Income

Just over $100k recently.

I got to where I am by getting my financial ass kicked by life. I decided to go back to school, studied physics, and even did research during my undergrad. That came in handy because it's what landed me the job. To this day, there's only one time I went to an interview and didn't get the job. Someone's definitely looking out for me.

I'm heavily invested in silver(about 40% of my net worth). Recently sold some when it hit $30. Currently waiting for moratoriums to end so that the housing market normalizes. Then I'll likely buy small(1-2 bedroom) properties and renovate them myself. I can do plumbing, electrical, carpentry, you name it. So it makes sense to just buy a small property, live there while I fix it up, then rent it out or sell it. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I'm currently 38. Should easily be able to retire with 100% of my salary by the time I'm 58. I was broke at 35.

My income is between $50K & $100K. My total assets are ten times that. All due to not spending cash I did not need to spend and investing it in the simple index funds over 20 years. Retiring 15 years before my "official" time to some warmer climates in three months and will probably buy a house in some rural area when the current real estate craziness calms down a bit....

Very Important tip for the 20-something MGTOWs...

Start saving The Max in a 401k or IRA.

Do not wait. Start first thing tomorrow if you aren't already doing this.

I’ve made over 100k already this year- 85k from work, the rest from investments. I will easily clear 200k. Here’s the thing, I never went to college, barely graduated HS. I partied all through my 20s before I matured and eventual got into energy field. It’s been the biggest blessing in my life, and I love my job and like going to work. I work out in rural areas by myself. If any MGTOW are struggling to find a career path, I would suggest looking at resource\energy, you can do well with no experience and move up fast.

OrphanSlaughter · 2021-07-13T05:08:29+00:00

I put zero, because i just finished first year in uni

Thereisnopurpose12 · 2021-07-13T00:18:45+00:00

Honestly this would be a nice addition to MGTOW. there are places where it's hard to live by yourself in rent can be high. And just in general learn about the dudes in the community

I am uneducated by societal standards. Early on I worked multiple low end jobs and barely put food on the table for my wife and kids. I spent my free time watching coding tutorials on YouTube. My first gig was on Upwork.com which was originally called ODesk.com. I was blown away that I had landed a gig for a whopping $15/hr. That was a big deal for me. I got the gig because I was the cheapest bid for a person who lived in the same country as the hiring manager. Others were bidding $50/hr+. It took about 2 years to get enough experience to demand that much money. I learned most of my skills on the job. When I came across someone who knew their stuff I absorbed everything I could.

At some point I got to the point where I had more work then I could handle. I hired people overseas and closely managed the deliverables. Eventually I got to where I could estimate jobs effectively on a fixed price. I teamed up with marketing agencies who needed technical skills and launched a full scale agency. This took about 6 years.

I’m now building my own products that I license to companies.

I made a lot of mistakes, wasted a lot of money on dumb ideas, and lost a lot of gigs because I was in over my head, but I kept on going.

Blue collar jobs is solid money too. Sure, some of them can be extremely demanding, but they eventually pay off after the required experience is accumulated. And at the current rate where everyone is going to college, these jobs will be in higher demand in the future, therefore, higher pay.

Dunkman83 · 2021-07-13T22:57:49+00:00

over 150k

im a trucker, theres a driver shortage so i basically get all the ot i want plus incentives.

over the pandemic i really learned out to trade stocks (i went to college for fianances but never finished).

im debt free, have over 300k put away, i own a small (nice) house that ill have paid off in less than 10 years.

retirment plan is to keep doing what im doing, stay away from dating. just stack my money and keep my nose clean.

Historical-Agency334 · 2021-07-13T00:15:50+00:00

I think stock ETFs and real estate are the best place to put savings.

If you make more than 200K, sorry I forgot to add that option but feel free to put it in the comments.

The Roman philosopher and statesman Cicero considered the ability to say “enough” a core part of frugality, a virtue that, he thought, carries with it every other virtue.

FreeSelf-sufficient · 2021-07-13T03:06:35+00:00

If I add my investments and property rental income with Energy and construction company I easily make over 1 million a year . Now getting into gold and diamond mining.

mtg92025 · 2021-07-13T08:51:23+00:00

Military, 15 years active, USAF. Now a field service representative making >100k$ + VA disability. Military service doesn’t pay well but it can pay off as did in my case.

This isn't really cut and dry and a one number aspect in life's accomplishments based on salary alone. Alot depends on age, financial behavior, spending. Time also allows for skills, salary increases, investment compounding that are also earned over time

When was young out of military, was gmoy and earnings less than 50k. Have always been good with handling money, living on less than earned. Time goes on,bust my ass,work as much OT as could, paid down on house, saved and in invested, learn new skills, processes, software. Salary lagged a little bit but got better job and now over 6 figures plus bonus. It's a curve over time and is not a one time number and depends alot on financial habits. It's also alot different now to with prices skyrocketing

I've always invested when can and as salary increased so do investments. As investments increase so do gains with power of compunding. Those are not direct salary dollars but are earnings from letting money work for you. I find it fun and intriguing to watch and is quite impressive over time

About 38k £ after tax. HGV driver.

Number of income in USD may be far confusing, because life in different places costs different amounts of money.

I earn like 1000-2000 USD a month, working in biotechnology company Wich may seem low. But here it is enough to rent a decent apartment, pay for food, travel around the country and have most things I need. Though, it is too small salary to own a car without loans.

That's, because food is quality but cheap here, cars are expensive, rent is low, clothes are relatively cheap, travels are cheap and for instance computers are expensive.

So, for a real, outside of USA, this poll will give quite a distorted picture.

Edit. Money are invested into crypto, plus I have an account for future startup. Wanna make my own biotechnology company one day. Got several decent ideas and know-how's

Retirement: never. I am a scientist, so have no plans to stop working in my field, till I am physically and mentally capable. Because that's one of the things I live for.

I am currently 31. Master graduate in Biochemistry, probably going to get PHD, if need to or have time for it

No student loan (grades high enough to get a state-funded biological ed.), no credits, ever.

Standa666 · 2021-07-13T11:10:46+00:00

There should be an option for 200k+

toxic-light · 2021-07-13T09:37:59+00:00

BITCOIN + MGTOW = The Ultime Form Of Masculine Sovereignty.

aknabi · 2021-07-13T07:17:45+00:00

Over 200 here, but wasn’t an option.

Nathaniel66 · 2021-07-13T05:47:15+00:00

Not USA, but i believe the pattern may be similar everywhere. So my idea was save as much as you can. Even when i was on minimum wage (allowed by law) and renting apartment costed me ~60% of my monthly salary i still managed to save.

When i reached ~34y i was debt free, owned apartment and had some saving that allowed me to start investing. Also i was progressing in my career, my salary now was not super high, but about twice the average national salary- i was still living low life, saving as much as i can. At this point started investing in stocks. I'm 40y and i got enough investments return to stop working for 6-7 years. On my way to full financial independence, hopefully by the time i finish 50y.

Highflyer147 · 2021-07-13T02:10:50+00:00

Eh income is about 85k after taxes. Several streams. But hopefully one day I’ll have a decent stream from assets.
