Another big factor is write offs. Many people who make high 6 or 7+ figures own businesses and have write offs and in reality make far more than their taxes show. Maybe on paper only 1% make more than $500k but in reality a lot more are pulling in over that but for one reason or another it isn't in their AGI

Hi, Humphrey. I retired in November of 2021 at age 60 in midwest, northern Illinois. I didn't break the $100k point 'til 2017. The most I ever made from earned income was $128k. But the final 11 months that I worked I made $108k of earned income from my job at a major utility & $400k gross from real estate investments. I accumulated $1.8 million in assets in 401(k), Roth i.r.a.s, rental properties & a very small farm. I sold 1 property that made it possible for me to retire that same year. Another large electric utility kinda told me to sell to them or they could take it from me by emminent domain. I bought it in 1996 & had paid it off long ago. So, I said, "Ok...". I only have a high school diploma & knew I would never afford college. So, I went to work for a natural gas utility & stayed with them for 37 years. I just knew that I had to make it past $1million in investments & not rely on a huge income because I didn't attend college. I managed to pass that mark by a bit more.

I started buying some more stocks at the beginning of the year, but nothing big. Why am I treating this so harshly? I still want to be the first person in my polygamous family to make a million dollars despite the fact that others in my field make six figures per person. I am well aware of the costs associated with working more to get more money.

Being in Texas with a 140k salary I personally feel to be touching the rich feeling. It is almost guaranteed for us to save at least $2k a month at a minimum even though we do not hold back too hard on what we do during the month. I do believe that you don't always need to obtain a high level degree. I only have a bachelors and work as a Controls Engineer. To me the key if you do not get a graduate degree is to keep expanding your skills. I primarily work with PLCs but still have learned how to use Python, C#, and various scripting languages because companies value having someone that can build tools that improve the efficiency of our every day tasks. I run a small eBay business selling battery packs. I do all of my own investing. Never stop learning.

Wanna be in the 1%, you're usually gonna have to be a little bit of a salesperson in some way. Running a business, working on commission, representing a person or entity negotiating contracts. Whatever it is, the most valuable skill comes down to convincing a few wealthy people to give you a lot of money or many people to give you a little money.

It is hard to break into the top 5% or better without owning your own successful business. There are a handful of exceptions like specialized jobs (underwater welder). Also, if you had a good income and saved/invested very well, by the time you're in your 50s you could be top 5% or better.

For me, big city trappings can get old quick and it can be super expensive. Instead, if possible, live in a lower cost of living area and visit the larger cities when you want those attractions. Additionally, those features will feel more special since you can't access them everyday and you'll be less tempted to spend away what little disposable income you might have by living in a high rent area.

I'm on the PhD track. I have a master's in engineering, seeking a PhD in chemistry, aiming for a tenured position in academia, which is usually pretty secure as well as lucrative in my target field. But it really isn't so much about the money for me, as it is that my actual job is going to be trying to answer my most pressing questions and maybe discover something new. Oh, and the fact that I never have to retire.

Loved the video Humphrey! you've come so far, and the content you are putting out is very informative. I personally think that richness in terms of $ is subjective and then it becomes even more subjective when we are not talking about "rich "but "wealthy" (which takes into account much more than just $ in your account, such as health, family, relationships, wisdom etc.). But i personally think that today, in this society, to feel rich, you need to make over 500.000$ a year. which correlates to being in the top 1% ish given the statistics. for me personally, it's much more than that haha

at the other guy said during the interview is false. Sure, you can skip that and take risk to start your own business, hoping to strike it rich. But thrn you are taking on the 90% chance that your business will fail in the first year. Or, like Asian Americans, being highly educated and be 95% assured of a high income, then use that high income to buy equity/ownership in a successful business and have their employees make money for you. Anyone who says a high paying job cant make you rich obviously doesn't understand risk management in investing.

If you want to know what the top 20% income is, it is just the average. Meaning the top 20% earns 50% of all income. The median income, meaning half of earners earns above and half below, is just half of the average. Half the population earns less than half of the average income.

I bet this is more of a correlation than a causation. Meaning ambitious people who are likely to succeed will apply that ambition to their education, but their education did not cause their success.

My goal is more of a moving target. I want to make the threshold to be considered an accredited investor every year. For a single person i believe its 250k but im getting married soon so itd be 350k. I do not care to make much more than that (on paper) but retain assets within my business/holdings company. I'm going to school for CE but am currently a marketing manager. I don't make a whole lot but in the industry I'm in with the connections i have i believe i could open my own office/franchise within a couple years. And if that doesn't work ill have a CE degree to fall back on, my fiance is in school too be a nurse. That should help too i suppose.

College dropout here and in that 5%. LOTS of non-school study, OTJ experience and then into Big Tech as an IC then management. Glad to see that mentioned but also on the where you live side of things getting a full remote position gives you a lot of flexibility. Whether you like city living like Humphrey, ski resorts and beaches like me or LCOL and saving, you have the option if you choose your company and role carefully.

I always thought it was funny that the default progression was IC to management. Not everyone is good at that and the qualities that make someone really good at an IC tech position work against them in management. Basically, you're starting over mid-working career.

@@JasonTaylor-po5xc Agree, and I've seen it go well and poorly. The ones that went poorly were because company structure was such that really good IC's topped out and felt they HAD to make that change even if they weren't a good fit for it. I made the choice deliberately as I started to enjoy the nuts and bolts less and the strategy, mentoring and people side of things more as a lead/principal engineer. Seeing people you've coached grow into highly competent and confident engineers capable of delivering on really cool projects is super rewarding. So is taking an idea and GENTLY guiding everyone involved and having it grow fruit is as well. But the politics, negotiations, hard conversations and decision making is not and should not be for everyone!
