made in my life anything between £47'000 p.a. (in this time nearly $80'000) and nothing (currently). I have slight tendency for extremes.

well, i get like 2100 euro (after taxes), but what does it mean? i live in paris, very expensive city (-800 for the apartment). i am good at saving though, since i live alone and i don't need much. i will move to tokyo in april and there i will have much more, but, again, it doesn't tell you much, the amount is not enough to tell how much it actually is.

There was within the German expants in London a general formular that to keep the old livestyle you need to have roughly the same figure in £ in gross income than with € in Germany, even when this formalur was around £1.00 ~ €1.50 and the taxes are also lower. But this benefits were erased up by higher costs of living here in London.

If you make more than minimum you probably make more than I ever did. Hopefully when I get a job this fall I will be making $25/hr or more. Either that or be making 60-70 grand in salary. Hopefully nothing less than $50 grand.

i write software for various clients in a one off package. i charge $110 per hour for designing and writing, and i do not charge for the end product.

also, i work on an ongoing contract basis for a few companies which i charge $55 per hour to service. (they give me permanent work so i can not charge them $110 p.h.)

i process data for other companies for a monthly fee as well.

i was also getting $ 2,500 per month in interest in savings before the GFC, and now it is $900 per month.

i also play on the stock market, but i have hunkered down over the last few months and i am not buying or selling anything.


that is about it.
